I’m Addicted!

Boy do I suck at this blog business. One blog a month seems to be it for me. Anyway, this week I decided to kick a habit. A not-so-sweet habit. For a few years I’ve been using Splenda in my coffee and in my cottage cheese and fruit, and I recently decided that I didn’t want to consume anything fake anymore (most of the time anyway). So no more Splenda for me. So far it’s been tough. Since I don’t use sugar, nor will I use artificial sweeteners now, that leaves me with Stevia. My god this is nasty stuff. I will continue to use it for another few weeks and hope to just get used to the taste. Normally I look forward to my Jose’s Vanilla Bean coffee from Costco each morning, but the last couple days I’ve been sort of afraid of my coffee. I can’t find the language to describe Stevia’s odd taste, but it just isn’t good. Why do I continue to drink coffee? Well, because I’m addicted to it. If I don’t get my fix, I will be irritable, I’ll get wicked headaches, and I’ll become a monster of a person. Seriously. I have a problem. One day I’d like to kick the coffee habit, but I’m not ready yet. One thing at a time!
