Coffee, Schmoffee/Colas, Schmolas

[pamojamo]

I gave up coffee and diet colas for Lent (began March 1). I didn't think it would be possible. It's taken a while for the grieving to stop, but now I feel great. I don't plan to go back. It's just water for me now.

woohoo!! Awesome! :) The best part about coffee(for me, anyway) is the smell! The smell and taste are sooo not the same. I love walking by the coffee aisles in grocery stores. mmm :) That's so great you gave it up, though! That stuff is toxic!! same with soda ! Congrats! :D

Yahoo. I am with you on this one. I gave it up too, 2 weeks ago. I had a 18 year affair with cofee and now it is gone !!

Thats the two things I've given up permanantly since going raw in febuary Pretty sure its been 30 days today that I have not had one drink of coffee or soda. I used to drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day along with numerous rounding I would say 6-8 diet soda's a day. I was addicted. Not always the same amount each day ofcourse but it was the two things I could have that didnt have calories! I've drinkin water since raw and just can't even bring myself to have a dehydrator drink. It takes too much away. Just wish I could get that in my head about sad food!

I thought I would have an incredibly hard time with coffee, but after eating raw for a month or so... it tasted horrible!!!

Coffee didnt taste anywhere near what I was used to so it helped me a lot.
