Oh holy heck

So, I decided yesterday that I may as well not wait to give up coffee.  I may as well just do it.  By ten am, my head was KILLING me.  A few hours later, my entire body felt heavy and my mind was in a complete fog.  By 4 o'clock, I was sound asleep.  I just couldn't handle the headache anymore and my body was just completely drained.  Hubby was nice and let me sleep.  I think he realized it was either that, or deal with me and my withdrawls, so sleep I did.  It was our tenth anniversary yesterday.  Probably not the best day to quit coffee, but whatever, I did it.  I thought for sure my two hour nap would keep me up all night long.  Nope.  I was out by 11.  Usually, I start getting tired around 1 am, so it was a HUGE change to go to bed at 11.  I was still exhausted when I woke up this morning.  My head is still pounding.  My mind is still in a fog and I still feel like crap.  I know from experience that by day four, I feel fine, so I'm just going to push through this and deal with it. 

As for the fast, hubby is ADAMANTLY against it...especially while I'm going through caffeine withdrawls.  He doesn't want to deal with me needing caffeine and being hungry at the same time.  So, he likes to say things like, "I know what would make you feel better...a nice quad venti iced nonfat caramel macchiatto!!!"  Shutup.  "I know what would make you feel better, a nice hamburger!"  Shutup.  Yeah, I'm not the most pleasant person right now.

I know this is good for me though, so that's why I'm doing it.  I'm trying to slowly transition my kids to vegetarianism (what do you mean those junior bacon cheeseburgers from Jack in the Box this morning weren't vegetarian?) Yeah, I had a headache and didn't feel like cooking.  So sue me.  The kids aren't very happy about it, but I think if i do it slowly, it won't be that bad.  Not like me and my, "I'm going to quit coffee AND food at the same time!"  Yeah, not so smart.

I went to a Weight Watchers meeting yesterday morning.  You would not believe how many chipper people there are at 6:30 in the morning on a Saturday morning.  OH MY GOD.  Seriously?!!??!  There were over 100 people there and they were all chatting and giggling and having a grand old time.  I just wanted my coffee.  I got weighed in.  Supposedly my weight is just between me and the little booklet they put it in, but I'll share it all with you.  283.  Do you realize how close that is to 300?  Seriously, how did I get here?  What the hell was I thinking?  How freaking stupid must I be to let myself get so fat?  My next meeting is Saturday...at the butt crack of dawn again.  We'll see if the weight has gone down.  Apparently I get a niftt little pin when i've lost 10% of my body weight.  Only 28 pounds to go.  Ick.
