I don’t miss it one bit, and that surprises me

April 24th, 2008 | 4 Comments

A few months ago, in the height of my stomach woes, I reduced my caffeine intake from six to eight cups of tea a day down to one or two. The weird thing is that I knew it would kill me to give up caffeine. It’s not just that I expected to have sleepiness issues, either. I just really enjoy a cup of tea.

But I’ve found that I really don’t miss the extra caffeine at all. And on some days, I forget to make my first cup of tea until the afternoon. Other days I find myself thinking about making a second cup and never getting around to it.

I actually feel freed by the lack of caffeine. Who knew?

But I love caffeine!

January 14th, 2008 | No Comments

A few weeks ago, at the height of my recent tummy woes, I decided I needed to drastically reduce my caffeine intake. I’d been drinking probably eight cups of hot tea per day (black or green). I needed to know if the caffeine was causing my problems, definitely, but I also needed to make sure I wasn’t going to have caffeine withdrawal issues at the same time as stomach issues (because my stomach was hurting too much at times to drink tea).

Now I find myself down to one cup of tea a day - the lowest amount of caffeine per day that I’ve consumed since I was in middle school. And the weird thing is that although I love hot tea, I’m not really missing it.

But maybe I shouldn’t say that right at the beginning of tax season.
