Coffee or No Coffee?

I love coffee I have drank coffee since I was Four on the real. We lived in El Salvador until I was five and its very common for kids to drink coffee due to bacteria being in water its better then straight up water. I know crazy fact, but I have been thinking about giving it up. I drink one cup a day and love it. I use way too much sugar in it and when I go to Starbucks I ask for house coffee with six sugars and cream I think that's probably not good for me. I should just get a mocha or something. But I love black coffee doctored up! I grew up in a Latin family so we would have pan dulce and coffee in the morning that's is very common. I also loved waking up and having refried beans,ripe fried plantain, and sour cream, and coffee and pan dulce. (Donut) so I have been doing that routine for twenty- eight years. I have tried to break it but its so ingrained. I love it. I have been able to go with out it one week and then I am back to the same routine pan dulce and coffee as my breakfast. But I want to be more healthy and I am trying to at least have a bowl of cereal in the morning. I am down to three or four sugars and less cream but I still love pan dulce and since I love my routine I have to have it together a little ocd just comes over me I guess! So I am on this kick again we will see how long I can keep this up.

hey, here's some unsolicited advice. don't try to get rid of this obviously loved ritual. just lessen it. instead of having it every day, try to drop it to a couple times a week, or whatever. especially since this is a historic, cultural, beloved food, it would be sad for you to completely dispense with it. just cut back a bit. :-)

hope that wasn't too lecture-y. good luck!
