Poll Time:. Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip

[Kiki]

Step one of eating healthier… two small ish fried eggs cooked in olive oil, not butter, and no mayonnaise or cheese or English muffin or anything. And not burnt. Just salt and pepper. It is… not great. They’re pretty “wet” and I hate wet eggs but…

I’m debating whether to have a cup of tea with them or not. It’s better than the huge Cokes I’ve been having lately but I ALSO want to go on a caffeine fast too as I’ve become VERY addicted to it and get headaches without buuuuuttttt…. I also don’t want a headache this morning so. I’m going to have to deal with it at some point though. I’ve also found my eyes are lot saggier/half closed without it. T

Stop telling yourself you're going to have withdrawals if you don't drink caffeine.
You do more damage by just thinking you will.

Tell yourself you won't and I guarantee you you won't.

Off topic but... what aviary birds do you have?

No worries, I will talk your ear off about aviary birds no matter what the current topic is. Right now I have two budgies and two zebra finches, and I'm planning on four more zebbies as soon as I can find some.

I went cold turkey on gluten, I had withdrawal because gluten contains actual opiates. It wasn't fun but I feel better now. I lost 15 pounds, plus I'm not bloated anymore, and my joints don't hurt like they used to. My skin cleared up like instantly too.

That's definitely a worthy case, I did too back when I suspected gluten was behind some of my issues.

Girl, caffeine withdrawal is physical, not psychological.

Could you please pay attention so you don't burn them!

I was paying attention! They’re not burnt! The oil was just hot haha and actually, they were practically raw compared to my usual eggs usually they were completely brown/solid and crunchy. These were still floppy and wet. Which I actually hated the other side was white still lol

It doesn’t work like that

Gosh I'm jealous! I just developed an egg intolerance, can't eat em. Green tea is a great way to wean off of caffeine. I have one iced one throughout the whole day to relieve the headache.

Oh no!! And yeah I might try green tea! I used to drink it tons actually but then I got on the hard stuff black tea

Does tapering work for caffeine reliance? In general I don't like going cold turkey on anything, or any habit, unless it's truly desperate. Myself, I don't jive well with sudden lifestyle changes; they never last. Every time I've made true changes to my life it's been a process. So, I'd personally look into that for the caffeine as well.

I think it does so I might have to try that! Thanks!

Look it up first just to make sure! I'd hate to accidentally make things worse.

Exactly!! It’s a real thing that’s been around (and studied) a loooooooooooonnnnnggggggg time if it was that simple, I would have already done it
