Caffeine Free Me

The caffeine free me is not a happy me.  Or nice.  Or even civil for that matter.
But I'm sure she is going to be healthier.

Hubby and I have changed the way we eat and are exercising and are, just in general getting healthy and trying to lose weight.  We are both succeeding marginally.  So, I decided to put us on a "cleanse" and it basically sucks but I'm definitely feeling cleansed.

Anyone that has ever spent a whole day with me knows I have to have a Coke at some point in the day.  If I don't have one by 2:15 on the nose, I get a raging headache that only goes away with large quantities of pop.  Notice I didn't say "Coke".  By the time this headache rolls in I will take any sort of carbonated, caffeinated beverage that I can get my hands on and make it QUICK.

Well, this particular cleanse that we picked doesn't call for Coke. Not once does it tell me to chug any sort of carbonated beverage.  What the hell kind of cleanse is this???  It better be the kind that makes you lose some freaking weight is all I know!  I'm on day three of caffeine free me and I am feeling the pain!  My head feels like it's going to explode from the forehead straight through the middle of my skull and out the back of my neck just where the spinal cord meets that little ball thing.  Oh yes baby, I can feel all of those little parts.  And right about now I don't like one single one of them.

So, I think I'll go chug some vegetable broth and hope to holy god that when I wake up tomorrow morning I can't feel my temporal lobe like it's growing spines and plotting my death.

  1. Keli, I quit all caffeine about 5 months ago. It was miserable! I had a migraine for days, complete with throwing up. It took about 4 weeks (seriously) for the headache to go away. But, I have to say, now I feel so much better than I did when I drank caffeine...even though I think about it every day :) Good luck!!

  2. Thanks, Linda! I feel a little better today so I'm hoping it doesn't get back to the migraine stage again but I have definitely been there! It's the only thing I've ever been addicted to and it's BAD! :)
