I cut the artificial stuff cold turkey and switched to sugar.. then I worked on learning to live off less sugar. But never again will I go back to the chemicals in a packet!healthy ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07314694552580228900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586649855321039859.post-42584419214018942532009-02-17T11:32:00.000-05:002009-02-17T11:32:00.000-05:00I rarely use sweetener anymore.

The amount of brown sugar that I have seen dumped on a bowl of oatmeal... it's enough to send you into a diabetic coma!♥ Dee ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/01560097589196622838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586649855321039859.post-56355747481444279252009-02-12T22:28:00.001-05:002009-02-12T22:28:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.fittingbackinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936508772597439162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586649855321039859.post-28182041708338007712009-02-12T22:28:00.000-05:002009-02-12T22:28:00.000-05:00"straight to the hard stuff" hehe Awww your cat so..."straight to the hard stuff" hehe Awww your cat sounds like my dog when it comes to ANYTHING, water dropping, a sunbeam, you name it!

I drink my coffee and tea just with milk, and always have. I don't really add sugar to anything, except oatmeal (brown sugar...yumm!)<BR/><BR/>I LOVED the wind storms we had in 2007. They knocked down trees in Stanley Park though that were hundreds of years old. <BR/><BR/>I eat these bars called "Genisoy" and they come in a chocolate mint flavour, as well as peanut butter and chocolate fudge and I luurrve them!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760074771325010825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586649855321039859.post-36091320915759120502009-02-12T15:07:00.000-05:002009-02-12T15:07:00.000-05:00I am a splenda and diet coke junkie..

I decided to cut it out completely for a few days, and guess what: no Splenda, no headaches. (Apparently, I'm not the only one who has had this problem with Splenda.) I then moved on to stevia, a natural no-calorie sweetener made from an herb, but it just didn't taste right to me, especially in my coffee (which I prefer to be quite sweet). So I'm back to sugar full force, my first love and a hard habit to break. *sigh*Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086963927782829446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586649855321039859.post-62481838723138686722009-02-12T11:44:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:44:00.000-05:00Oh, cats.

The apartment makes all sorts of noises when it's rainy and windy and she did not like it at all.<BR/><BR/>I've never been a fan of artificial sweetener, but I did cut sugar out of my coffee, etc. recently. I used to have 3 sugars in my Americano, cut it down to 1, then realized that I was barely tasting it anyway, so now I don't need any. So, if you gradually cut down on the amount of sweetener, you'll probably notice that you don't even need it. Or even switch to regular sugar for awhile. Isn't the fake stuff more sweet than the regular?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07448367369371606585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586649855321039859.post-50614508427810441512009-02-12T11:40:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:40:00.000-05:00Girl Guides?
