    Re: 2008 How Long Can You Go? "No Sweet" CHALLENGE

    Hello Ladies!
    Sorry I was MIA. I'm back to
    DAY 7 NO SWEETNERS
    Alexa is right, GET RID OF THAT CHEMICLE SOUP SPLENDA!!!!
    If you're going to have sweetners in the house make sure it's not a chemicle based sweetner. I have Xylitol and Stevia in my household. So much healthier for you. Splenda is nothing but a CHEMICLE SOUP. You might want to read back in the beginiing of this thread where it will tell you exactly how they make Splenda with ALL those chemicles. It will make you think twice about putting it in your mouth.

    Wishing everyone a SWETT FREE DAY!

              Re: 2008 How Long Can You Go? "No Sweet" CHALLENGE

              I am glad for this challenge. Thanks for starting it. I want to stay away from sweets as I'm afraid to get addicted again. And I was a true sugar junkie.
              I'm not one to use artificial sweeteners except for the occasional Starbucks treat. I really just want to enjoy natural healthy foods.
              This is day 8 of induction and no sweeteners.

                Hello Jane and Chiloe,
                Welcome to the challenge! I couldn't be happier to see everyone that has joined in. FANTASTIC! I don't know about you but, the more, the merrier!
                Building a circle of suport is so important when starting any challenge. Be it weightloss, exercise, water, supplements and in this case, Sweetners.
                I can totally relate to you Chiloe. I too, am a sugar addict! Have been for as long as I can remember. It got so bad at one point where it nearly killed me. That's when I found Atkins and put all my time into researching and learning what made my body tick, or NOT!
                Sugar definately doesn't make my body tick. Maybe only as in a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.
                I definately learned how to listen to my own body and know what it doesn't like, and know what it does. It definately likes Atkins, exercise, plenty of water, supplements, and most of all NO SWEETNERS!!!
                I'm going to set my goal at 143 days to just beat my last sweetner fast that I broke last 4th of July.
                It's been an off and on slippery slope with them ever since.
                It's time for me to get serious about my health. THE BATTLE IS ON!
                Thanks again challengers for joining me. We can definately do this. I'm so excited for all of us. We are so much healthier without them. Not only physically but also mentally and emotionally.
                After a while you won't even think about them. Kind of like quiting smoking. I once smoked 20 years ago. I never think about them now. It would be nice to get to that mantality with sweetners. At least for me.
                I like to feed my emotions with sweetners. Yes, i'm a big time emotional eater here. I found that when quiting the sweetners that I feed my emotions with something rather than sweetners. Like exercise, reading, water, fishing, prayer.
                When one door closes, many open.
                I would rather get my sweetness from natural foods. Speghetti squash has never tasted sweeter.
                It's amazing how distinct our taste buds get after not eating sweetners for a while. It's way cool!
                Here's to my day one.
                Chiloe, your leading us on with your eight days. WAY TO GO!!!!!
                LETS DO THIS!!!!
                Sherri
                P.S. If any of you would like to review the information offered here. Post #15 is a great place to start.

                            Hi Sherri! I hope that everything is going well! Just a quick question..
                            Where can I buy Xylitol and Stevia? I guess I went to the wrong store becaue I went to WalMart and I did not find them there.

                            Thanks, Lulu
                            KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD!!
