Worst fears realized!

Well sadly I think I have discovered my issue. Black coffee (and possibly sake??). I had a delicious skinny vanilla latte at Starbucks on Friday with no issues. I even had extra espresso. Yesterday morning I had a little bit of coffee with some coffee cake. This morning to get me ready for the day I had my coffee in my to go cup and have been drinking it all morning. I had breakfast at 6:30am and didn't start my coffee until my commute at around 7:30. Sitting at my desk I now realize I'm having my typical breathing issues. Nasal passages feel like they're closing up, and slightly labored breathing. Ugh. My favorite drink is my poison.

I think alcohol may also be on this list depending on its forms. I had hibachi recently which and as we all know, "more sake, more happy." I didn't drink any sake on its own, but it was in the food. Having wine cooked off is okay, but sake I think is another story. After eatin my breathing was again interrupted with the usual symptoms. I'll have to see what links there are here. 

At least the diet was not at a loss. I lost the few holiday pounds and have found some possible aversions I have to food. Definitely looking like some positives came out.

Also another pro, I no longer have the strong sugar addiction. Although I still want it, I have enough control to say no and ignore it. Stronger willpower is also a serious plus!
