For sweeteners i'd also look for Sodium Cyclamates (artificial sweetener) or Stevia (natural sweetener). You're best to look at the ingredients and not the brand names... The ingredient in Splenda is Sucralose so you should watch for that as well.

Catblue .. Splenda IS in Europe .. it's just not in The Czech Republic .. where I live.
Sadie .. cyclamates were banned as sweeteners about 30 years ago in England .. I do try to read labels but (a) they're in Czech .. no surprise there .. and (b) the food labelling is hopeless compared to say Britain or the US. It's often printed so small you need a magnifying glass to read it.
Thanks again to all who responded with help and support .. it has given me a lift and helped to strenghten my resolve. xx

Good Tony.. after all that's why we're all here. To support and be supported. It's difficult to stay on track almost anywhere but it sounds like you've got some extra problems.. I wish I had more to offer except to say.. don't give up. You are worth it. Go look at the before and after pictures here. SO many people who went through the same stalls and trials. They didn't give up, they hung it there and look at them. Some aren't even recognizable as the same person.. But almost to a one the before picture is not looking into the camera and is not smiling and the afters are... That to me speaks to the real success stories. It's not about just loosing weight it's about being proud of you. It's about enjoying your life.. It's about health and respect... Don't let a few food labels and some boredom take that from you...

Fight the good fight... live for tomorrow!
