Addiction

If you look at someone with an addiction and think less of them, shame on you. Because, I guaran-damn-tee-ya that you yourself have an addiction in some form or fashion. It might not be drugs or alcohol or porn or caffeine...but, what about shopping or Facebook or working out? Oh yeah, working out can be an addiction...one I wished I had, but alas...it is not to be.

For many years now, I've been severely addicted to coffee. I preferred it hot, 2 Sweet 'n Lows and creamer, no flavor. The past six months, I've been drinking it with 2 SNLs and liquid hazelnut creamer. It was amazing!
But, the diet I am currently following does not allow me to have creamer, only SNL. So, I've switched to tea. I drink it hot or iced with SNL and I love it. It satiates my caffeine addiction and keeps me from getting the extra sugar and stuff from the creamer. I'm going to try to taper the SNL down and just enjoy the flavor of the teas. I'm drinking several different kinds and they aren't too bad.

The weight has started coming off and I will do an update as to how much tomorrow.
I've been dieting with no cheating for four days now...not too shabby for me. I can usually make it a week. Since I am currently living in the hospital with my son, I feel I can make this work quite well for me. The biggest challenge is all of the junk food they bring in to share with the parents. I'm grateful, but my body isn't.
