Have you ever seen those gigantic plastic mugs at truck stops or convenience stores, the ones you know people fill up with Mountain Dew or Diet Coke or some combination of carbonated, caffeinated colas and sip on all day long? Once upon a time, I could drink almost that much soda in one sitting. Read More »

Something lovely and miraculous happened on the third day of drastically reducing my caffeine intake. I woke up.
When I did wake up, I actually felt OK. Not perky, but so much better. Maybe it helped that I didn't look like death anymore and that I didn't feel nearly as crabby and groggy as I had for the last few days. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (24) | Blog

I am making my way through my half-pot of half-caffeinated coffee one cup at a time. I am spacing out the coffee like it is tequila, alternating big glasses of water with the good stuff. I am taking time to get up, walk around, stretch. I am trying my best to think positively with kind reminders to myself about how good I am being to my body, what a good job I am doing of taking care of myself.
But I'll be honest, this whole thing bites it. Big time. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (20) | Blog

Remember how brilliantly convenient it was to start my big caffeine reduction project because I was out of coffee? Yeah, not such a fabulous idea after all.

Last week, my doctor delivered the dreaded news that I knew eventually I would have to hear: I need to cut back on the caffeine. We've just discovered that I have a health issue she says is worsened by caffeine, and so it is time to ease up on all the coffee, tea, and chocolate I am consuming. I… Read More »

The first time I drank Diet Coke I was 17 and I was babysitting and it was the only soda they had in the house. I remember not liking the taste. So I kept drinking it until I did like it. Why? I don't know, but since then I've become addicted. Read More »

I used to guzzle an obscene amount Diet Coke every day. Sure, it’s zero calories, but it made me crave sugar like crazy. Every time I’d pop open a can, I’d be hunting for a piece of chocolate to go with...- Let’s talk: Comment (4) | Blog

I am a huge diet coke drinker. I have an addiction to it, I am not sure why or when it became a need of mine, but I have to have at least 2 day. I consider myself a healthy person, concerned with harmful chemicals and my daily calorie intake. That is why I love Diet Coke, it... Read More »

I have come a long way in ditching my addiction to Diet Coke, and now I only drink it occasionally on sunny summer mornings when I'm craving something cold and sparkly (and please forgive me but the Diet Coke at McDonald's captures deliciousness in a way that no other version of Diet Coke...
