It’s an adjustment to live without coffee. Pickles of course I love but they weren’t a staple in my life but coffee is. It’s now 2 days without my ‘fix’ and I definitely see a difference in my personality. I’m a little more jumpy, and easily frustrated. I don’t expect this to last too, too long. Maybe another day or two (hopefully). Caffeine is also a natural appetite suppressant which is why it’s frequently used in diet pills. I’m not sure how that’s impacting me – but I do feel a little more hungry today than in recent days/weeks. At the office I ate my apple, carrots and cherries. Small amounts of carrots/cherries but I had gotten to the place where I wasn’t hungry in between meals and so this may be because of the missing coffee/caffeine. At any rate, I was in the mood for Chinese food after work so I stopped at a yummy restaurant and had a good meal. Certainly not something I would do with any regularity, but once in a while it's fine. As for the caffeine... I’ll keep you posted! Meanwhile,
