Caffeine - Coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, and certain medications.
I have already given up Diet Coke and will be working on switching to decaf coffee soon. I will also have to stop drinking iced tea when we are out to eat. I guess my main drink while eating out will be water. I like my water, but it can get boring. I’ll have to look forward to have my (decaf) iced tea at home.
When my doctor brought up the caffeine in chocolate, I whined, "Really? Chocolate?!"
He laughed and said, "One step at a time, right?"
Right!
And this is just one of the first steps. It already seems so hard! I have given up caffeine before, however, so I know I can do this. The thought that this has to be pretty permanent is what’s getting to me.
I know, I know…this is just the beginning. Yikes!
It might not be permanent, right? Don't you get to introduce stuff back into your diet as you try to find your triggers? Maybe chocolate will be okay. Think positive! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm with Esther, think positive! But also stay focused on the end result...a life without migraines!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAs for the boring water....crystal light (or other similar brands) to flavor your water and give it a bit of a zing! :-)
Well, I know I would be better off staying off caffiene for the most part. But yes, most of the coming things may end up being temporary. :)
