nicholaix's Journal, 22 July 2015

So... I gave up coffee and I am not dying my grey hair anymore. I am not entirely certain which has traumatized me more. It has been kind of a shock just HOW grey I am. Also kind of weird that people think I went 'prematurely' grey.
The coffee thing was two fold with cutting down sweeteners(splenda). I have to say it has not made a lick of difference in my weight loss. Several people swore it would make weight loss easier and I would feel better. Not so much. I didn't really use much anyway but I was kind of hoping it would help. Don't stone me but I don't really like the taste of coffee all that much but I do miss the stimulant. Made workouts easier.
The previously mentioned government agencies are playing hardball now. They are going to take my drivers license for failure to comply, even though they admit I CAN'T comply. But those rules are rules. I had to cancel the boys therapy appointments and doctors visits for a couple weeks until I can get this sorted. Can you imagine?

I can imagine...unfortunately our bureaucrats seem to have lost their senses. I am so sorry to hear that you are having to deal with so much and in such unpleasant ways. Will include you in my daily prayers...and please know that I am thinking of you and your little family. I am not brave enough to go gray yet...want to but need to do it when we are in the off season and I don't have to face the public every day. Hairdresser says she can make the transition occur without a lot of nasty "growth" lines. As far as the coffee, good luck. I still like my one cup in the morning "black". You take care....{hugs}.....

I have to have my coffee as I have quite low blood pressure. I do add whipping cream in it and that helps me get to my required % of fat for the day.I use stevia in the raw as sweetener so it's not bad. As for the grey hairs, hey, did you know that actually this year grey hair is in fashion? What happened with the government, I think I have missed some of your journal post. I have to go back and read

Wishing you the best of luck in dealing with the government. I found out I need caffeine to keep hunger at bay. To each their own.

Essentially my ex sued for sole custody so he wouldnt have to pay child support or med bills, won, then abandoned them. I owe 35,000 to my ex for back child support as it was based on HIS income to support his standard of living. When I Do find a job(with no drivers license)they will take 60% of my gross pay right off the top until the debt is paid. It makes no sense.

For all coffee addicts like i was myself :) i stongly suggest to give a try to bulletproof coffee. It's good for you and as i said it before it kicked my habit to drink it all day long, now I'm good just with 1 cup and don't feel the need for more.

Are you a wanted for a crime? What about being in the country illegally? Can't imagine why they'd take your license away for whatever reason. Don't know how you deal with it. My depression would be out of the roof. Sending out positive vibes to you and your kiddies.

Why didn't you sue him the moment he abandoned the kids?

PS: Congrats on a NICE loss!!!!!

Nice drop and a cup of coffee a day won't hurt you if you don't have high blood pressure. I don't think it will help you lose weight faster.

To be honest daybernt I was relieved he was leaving us alone and my money for another huge court battle had run out. I tried to go back to court twice and was told they wouldn't even hear the argument because 'nothing had substantially changed' as far as financial circumstances. I guess I thought eventually he would realize the error of his ways and suck it up as a father.
