Why is it that people think that “sugar free” is a good thing? You’re just replacing sugar with an artificial sweetener. Isn’t natural better?
You obviously know where I stand on this issue.

The Sell Out
This Is Me
- Big Girl
- I think of myself as though I'm a pretty typical hipster kinda gal. I feel like I'm younger than I am and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up. For now, I'm working part-time "for the man," but more importantly, I'm a mom to a daughter, The Little Miss (TLM) and a wife to The Husband. We live in an area of the country where being anything bigger than a size 6 is considered unacceptably large and in a town where movie stars live. I've always been the Big Girl. Growing up it was because I was taller and "big boned." Now I'm the Big Girl because I'm fat. At one time I loved being the Big Girl but now, not so much. This blog is my way trying to be a part of a community that can help each other through our struggles to be who we really are. For me, it's still being a Big Girl just not of the fat variety.

I am having this argument with myself now... to treat the postional vertigo I have.. otherwise known as non symtamatic migraines ( WHO KNEW? ) they want me to give up Nutrisweet, caffiene and chocolate.. EEEEHHHGGG wrong answer.. I am not giving up chocolate .. and I will cut back on diet sodas.. I am down to 1 or 2 a day... and I can go with out caffeine for for the most part.. I am having a time though.. having to give up my diet sunkist.. so I am looking for a safer replacement.. I can give up a good bit.. and I agree its better to eat the sugar than the fake stuff.. but then I go back and forth with this.. I dunno.. you are theoretically right though
I agree...but then, I've never sweetened my coffee or tea, so it's not like I had to decide which to use. And I don't drink sodas, etc. So when I do have something sweet, which isn't very often, it's the real thing!
I agree with you too! I will not allow artificial sweeteners into my body and I use sugar only very occasionally (like when I have dessert).
Sugar's the real deal for me.
I don't use the fake stuff, never have and especially when I saw the medical side effects it can have.
this post only reinforced my hatred for the stuff...

My thoughts have always been... if I'm going to die because of what i eat... i'd rather it be that I ate REAL food, REAL sugar than artificial... Mind you... since I started doing research into the products I use at home so that i could cut artifial stuff out of what we use... on my budget it's almost impossible. I can't afford 100% organic 100% artifial free. ohhh the agony. But i still cut out what I can where I can. And besides... oh so sweet sugar tastes 300x better than the fake stuff... :)
im torn on this issue. I dont use splenda/sweet and low etc in the house, in cooking at all. But I drink Sugar free cola simply because its calorie free....
Just this week i stopped using sweetner and sugar :) So far so good.
I totally agree with you. I once was 'fooled" by the artificial sweetener trap. It just gave me a false sense of how sweet was sweet. If that makes sense.
YES YES ABSOLUTELY YES.
The real thing is always better.
