Overconsuming Food and Overdosing on Caffeine ...

0 comments

I was caffeine free until 8 PM of January 29, so I could say I had 10 days of being caffeine free. I made a choice to take a pill that contains sugar and caffeine because I was starving and it was what was generously offered to me by Paco.

The full score is that I ate a full meal at 3:30 PM and perhaps due to my blood sugar levels not being regulated properly, I got hungry four hours later (7 PM). Then I got very hungry after five hours (8:30 PM). At the event we attended, the speakers exceeded their time limits (the event was supposed to be from 6 - 8 PM only, but we ended up going home around 9 PM) and there was no break in between. Fortunately, one of the speakers didn't show up so that didn't prolong our agony.

12 AM of Saturday, after getting out of the office, I demolished a buffet and had 8 glasses of coke (yes, that's eight glasses). Having avoided caffeine for 10 days, I became extra-sensitive to it, so I was awake until 7 AM of Saturday.

12 AM of Tuesday found me once again at the same buffet. It was my coworker's treat so I chose to eat. To add gasoline to the fire, I stayed up until 5:30 AM.

I'm not proud of what I've been doing. My only consolation is that I'm able to admit that I know what I did was wrong and it was my choice. I will not stop trying to improve myself though because I'm not a quitter. ;)
