Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Hang in there, Sarah. The headache is bad, I know. But it goes away in a couple days and it's so worth it.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I'm going to encourage Sarah as much as you have me, Jimmie! I'm still doing great and not even wanting it now. Right now I'm kinda feeling sorry for myself (holidays do that to me) and thinking about going to get a Diet Rite. Just one though as sort of a holiday treat? This whole thing is getting easier every day, not just the caffeine, but eating right. I turned the keto sticks next to the darkest color finally and that's inspired me. I don't want to lose my purple!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

How are you doing, Sarah??

[jimmie 48]

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

yeah, how you doin' sarah?

cristy, how are you? are you still racking up the caffeine free days?

who did we lose along way in this thread? i know lauren (she's excused) and freckles (she's been out of town). who else said they wanted to do this? i have to look. we have gone so many days of them not checking in that i have forgotten who was doing what.
these are the ones who said yeah, i'll do it or i need to do it . a few posts were made by others but i don't think they were serious about joining/quitting. others were just cheering us on.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I'm here and doing great with this. I treated myself to a Diet Coke yesterday, caffeine free though. I know it wasn't the right sweetener like the Diet Rite and I just decided to treat myself for the holiday. That and the one Diet Rite a week ago is all I've had though and I'm drinking water water water!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

good deal, cristy!

once things are in hand and in control, i think you will be okay with the occasional treat. the minute that becomes a two treat a day thing, you know you have to stop. mainly, you just don't want to trigger anything that will cause a caffeine binge. you'd be starting all over again.

you're doing great!

watch for sarah! i've got things i have to tend to.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I wouldn't think going caffeine free would do that, Sarah. Have you eaten anything different? Keep drinking that water and hang in there. Your energy is going to come back up.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

sarah, you haven't been on top of your game. you've had headaches and stress and now the challenge of quitting the caffeine. pay no attention to the scale. if your clothes are the same as they were 2 days ago, then things are fine. you know we fluctuate from day to day. it's not fat weight so you are fine.

keep her on track, cristy!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I feel really really Depressed right now as if the weight going up wasn't enough GOD there is nothing worse then gaining weight when you already feel like a pile of crap. I Hope giving up the caffeine really kick srtarts my weight loss this is the last straw I am sooo stressed right now at my lack of weight loss progress everything for the past 5-6 months. Watching everyone losing around me makes me happy but, makes me sad and somewhat bitter at the same time. I work soo ahrd and it just SUCKS

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Sarah, you have come so far and accomplished something amazing.... 107 pounds lost?? That incredible!! Don't be hard on yourself and from what I've read here this stall will pass. Please try not to get discouraged and don't even get on that scale for a while. Put it away and don't even look at it!
