Dieting ...

Surprised, Gert watched me put 2 teaspoons of sugar into my coffee ...

I thought you were going to cut down on sugar?

No, I replied, I said I was going to cut sugar out of my diet, that's something completely different ... plonker.

great one-liner

PS: It is NOT gout.

Oh Shannon, you really must come with me when I fly home ...

Well Mathieu, Oncle Rufus reads like such a respectable name ...

But I'm scared of sugar substitues ... I've read such bad things, or perhaps I imagined they're bad lol. Dieting hurts ...

LOL.
Really loud.


Say what?
Vgrrrl is right -- go with Splenda (I think) it's aspartame (yes? vgrrl?)--which you already take in if you drink diet coke.
Of course a nice liquor in the coffee kills the need for sugar (ok, and the diet, but still...)

Well w-w, Gert forces me to drink Diet Coke ... sigh, I'll have to go google aspartame now. I was trying not to think about it.

Actually, I was entertaining a red wine diet ... perhaps if I just take liquids for a month...?

(To be read in a whisper: I guess then I risk gout like Mathieu says he doesn't have ... although Oncle Rufus might suggest otherwise) Di dances the giggling jig over Mathieu's outrage.

One of my Uni roommates did studies with aspertame... scary, scary stuff...

I am right there with you! I need to remove sugar from my diet, but I am not a fan of artificial sweetners, yet I drink Diet Coke (the only thing I ever have with sweetners). UGH! If only there was an easier way.

Okay ... it's settled, I'm going for the red wine diet. I'll see how I am after a month :)
