I want to drink coffee..........again email this discussion to a friend?

Isn't it sad when you want something so much, you crave for something all so suddenly and you realize, "No, I can't." or, "No I mustn't" because it's gonna be bad for you?

Like in my case, I was on my way home last night when I passed by a coffee shop, the aroma of coffee, and mocha, and hot choco filling my nostrils. But then, I could only sigh because my stomach can't tolerate coffee anymore.

I have a stomach ulcer which tends to go on an "attack" when I drink coffee, or chocolate, or colas.

Do you skip on things you wanna eat or drink because your healthor other circumstances prohibit you too?

I do the same thing with coffee. Any kind of sugary coffee usually gives me stomach cramps, too, so I usually opt for a sugar-less coffee or a tea of some sort rather than skipping out entirely. I also do this (thankfully) with junk food when I feel like watching my weight (aka not often). lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Oh, you're trying to lose weight? Wish you all the best.:-)

Well for me, it's not the sugar, it's really the coffee itself. I can't drink iced tea too.:-(

I have to cut out ice cream when my pre-ulcer acts up.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

I also can't eat too much ice cream because I end up having diarrhea.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (14787)   ranked 464 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Normally I can eat all I want, but when my pre-ulcer acts up, the milk is too hard to digest and the stomach ends up making too much acid, hence, makes it hurt worse

so much for drinking milk with an ulcer


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

I can't tolerate milk when my hyperacidity acts up too. You are right about milk getting acidic in there.

I do skip on things I want to eat or drink because of my health or other circumstances that prohibit me.
It does take strong will power.
I focus on the desired end result instead and go for something that is acceptable instead if the craving is strong.
Drinking water is a great way to get past the cravings.
I used to not drink coffee because I was working on cleaning up my immune system.
Caffine is hard on the health.
I know how you feel.
I am also a chocoholic and really need to stay away from everything chocolate as now I am working on lessening my weight.
I learn to acquire a likeness for things I wouldn't be eating as often as I am otherwise.
For example I love rice, pasta ext. I can't eat that right now. Yet I cook for my dog and she gets brown rice, broccoli, carrots and white chicken, three times a day.
I get to eat salad.
How hard is that?
I just stay focused on why I am avoiding the foods that I would rather have.
Also, I frequent a friends place. On the weekend evenings, it isn't unusual for people to stop by for a drink or a beer.
I would like nothing more but to kick back and have a couple of my favorite drinks.
The problem is that I am always driving so I must avoid the alcohol.
No problem. I get over it. I am lucky that I love water.

Just remember how you will feel if you do have that coffee. It wont be long until you are regretting it so just remember that and you wont have such an urge.
Instead focus on what you do like and look forward to having that instead. Detour and stop at your favorite shopping market to pick it up to treat yourself.
Once in awhile is OK.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

I agree. That's why no matter how tempting it may be, I always avoid it. Thanks for the input!:-)

4. myLot reputation of 96/100. crazyoverpurple (2911)   ranked 1,185 out of 5,359 in eating   8 months ago

Yes, I sometimes do. I have trouble sleeping so I really have to stay clear of caffeinated drinks especially when it's almost night time lest I want to be wide awake in the wee hours of the morning. So if like, I'm at the mall anywhere between 6-7 in the evening and I pass by my favorite coffee shop, I literally have to drag myself far away from it as possible. It's tough because I somehow feel I'm depriving myself, that I'm being to harsh and selfish with myself. But, prevention is better than cure. So even if it breaks my heart, I MUST stay away.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

How about decaf? You don't have to torture yourself, you know. lol

Kidding aside, I had to avoid coffee because of my stomach condition. And I get heart palpitations that get quite disturbing too.


myLot reputation of 96/100. crazyoverpurple (2911)   ranked 1,185 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Oh, yes, the palpitations. Makes you feel as though you've ran for miles! It just somehow feels different if it's decaf. rasp


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

I guess it's never coffee without the caffeine, huh?:-D

Oh yes, the palpitations. I feel my heart in my throat.

hi theresaaiza... i just have my third cup for the day! i usually limit my coffee intake to two cups only, as i am an insomniac and it aggravates my sleeping pattern if i take in too much caffeine, (not to much the content i get from chocolate bars).. today, i already comsumed more than my 2 cups daily limit and i just can't control it. you right, its really something we need to do. we have to take control otherwise we will suffer if we still insist and give -in to our cravings.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

There are things we just can't resist, right?

i know your feeling of deprivation but mine doesn't have anything to do with food.

i have the most sensitive epidermis and the most sensitive allery triggers in the world.

my skin breaks out with any minute trace of conditoner. this is even with throroughly rinsing my hair ten times with our bath dipper before i wash my face. too rich shampoos with perfumes start my migraine which can be paralyzing in its worst. coupled with that is i have many, thick hair strands that is wavy that tends to be a little frizzy. sometimes i try hair products designed for my hair since i don't believe i am that sensitive but my skin breaks out and my migraine starts.:(


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

I have that same problem with my hair too. I have it straightened many times already but it doesn't last long as it should.:-(

7. myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2950)   ranked 563 out of 5,359 in eating   8 months ago

Yeah, if its due to health reasons, I would always resist the temptation of eating things that would just make my condition even worse. Well, when I feel a little better, I would try taking those things again and instantly, I'd get sick again like before so, I always try to resist until I am sure that I pretty well and could come back to those things that I really like.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Some food I just have to avoid all my life for my own sake. I do admit of vilating that when I am feelin better. The habit goes on especially if after that one try nothing happens.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2950)   ranked 563 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Yeah, when it seem okay, why not go for the extra mile? lol

Its so hard not to indulge ourselves especially when we know that its good but, we can't have them due to reasons that concerns us very much.. glare


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

That's my problem. I indulge too much and end up sorry. cry


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2950)   ranked 563 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Well, knowing your problem just means that you also know the solution. Its up to you in the end if you would solve the predicament as soon as you can or prolong the process. (-_-")


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Oh I have learned enough. Experience really is a great teacher.

:-)


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2950)   ranked 563 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Indeed... though its odd that others still prefer to experience their own problems than to just learn from those who experienced such problems in the first place.. I guess that necessity to experience it on your own makes it more interesting.. (^_^")

You know what? If you were born in the past, you would have taken the place of Plato as a philosopher! hehe, joke. no offense!:-)


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2950)   ranked 563 out of 5,359 in eating  7 months ago

If I have taken his place, I would also have taken the poison that he was ordered to ingest (>_<")


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  6 months ago

See? You even know that part! I don't know Plato just except for his name!w00t and yeah, don't drink or eat poison. ninja

Haha, right. I was just reminding you to stay clear from anything you might want to ingest when you're depressed..... ninjalol


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2950)   ranked 563 out of 5,359 in eating  6 months ago

When your depressed, you better eat chocolates.. (^^ )

Don't you tempt me! Haha. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2950)   ranked 563 out of 5,359 in eating  5 months ago

Well, that's better then being depressed until you end up considering ending your life. (^_^")

I'm feeling the same way too.. i hate it when i'm deprived of the things i used to enjoy before such as sweets, red meat, etc.. I have got diabetes and obviously, i'm not allowed to eat any kind of sweets and yes, even red meat too(pork, beef, some parts of the chicken).. i'm also not allowed to munch on junk foods, salty foods, eggs among others.. yay! but i guess, that's what life is all about.. we don't get everything we wanted..


myLot reputation of 96/100. modstar (4957)   ranked 65 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

There are things in life that we learn to live with. I guess by now you're already used to it despite your young age. Too young to be deprived of sweets. Anyway, just get well soon! thumbup


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

Just eat healthy gracie.:-) I think grabbing a few bites won't hurt but if youre apprehensive about it, just stick to what's recommended.

yes sometimes i think twice before i consume some thing that can effect my health, because i remember for the family at home, if something happen to me because of my careless, it just burden them. i don't want it happen. Besides it, now the medicine is expensive and it will cost more because of our careless.

I want to eat ampalaya but i can't because nobody here at home, house i mean who can cook good sauteed ampalaya. I'm losing so much iron and i badly need my ampalaya fix. My multivitamins ran out and i can't move my remaining money for now. If only i can eat those iron bars on the gate. The red car here which i never get to ride must be rich in iron.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1552)   ranked 25 out of 5,359 in eating  8 months ago

I think craving for iron gate bars is quite a severe manifestation of something going on inside your body already . I do hope you won't give in to that craving. lol
