If you want. I'll be doing it again next week (and probably all summer), so I'll still be here!

OK, I had to get that out because I put Stevia in my coffee because I had no cream... just 1% milk and I NEED a sweetener if I have no cream.

NASTY!!!! OMG NASTY!!!

Now I am high on my benadryl because I am allergic to stevia in its raw form.

My major sugar issue I noticed starts with this damned coffee. I need to be sugar free with my coffee.... thank God I drink Bustello!

Have you ever tried Truvía? It's a blend of stevia and erythritol (a natural sugar alcohol). Don't know how it might affect your allergy - but since Truvía is a blend, it might be better.

That's not a good way to start off the morning. A while back I had to skip coffee cause nothing tasted as good as sugar in it to me and it didn't set the day right if I was unhappy with the taste of a simple cup of coffee. I don't know how you feel about Sweet n' Low, I can do that in tea very well but not coffee, but everybody's different.

I wish I had as much willpower as u guys! The day I found out I was pregnant I gave up cigarettes, alcohol, antidepressants, coke and e's all in one go! (I don't mean coca cola) I have never touched any of them again except the very very occasional drink! But sugar brings me to my knees! I can't do it! I think it's my replacement for all the other things!

Did you let your doctor know that you were using alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine and ecstasy during your pre-conception and early pregnancy?

Did you have your baby yet?

What about Splenda?

Two days clean as a whistle.

And not a moment too soon. I weighed myself this morning - I've gained four pounds in the last few months.

Well, I probably have gained that in the last few days with what I've been eating.

Raw stevia (powdered) is like a VERY sweet mint. Its also a member of the ragweed family. :sneeze:Found this out AFTER I bought it.

@ Morningsong and Punkmistress... Truvia has and aftertaste to me and so does all those other artificial sweeteners (Slenda, SweetNLow, Nutrasweet) and I hate that. I could never drink anything diet because of it. Its gross to me. I need a clean finish.

So I use raw sugar to try to be healthier... coffee does my asthma good, but tea does nothing for me and I take tea with no sugar at all.... unless its black tea and the powdered raw Stevia works fine with that weirdly enough.

I have powdered honey I may try... it tastes weird though, I am afraid to put that mess in my coffee.

I may just need to get oily with it and buy half n half.... if it ain't one demon its another I'm telling you.

Has anyone tried powdered honey? Genesia? Any other foodies in the audience? Anyone ? Bueller?

Pretty sure I saw that video already

Oh My God,

laughing out loud , this is an org classic, just love NDRU for these short zingers he can whip out.

Back to the topic.

Whatever comes into the home is eaten. Right now I only have diet soda here so there is some hope, SOME of making it a few days.

I am so much better than I use to be and that fact that I weigh 54 lbs less than I once did proves it.

Yep I have 3 very healthy beautiful kids! This was 9 years ago, and I've never touched any of it again apart from one cigarette I found gross, and very occasional drink. I didn't want to be that kind of mum! I don't get how I had the willpower to go cold turkey on all that and yet I'm a complete sugar junkie!

Broke down and put sugar in my coffee this morning... what was that? One day?

I needed a decent cup of joe this morning... gonna stay away from sweets the rest of the day.

I hope.

Somebody brought lemon cake today.

I can eat anything I want. I am choosing not to have lemon cake right now.

I've been great all week, but I reeeeeeeally want a cookie right now.

I have had a stomach bug for the past 2 days. That has cured me wanting sweets. My coffee tasted so bad this morning that I took 2 sips and poured it out.

I bought a box of pyure stevia sweetener....

I ned to find someone to give it to. It is nasty!

I'm doing okay considering. I need my coffee in the morning, but that's it, and it ain't starbucks. There doing a birthday cake today, after not having one for 3 months That's okay, I've walked away from them before.

I'll join you as soon as i've polished-off the remainder of coffee and walnut cake I made on Sunday.

I eat far too much chocolate and sweets.

and she bakes too...

2 or 3 chocolate bars a day for breakfast usually gets me going

Man, I gotta treat myself with somethin' here. What can I...

Ooh! An iced latte. Non-sweet treat...

I think that dingdong put soy milk in my latte...

I usually have "no sweets" weeks anyways... occasionally I'd break it and eat an ice cream cone. I prefer that over cake.

I like sweets but I'm not an addict.
