Coffee: The Discovery

Today, I decided to give coffee a chance. I paid about 50 cents for a small coffee with skim milk and I have to say it gave me exactly what I was looking for: a perk. I know a few coffee devotees, but I never really got what the big deal was until today.

The High:
My food cravings went away
My appetite decreased
I felt positive and upbeat
I was creative and productive
My fears and ambitions that usually keep me down went away
I was more confident
I had more energy

It defiantly stimulated me and now I get it, I'm hooked. Shamefully enough.

The Lows:
Upset stomach (I had too much, will limit myself to one cup a day)
The positive effects did dwindle down, but I felt like the mental boost and positive thoughts were enough to make me push myself past old/lazy habits when the coffee boost wore away.

I hope you'll forgive me for advocating a drug on my blog.

Cheers to coffee! (for now at least)
