I was reviewing this story to see how things were with others and have decided to not tell anyone I am dieting - Unfortunantly I have low self esteme (sp?) - Anyways I would hate to think people are telling me I am looking good just because even though I have not changed like the last time I dieted - So by doing it this way I know if someone tells me I am looking good or if someone asks hey have u lost weight then I will know its honest and sincere

I do have a few questions - I am going to start this tomorrow

I can cut out the soda no problem unfortunantly I have an addiction to caffeine and seriously I have tried before and I go into sweats and throwing up and migraines to the point I literally can not function - Which right now it is not possible for me to do that as I do have my 3 year old at home with me and I can not make myself sick for several days
However I have found by cutting Excedrin in 1/2 that I can take 1/2 a tablet which will have about 30mg of caffeine and that prevents me from getting sick without the soda - Would this be ok til I can ween myself back from the excedrin all together or does caffeine stall the progress of this diet - I just dont want to take in all the extra fats and meats if caffeine will hold me back
