That might make it easier.<br /><br />Also, I find that when I say I definitely can't have something, I want it more. If I say I can have it whenever I want, but just a little, it helps. Also, maybe tell yourself that you can have both, but see how long you can go each day without giving in. Eventually you'll be able to go all day, a few days, a week... etc.<br /><br />Just some ideas. Good luck!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432976266143221608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-66130010897454631852011-04-08T17:00:45.798+10:002011-04-08T17:00:45.798+10:00I want to know how quitting caffeine is going...bu...I want to know how quitting caffeine is going...but I'm scared to ask. ;) Kidding!!<br /><br />Seriously, I had to cut caffeine a few years back because I had a cyst. The doc said that many people are prone to cysts, and caffeine seems to make them happen. She told me either I could quit caffeine or come in to get cysts drained regularly. I mean, I even had to stop eating almonds because of their caffeine content!<br /><br />I am back on the stuff now, but I've cut waaaay down. I think from time to time that it might be better to quit again all together. <br /><br />How are you doing with it?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277973787647515497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-67094571643468273492011-04-07T23:23:46.453+10:002011-04-07T23:23:46.453+10:00I was really irritable when I first gave up most p...I was really irritable when I first gave up most processed sugars (the only ones I usually get now are the natural ones). I think I was in withdrawal. After a few weeks, I started feeling SO much better and now if I have too much sugar, I feel ill. Don't give up yet, but be willing to reduce your intake of both slowly.Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814989061078872030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-30794003388396480342011-04-07T21:59:14.095+10:002011-04-07T21:59:14.095+10:00Wow, you are brave to give up my two favorite food...Wow, you are brave to give up my two favorite food groups.

However, I remember how crazy I was on it and it made it doable. I don't imagine I can give up caffeinated tea but I do limit myself. Giving up both things and once is probably really hard on your body and mind. Give yourself some kuddos for looking out for yourself!!keishuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425697524293318047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-81189215373477164312011-04-07T06:18:52.275+10:002011-04-07T06:18:52.275+10:00maybe i should TAKE UP caffeine and (more) sugar.....maybe i should TAKE UP caffeine and (more) sugar...i'm that misanthropic ALL the time :Da work in progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203814468458158440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-25328918319898386422011-04-07T05:53:29.496+10:002011-04-07T05:53:29.496+10:00I'm a but jittery myself! glad you're so z...I'm a but jittery myself! glad you're so zenned out right now :)Aquíhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772546845834677039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-71617536866018664322011-04-07T05:31:50.900+10:002011-04-07T05:31:50.900+10:00I TOTALLY am with you on the social acceptable-nes...I TOTALLY am with you on the social acceptable-ness problem. Too often!<br /><br />But don't be too hard on yourself. You're trying to give up sugar AND caffeine! Those are two things bodies sometimes RUN on. Maybe start with taking out just a little at a time? It doesn't necessarily have to be all-or-nothing.

It will take your body a little while to get over its cravings which is why you must be feeling so rotten, but try and think about how good you will feel in the long run. Giving yourself a week is a great start. If you still find it difficult after that, maybe instead of going cold turkey you could cut back? Just have a little less caffine and sugar everyday until your body gets used to it? Good luck, would love to hear how you do!Min https://www.blogger.com/profile/09875916940645972018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-9567598248317525102011-04-06T21:58:23.759+10:002011-04-06T21:58:23.759+10:00Wow, I feel for you.

But I gotta at least have some sugar to treat myself a little something. You definitely deserve a medal for giving up BOTH!
