Can't a gal have ANY vices?!
GAHHH!

I quit enjoying assorted extra-curricular indulgences when I had my first kiddo (well, technically, I quit when I found out I was pregnant.) Quit over-eating when I was done with pregnancy. Quit smoking before thirty, once I felt that decade breathing down my neck. Now my doctor advises me that I need to quit or cut waaay back on caffeine, because it's likely causing issues with my boobage.

I feel like having a little kid-fit. I can't do ANYTHING fun anymore. God, it's depressing.

:p

2. I think that the caffeine/boobage issue is bunk, frankly...
I've heard that too, and I believe it has been discredited.

Of course, I could be wrong.

I still drink coffee and have zero problems. But I only drink about a 12 oz cup once daily...

YMMV...

:shrug:


It's good to see you around these parts! :hi:

4. Maybe so.
I started drinking a lot of caffeine in the last several years, and since then the *gals* have gotten sore and I have a lot of cystic tissue, according to my doc. I probably drink 6-8 cups a day. Doc strongly suggested I cut back. I hate moderation. :p

Good to see you too, Peggy!

6. Alas, it's true
I had similar boobage issues when I drank three or four cups (big mugs) of strong (French press) coffee a day. I managed to cut back to two cups a day, and my boobies are much happier. Just cut down some and see if it helps--you can do it...think happy boobies. ;)

7. I've heard vitamin E can help with breast cysts
I only drink 2 a day and my gyn says I should cut back!!!!! gimme a break. It's my only vice too.
(6 to 8 cups does sound like a lot though, if you don't mind my saying)

15. I don't mind!
I know it's a lot. I actually had a harder time cutting back on smoking than I did quitting smoking. I don't do well with moderate restraint.

9. I eat old dinosaur food! Human food grade diatomaceous earth...
Seems like the cells get the food they need. After a week it stops tasting so much like chalk!

14. Yeah
But I need an every-day sort of vice. I try to limit drinking my calories to social or special occasions.

20. beer, caffiene, the occasional cigar, shrooms for religious reasons, heroin on my birthday, and the
ever rare murder of a hobo are the last few vices I can have anymore myself

Kidding, I smoke a lot of cigars, but enjoy your caffeine in moderation. To quote Buffett "I'd rather die while I'm living than live when I'm dead"
