Caffeine Withdrawal

I am finally trying to get off coffee. Before MA was born, I hardly drank coffee and I was what you would call a social coffee drinker (if there is such a thing). Having MA meant staying up more and that got me hooked on this easily available perk-me-up beverage that comes in just about anyway you want it.

So, I had started last Tuesday, and it was NOT good. The first day ended with a massive migraine and horrible hunger pangs, like even now. The 2nd day, I had this really bad temper that I could not shake. Everything pissed me off. The 3rd day, i was constantly hungry. Good thing I had lunch with a client and tea with my boss. I ate a lot and did not have to pay. hehe. Friday was not so good too, i ate quite a bit as I had lunch with another client. So, I guess this quitting caffeine thing is going to make me put on some weight.

The weekend came and I caved. I always make Moconna coffee on the weekends and I really like it, so I had a large cup of it on Saturday AND Sunday. So I'm back to square one and I am still there cause I just made a cup for myself this evening. As I write this, I am enjoying my coffee which is taking away my hunger pangs, although I am eating scones now. So, I don't know which is helping.
