I got to where I couldn't STAND Splenda. Plus knowing how bad it is for you...yeah. Medifast that I was on last year was ALL about it (which is another reason I'm glad I didn't continue with THAT shitfest.) I'm going to use the honey I bought because I don't mind it so bad, and then I might look into Stevia. I've considered it, because I know it's more natural than most sweetners.
Yeah, re: butter substitutes. Real butter I know isn't the worst ever, it's all the fake ones. I used a butter spray for awhile, but really I don't even want/need that anymore. I had corn on the cob the other day with nothing on it, and I could really TASTE the corn. And broccoli (fresh) steamed with no cheese/etc, though next time I might do a little lemon juice just to mix things up.
Olive oil. LOVE IT. I CANNOT and WILL NOT cook in anything but it anymore. I'm using regular now, but I might try a virgin/extra virgin next time. I'm not really sure how to count it in my calories, since when I cook in it, the food doesn't retain all of it, but I can't even do canola/vegetable oil/etc. SO GROSS. My body does NOT like fried stuff, heavy, greasy stuff, and so forth. I will have to keep the peanut oil in mind. :D
It is really easy to slip, agreed. I had a piece of cake last night, but I talked about that in my newest entry, that I'm not going to beat myself up, I'm just going to start training myself to crave GOOD things. Like I bought fresh strawberries to have as a dessert snack. :D And yeah, I mean I may down the road do a splurge day every now and then - have a cheeseburger every once in awhile/etc. I'm not really ready to think about a whole splurge day yet, and there are some things I just don't WANT anymore, like soda, heavy, gross foods, et.
