Balance A/S reduction challenge

After reading Dr Briffa's article here (and a few others on the subject of A/S(artificial sweetners)) I got to thinking[yeah, I know...a dangerous thing for me to do! ] about how much A/S I use. My guess-ti-mation is to much!

So, I'm going to challenge myself to reduce my use of A/S.

I think I will start my cutbacks with my biggest use of A/S: my morning coffee and diet cola in the evening. Now, I cannot tell you how many times I've tried to learn to drink black coffee...blech! Coffee with cream is not an option for me.
So reducing the A/S in my first cuppa *Love * in the morning will be a BIG challenge, but I think I'm ready to break the "addiction" of using so much A/S.
Baby steps, but liberating, none the less.

I've already had my morning coffee, and yes, very A/S'd; but I'm going to limit myself to ONE glass of diet cola this evening instead of my usual 2, sometimes, 3.
This will no doubt, help me boost my water drinking as well!

Anyone wanna join me in "breaking the addiction" to A/S????

OK...
day#1
I was able to decrease the liquid splenda in my coffee this morning without to much pain involved...LOL!
Last night was a little shakey with the diet cola...but I held it to a glass with dinner, and then sipped on a half glass the rest of the evening along with another bottle of water.
So....at this point, I'd say I'm more aware of using A/S, so that's a start I guess.

Feel free to jump in here with me, gang!! It takes a village....

I see I'm talking to myself in here, but I'm determined to stay the course and cut waaaay back on my A/S use.
I've been able to decrease the sweetness of my morning coffee...slowly but surely.
The cf diet coke not so much, but I'm getting better. I make myself drink a bottle of water in between my dinner cola and the refill I usually have. Not earth shattering progress, but I feel at least it's a little progress.

over and out...for now!
