Willpower?
I gave up coffee for a week. It's not that I drink a lot of coffee, but I drink it every day, and I definitely feel dependent on it. Anyway, I successfully did it, and I didn't enjoy it, and I'm looking forward to resuming the habit on Monday. I'm going to try to not drink coffee every day, though. You know. Avoid the dependency.
This proves that I don't totally lack willpower, though, right? If I can give up coffee for a week, why not, oh, I don't know, excessive calories?
Yesterday I ate a giant burrito, and it wasn't that good, and it was more food than I needed, but I ate the whole thing anyway. And then I felt awful, both in my tummy and emotionally. That was stupid. But, it was also a slap in the face. I've been half-assing this for too long. I need to be accountable. I can't wing it.
So, I'm back to counting calories. No more cheating. No more excuses. It's just food, right? I just have to eat better, and less of it. It can't be that hard. At least I'll have coffee.

You could always change off with tea to help break it?

Tea doesn't really do anything for me. I like it as an afternoon or evening drink on cold days, but it's definitely no coffee replacement! When I don't have coffee, I sometimes make a fruit and yogurt smoothie, which is still no replacement, but it's pretty good in its own right (and, unlike coffee, has good nutritional value.)

Giving up coffee is TOUGH. I get bad headaches if I don't drink it at a certain time. A whole week would drive me insane. THAT's willpower, food has nothing on you!

I love coffee! I think I enjoy the routine of making it as much as I enjoy drinking it. I do know that I get caffeine withdrawal headaches when I skip it though. But, in the grand scheme of things, it is an addiction that I am willing to tolerate. Thank goodness it is low in calories!
