Well it finally happened. I skipped my caffeine yesterday afternoon for the first time and I woke up with a headache at 1:30 this morning. I was able to go back to sleep but still have the headache this morning. It is not a bad headache, just a nagging one.

Sorry folks, but I don't want to go half and half today, staying with the 3/4 and 1/4. I will also skip my caffeine in the afternoon today since I don't want to move backward.

Time to chug down two mugs of coffee!!!

Have a great day everybody.
 
Hey jane,

Sorry to hear about your headache. You are doing the right thing by not going half and half. Let your body tell you when to do this. I hope it all works out for you today.

Well I made yesterday without caffiene and hoping to continue to do the same today. I'm doing the goal check-in, so that means I will increase my water today. I do not know just how much I will drink. I have set that out in my mind. Maybe I will drink a certain amount every 2 hrs. Maybe you can suggest to me how much I can drink every couple of hrs.

Hope everything goes okay with your caffeine today.

Hey Jane. Caffeine w/d headaches are not fun! I would get a migraine if I didn't get my morning cup of java. It was awful! Don't worry about not reducing your intake again today. Do it in a way that you feel comfortable!

Best of luck! You are doing great!

Hang in there Jane. This is such a good thing you are doing. I am not even considering this yet. Although I have to say I am not drinking as much now that I'm working out everyday. It's 1/2 a pot instead of 3/4.
A friend of mine who drank coffee constantly went off and she went thru the terrible headaches but they do subside. Take your time and keep weaning yourself off. You're doing great!:)

Hey jane,

Wanted to see how the caffeine thing is going. I think you said you were going to miss the afternoon caffeine. I am supposed to drink more water today and I was so busy shopping that I didn't even think about it. So I just put 2 bottles of water in the freezer to get ready sooner.

Hey everybody,

I just posted my fall on the No sweets checkin. I've been gone all day today, just got home. Went to Carrabba's for dinner and had to have a diet coke with grenadine in it since DD said it made the best cherry cokes and it was so good.

I'll intend to make up for my disappointing failure in the morning by going half and half and staying away from caffeine tomorrow afternoon. I bought a diet caffeine free drink for here.

Oh well, first real test and I caved like a house of cards. Maybe I'll get better at this as time goes on. I don't intend to give up.
 
I didn't have any soda today,but I sure as h*ll wanted some. And I have really been slack on my water drinking. I will increase my water tomorrow hopefully 2 glasses every two hours. We'll see.

You are doing the right thing by going off slowly and not cold turkey. You have made progress whether you believe that or not.

Thanks Kim.... I wonder if heroin is this hard to come off of? Seriously I think caffeine is definitely a strong "drug". I do believe mine addiction is both psycological and physiological. I'll just have to overcome both of them.
