  • My Day without Sweetener *eek*

    Ok, confession time, I haven’t completely weaned myself away from Splenda. And it’s not just Splenda (the brand) I am like some huge big fan over, it’s just a sweetener, but it’s my sweetener of choice that is available pretty much everywhere AND my dad gets batches for free from work for all of us. Yes, so it has been very hard to give up something like that that is so readily available AND free for me. Because I’ve tried Stevia, Z Sweet and Truvea and haven’t minded either of them, but it’s not offered everywhere (*cough* Starbucks *cough*) and I don’t get it for free.

    Anyway, my actual day without sweetener was on Thursday. All of my food was all natural meats/veggies/fruits - that’s just a day in the primal life for me anyway BUT I usually have a couple Splenda with my morning coffee. I opted out of it for that morning. Keep in mind I cannot drink coffee black, as you have seen I always have cream.

    *sigh*

    It tasted so milky without the slight sweetness to it. I know it’s a matter of getting used to, but it just wasn’t that pleasant of an experience as coffee drinking usually is for me. And that ladies and gents was my day without sweetener.
