lisamariewillbe 1 #1 February 9, 2006 So after a few months of lectures from Waltappel on my excessive caffeine intake and his recent visit, and him showing me smoothies at the grocery store, and him leaving a huge package of water at the house, since monday I have had nothing but those ... here is how my liquid intake used to fare 2 pots of coffee in the a.m. 2 liter of pepsi in the p.m. now it is 2 cups of coffee in the a.m. smoothies and GASP WATER... Ive had a headache since then but I actually have gotten sleep finally. Not much but some. So come on, pat me on the back... Edited it because yardhippie is a turdSudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #2 February 9, 2006 Wow! 2 pots of coffee and 2 liters of pop? ADDICT!!!!!!!!! Well done, I need to do the same. I usually have coffee and pop later, but I am drinking more water. and maybe with the $$ you save from pop you can buy some real pot pies. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

wmw999 2,600 #3 February 9, 2006 Ya know, when I quit drinking coffee (and I never went past those two cups), my breasts quit hurting as a warning that hormonal activity was starting up. I tried everything else, but the caffeine really did it. Congratulations. Water is good -- get a filter that makes it taste good out of the faucet and you'd be surprised at how much more likely you are to drink some.

lisamariewillbe 1 #4 February 9, 2006 I have found water isnt that bad from a bottle and really cold. I drink to much of it though, I feel so much more thirsty now.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumper03 0 #5 February 9, 2006 Quote2 pots of coffee in the a.m. wimp. At the peak of my addiction I was going through abot 6 pots a day and not the cheap, weak crap either - we're talking cowboy coffee - boil it til it floats a horseshoe.Scars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #6 February 9, 2006 Quotehormonal activity was starting up. I do not have any natural estrogen, but my doc did say that with the HRT that excess caffeine was almost as bad as smoking so not only is it good on the level that I am breaking the addiction, its a health thing as well.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #9 February 9, 2006 you definitely get a pat on the back. Not many people realize that they have a problem with caffeine. I only did when a nutritionist told me the 5-6 20 oz mt. dews a day wasn't exactly good for two reasons, sugar and caffeine. So I stopped drinking caffeine cold turkey. I had a headache for about a week regardless of the water I drank. After that though free sailing and I've probably only had 10 caffeine sodas in the past 3 or 4 years. Keep it up girl!!Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #10 February 9, 2006 QuoteOk, pat me on the back.... Are you choking? I still have some issue with caffeine, but I am trying harder! I am down to 2 cups per day after about a pot of coffee and an energy drink daily. GOOD JOB FOR YOU getting through the withdrawal! You're a stronger woman than me. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #11 February 9, 2006 That is a good thing... I quit completely for a while and now only occationally drink caffine... although I could probably stand to reduce it more. ScottLivin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #13 February 9, 2006 Quote This is why I made gently encouraged my boyfriend to switch to Diet Mt. Dew ummmmm yuck!!!! and I'm not really a fan of Diet drinks anyway. LM if you don't like water try mixing half water half gatorade. It might take a bit to get used to and not all the flavors are good for such a thing. Do it for a few weeks though and then drink a glass of straight gatorade and you will probably never drink the stuff straight again.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #14 February 9, 2006 Well my newest batch of coffee is that half and half stuff... then I will wait till those headaches go away, then switch to decaf and well hopefully wont be dependant on it at all anymore.
