thanks for posting. It was a lot to read--I skimmed

I drink diet drinks...will definitely be trying to cut them out! plus I hate when looking for yogurt, nearly all has some kind of splenda or some other aspartame sweetener--YUCK! I cannot stand that flavour in yogurt.

I'm thinking of going cold turkey at the start of next month--no soda, no artificial sweeteners. Just water and brewed tea. If anything a bit of plain old sugar (I'm interested in that Stevia--have to see if its available where I am. I heard Whoopi talk about it this week on the View--yes I occasionally watch that show! Hot topics are my vice!)

Thanks!
