Okay, I know I shouldn't be thinking this way. But I am. I focus on the healthy benefits that are reasons I detoxed last week. But I can honestly say that there is an appreciable difference in energy level without coffee. Even with more protein and exercise, I can feel such a huge decline in that "spark" of energy. And I go through that evil self-sabotage of feeling deprived. "Everyone else is able to enjoy coffee, but me" syndrome. Hate to think I'm so dependent upon anything, but hey, then I come into the "how 'bout a little bit" way of thinking. And that's what lead to drinking coffee in my adult years in the first place. The smell of it is everywhere in public places, and seems to be a comfort thing when the weather gets a bit chilly. Now that I've had my little whining tantrum, I'll go make myself some herbal tea and stop thinking this way. Wishing all a wonderful day.
