Cold Turkey
OK, so two entries back I listed my resolutions. Yeah, it's torture. Yesterday at work I slowly felt all the energy drain from my body. I am NOT starving myself. I ate less than usual, but it was healthy food. I could literally feel myself getting paler. It was awful. My very good friend that I work with (don't worry - he's married with a LOT of kids) came in shortly before I got off work (like 5 minutes before) and I said, "AH! I can't handle this! I've had NO caffeine for 2 days and I'm going to snap! I have hiccups and I want some sweet tea so bad I can barely stand it!!!" Wise man that he is, he had warned me against this. He had said I should slowly cut back. Go from like 5-7 cups of sweet tea a day to 1-2. He was SO right. Well, he said, "Hon, I told you didn't I? Look, I'm going to make you a small cup of sweet tea and remember not to just go cold turkey on this." Well, I'd felt like my stomach was a pool of burning acid all day. When I eat, it has to be something along the lines of what I'm wanting or my stomach literally attacks me and I can't explain it. Well, I had wanted tea all day and since I'd only had water, my stomach had hurt me all day. As soon as that tea hit my stomach, it relaxed and I just slumped into a puddle of happy. 3nodding I don't know why I can't go cold turkey. I've been told that's the best way to do things. Well, I guess I'll just have to have a sip a day. I literally had 4 sips of tea and I was fine. AH! I just wanted to quit it altogether so badly.
