Well, Day 3 of trying to get off of Splenda, Equal and Stevia and Sweet 'N Low for good. Day one I started, slowly. Yesterday nothing - I did it. I realize I will use small amounts of fruit juice 1/16 of the flavored tea drinks... I am eating lots of vegetables. (Frozen especially on sale) - and I do have tons of canned things in a pinch. I really think these artificial sweeteners cause stalls now, I have resisted this for years, for me the time is now to do this. I have two packs of Crystal Light and at this point will not go back to it, so will likely give it away. I must take my vitamins especially B complex to help detox and it may be a few weeks or longer to get this stuff out of my system... I'm on my way to doing this...

I never listened for years on here, first people said Splenda is so good, then Stevia. Very small amounts of natural sugar - like honey or juice is what I will add to drinks now, it won't up my carb intake that much...

Thanks Bren and Buffy, this is a tough thing to do, but I live alone and not with ten other people where I'll be tempted with desserts, or pizza, etc. I went for a 1 1/2 mile walk, tomorrow will try to do more. This Friday or weekend I am going shopping for clothes like jeans and short sleeve shirts that will be on clearance everywhere. Bruce is giving me many like new pants as he lost a lot of weight in part due to his diabetes. I told him I would give him at $20 - he can use it for gasoline for his car, I need some regular slacks so may buy a few of those too for the winter. Toto needs a grooming in mid October before winter sets in, I do not want her being a shaggy mess the entire winter. It is tough quitting the artificial sweeteners. This is tougher for me than cigarettes were. I am using flavored teas for now - got some more black tea too - and I bought honey to add to hot tea or hot coffee, but will use it very sparingly. Hope everyone is well...

No diet foods today - no Equal, Splenda, etc. I feel better a bit too. But I really miss the Diet Coke. Anyway, it was 11 p.m. and for the first time since I had Toto she just is too tired to go out, she is getting older so I let her go back to sleep... I will try to go for a longer walk tomorrow, I am thinking of going out for a bite to eat during the day too...

Toto jumped up on me at 12:30 a.m. to go out... so she's still kicking pretty well. She stays under the table under the computer now with me and rests there to be close to me, two months ago or so that started, she stopped going under the other table most of the time... anyway, I am off to get some spirulina tomorrow for my dieting. It is a health food. Next week shoes and clothes shopping - maybe Friday or this weekend - Bruce is giving me many pants so I may just need some shirts and I have many already...
