When I do my 3-day calorie cut back, I also cut my coke back to 0.
I also have a raging headache by the end of the 3rd Day.
Holland came home with 4 coke 6-packs the other day: 1 is already gone, and the other is in the 'fridge, chilling.
When he came home and passed them to me through the open doorway, I asked, "Why so many?"
He said, "I live here too. I know how you get when you don't have your daily coke." I replied, "You make me sound like an addict."
He didn't say a word - but the glance my way said plenty.
I'm not going to live in denial anymore … we both laughed as he climbed up Independence's steps & passed me a coke.
No more headache. Let the calories settle where they will 😂🤣
That moment also reminded me of my full-flavor-coffee Days (I drink 1 cup of decaf/Day, now).
I remember the time I was diagnosed with angina & Dr. Richard Avalon said I needed to "stop drinking coffee."
I looked at him, and said, "Just kill me now - I am pretty sure I was drinking coffee in my baby bottle!"
So, I went home and told my family I needed to go cold-turkey.
Bob looked at me like I'd gone off the rails (he knew I'd be headed for the cliffs).
Stacey looked at her dad for a sense of direction (this would NOT be a pretty happening).
Both KNEW I was, at that point in time, drinking TWO FULL COFFEE POTS OF COFFEE DAILY.
But, I did give the cold-turkey thing a shot …
It lasted 2 weeks.
Everyone was walking on eggshells.
Bob was seeing gray in his hair.
I was curling up in bed, in a fetal position: bawling for a coffee IV.
Stacey finally broke down - hauled the coffee pot back out of hiding; plugged it in and filled the house with that heavenly aroma.
Then she brought me a BIG mug of my go-juice, and said, "Please Mom. Drink it!. Dr. Avalon doesn't live here, with us. He has NO IDEA …"
Amen!
It was like a resurrection of the dead … right then & there 😉
And with the coke, Holland is also my lifesaver 😘
