i quit drinking sodas once and went through the mad withdrawls. now that i'm back to drinking anything under the sun (though i no longer *need* 3 to 4 Dr. Peppers/Mt. Dews a day) it's entirely possible to go the whole day without drinking something dark or chowing down on chocolate and not feel the pain. one day out of a hundred, in fact, my body will need that cleansing day, where i get up and the smell of tea turns me off and somehow i'm chugging milk and water, i get through the day only to realize i've seriously only had meat-and-rice for both meals. it happens. rare, but it happens. usually i trash my body. marked chocolate under the first question, but i don't feel anything from chocolate. in fact, i've only just recently begun to learn what it is to feel sick from consuming too much chocolate. fatass runs in the family, so i honestly had no idea people had limits like that.
i marked down that i consume 10 caffeine drinks a day because i know on a day off, mug in hand, doing nothing but sitting in front of the tv (four steps from the microwave) or reading at the kitchen table (two steps from the microwave) tea is a minute twenty and a quick steep away from being back in my hands again. on my days off, i can drink 7 to 10 cups of tea alone. on a working day we're talking 4 to 5 cups of tea, a Starbux drink (there's a branch in my store, hard to avoid), possibly a soda or iced tea at both lunch and dinner.
i have gotten to the point where i've noticed if i don't have tea in the morning. it's only a small complication, a nagging in the front of the skull, but it does make people harder to deal with.
i've turned into a Splenda person, after years of dumping 2-to-3 sugars in my tea (and heaps on top of my french toast), now i take just two packets to a drink. there have been some small changes in both my taste and what appears to be my body's tolerances and balances, but i seriously don't want to contemplate what Splenda is doing to me. i know there are anti-Splenda rants and research floating around, and i ignore them. even if it's giving me cancer. seriously. i don't care. i'm consuming less white sugar and a packet is a little more than .01g of sugar.
i'm a 2% milk girl. half the people i encounter think this is the reason i'm so fat, and the other half, the true Floridians, think i'm crazy and that 2% tastes like water. these are the people who still drink straight-up, good ole' suthun buttermilk. i mean, WOW.
even when i was fucking with drugs i never fucked with caffeine pills. staying awake to monitor the high never topped the priorety of sleeping. now that college is over, i don't so much as drink a Sobe with ginsing or whatever. in fact, i've got backup Tylenol PMs and emergency NyQuil just in case i wake up in the middle of the night. back when i had papers to do, i had a stash of snacks and a few bottles of Bawls hanging about. these days? shit. i could be sleeping *now.*
