Lately I have been on a diet, trying to loose about 35-40 lbs as fast as humanly possible. This means as little calories as possible and lots and lots of excercise. Problem = no calories no energy to excercise.
However, I think I have found my magic diet drink: Iced Coffee. No not the crap from starbucks or Dunkin' Doughnuts, there is nothing in my coffee, except coffee and splenda. The great thing about it is, it curbs my appetite, it has less than 5 calories a cup, and it gives me plenty of energy. The bad thing about it is, I have become completely dependent on it, like a crack addict feinding for crack, and I have insomnia.
I didn't mind the dependence or the insomnia at first, it just meant more coffee and more time to do stuff, but what I do mind very much is how many cups I am drinking a day. Right now it is 11:31AM and I have already had 4 cups. I have only been awake for 4 hours. That means about a cup an hour, which isn't that bad until I realize that throughout the work day I end up having around 8 or 9 cups of coffee.
After 6PM I always cut my self off or I won't be able to sleep at all, but that leaves about 9 hours filled with coffee.
I honestly think that I have an addiction. I mean I try to stop, but I can't. About an hour after I stop drinking it I start getting jittery. About two hours after I stop drinking I get weird nervous butterflies in my stomach. About three hours after I stop drinking I just cant stop thinking about where I am going to get my next fix. About four hours after I stop drinkin I go and stand in front of my fridgerator, just staring at the big pot of coffee I have inside, thinking about whether or not I should have some.
I just read that last paragraph over and I think that I have honestly lost it. If you didn't know I was talking about coffee, it would honestly sound like I was talking about some sort of drug.
Do they have rehab for coffee? I think I might need a coffee intervention soon.
Well I have to go now, I want to get some more coffee.
