Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I gave up coffee last year myself, for the sake of wasted calories. My problem was I would always put a TON of cream in it! I didn't mind using Equal instead of sugar, or even switching to decaf, but I could never bring myself to enjoy my coffee without a ton of real cream! I would rather not have it at all, LOL. I do treat myself every once in a while now, when I have the calories to spare. ~Jette~ Start Date 4/7/2003 SW-285/CW-256/MG-250/FG-160 Coffee > Hello > > I decided to cut out coffee completely!!

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 , I was Ms. Diet Coke. I used to drink NOOOOO water. YUCK! Then, all of a sudden, one day I went out and bought one of those 1 gallon PUR water dispensers. You full it up with 1 gallon of water, place it in your fridge, and there is a dispenser you pull down to dispense the water. I started drinking it, and stopped drinking the Diet Coke. Ohhh, a day later, I had a killer headache. Couldn't figure out why. Even pain killers wouldn't help. Then I realized....I didn't drink any caffeine for a while. What I ended up doing was drinking a very small glass of diet coke, and the headache was gone. This was about 1 year ago, and I have probably drank 24 cans since. I still allow myself it once and a while, but not the 2-24 packs/week I was driking before. I dont' get the headaches anymore. Now I drink about a gallon of water a day. I guess moral of this loooong story is...if you are considering giving up caffeine, if you can't stand the headaches, you can try drinking 1 small glass. Gradually lower your ammount. And you don't have to cut it out completely. A treat here and there isn't going to make you addicted again!
