Going 100%....who's with me?

I have been 90% or so for the past month. I want to give up coffee totally (i’ve gotten down to about 1 cup or 2 on a bad day) and the occasional bit of bread. I would love some buddies to venture on this journey with me.

Anyone want to take the challenge with me?

    You can be my inspiration!!!! I’ll need it to get off the coffee that’s for sure. I’ve been hanging onto that last 1-2 cups….but since I’ve just read about acrylamide in brewed coffee, it might be the nail in the coffin for that…no pun intended LOL.

    Oh nycgrrl I’m with you!

    I just made the same decision myself about 3 days ago. I work in a restaurant and I have to make coffees all the time, so it’s hard. Also sometimes we have long shifts and no time to eat and I get really hungry and tired, and a coffee usually perks me up. But I’ve been feeling so bad lately, drinking coffee during the day and then having to have an alcoholic drink or 2 (or more) to relax at night, it’s such a destructive cycle and I think ultimately it destroys my energy.

    After a really big weekend involving way too much alcohol and cooked food, I decided to propose a challenge for myself: no alcohol, no coffee, and only 100% raw food for one month. Putting a time limit like that on it makes me feel like I can do it. After one month I’ll assess how I feel, and whether or not I want to continue.

    I’m really glad you’re at a similar place. It is really nice to be going through this with a community.

    PS. I used to live in NYC for 7 years and I really miss it!
