Hey, thanks for your " pre-post " . :-)

I already thought that people won't be writing much today. T-day really

is a big one in the US, right? :-)

Hi ...I wanted to thank you for posting this the other day. It has really helped me! Last spring I gave up coffee and tea because the caffeine was giving me weird heart sensations. The doctor said it was most likely from the caffeine and I gave it up and felt a lot better. Well the last few months I started slowly drinking more and more coffee. And I started having more and more of the heart sensations (it feels like it skips a beat but the doctor says it's actually two really fast beats and then there is a gap because it goes back to its normal rhythm). So the last few days I've stopped drinking coffee again. It's been hard but I keep telling myself "you can have the coffee but it doesn't make your body feel good." It puts the focus on me and my body and that it's my choice rather than just labelling it

"unhealthy." Thanks again!

Maybe it would be helpful if, instead of saying "This food is healthy" or "This food is unhealthy", we try saying, "This food makes my body feel good" or "This food does not make my body feel good."

I've tried decaf before and didn't like it but maybe I'll give it another shot. I like the warmth too...it's kinda a comfort thing for me. But it doesn't really comfort me to get those weird heart things! I find I feel better and even sleep better at night when I don't drink caffeinated stuff.

It's been years since I tried it (long before IE) and I've always been told it's bad for you because of the chemicals they use to remove the caffeine so that may have affected my opinion of it. I'm going to try it again with an open mind! I actually hadn't even thought of decaf as an option until Katcha suggested it yesterday. My mind just went to "can't have coffee" and focused on that!
