splenda

I was a Splenda-fanatic. I put it in everything: coffee, yogurt, strawberries, etc. But I decided to give it up before TTC and I have to say I really don't miss it like i thought I would. I put milk in my coffee now (I never did that before) and just rely on fruit to sweeten my yogurt.
I think my taste buds were out of whack because of how sweet that stuff is and now I'm really tasting food again. I also gave up diet sodas altogether in January.

Have any long-time sweetener/diet soda fans recently given them up?

Re: splenda

Yes!! I gave up artificial sweeteners (splenda and diet soda) a year ago. I was actually just thinking about it because I had my last diet coke on the last day of school last year, so it has been exactly one year today. For a while I was using raw sugar to sweeten my coffee, etc. I still use that sometimes, but I have also figured out that some things don't really need to be as sweet as I used to make them.
