Coffee addiction

Submitted by 60 in 3 on June 5, 2007 - 09:03.

I used to get my caffeine fix through sodas. Around 6 to 7 cans a day of either coke or mountain dew. When I tried to get my health under control, I did the math and realized I was consuming around 700 to 800 calories this way. It was enough to make me want to quit.

I changed to diet coke at first and then slowly drank less and less. These days I'll have a caffeine free diet coke once a day, but everything else is just water.

My life was tough the first few days after caffeine, but things slowly improved. I no longer fall asleep at meetings. I no longer have those crashes after lunch when my whole body shuts down. I even sleep much better now.

So congratulations to you on your new healthy drinking habit. Believe me, if you can make it stick, you'll never regret it. You'll end up saving money and feeling better.
