Coffee talk

i still havent had caffiene yet. ok, i have had it in the form of diet soda but i have not willingly purchased or consumed a coffee with caffiene in it. one day i couldnt resist and bought a decaf latte, but it was decaf. big step for me. this is coming from the girl who drank nearly a pot of full on caffiene a day. i was going through a pound of coffee a week! it's a wonder i wasnt getting headaches and major withdrawl symptoms, however if i experienced them, they were obviously so minor they didnt warrant any concern. my full on daily coffee pot consumption habit was probably a year or two in the making.


i found that coffee made me too twitchy but there are afternoons where i utterly crave it.  today i went out and ran errands and passed by the drive through starbucks and sighed.  oh how it would have been great to drink a decaf latte with sugar free caramel!!  even now i think about it and drool a bit. 

i'm really not sure why i'm punishing myself in this manner.  i should just switch back to caffiene and be done with it, but in a way it's that stupid stubborn trait i have to do exactly the opposite of what i desire.  i dont know why i do that.  it's not like i'm going to win a medal for not drinking coffee.  nobody cares, ffs.  it's just a self-driven desire to hold back on one thing.

and really, of all the things that are bad for me in my life, coffee is the least harmful.  if only i could adopt that stance with beer.

sigh.
