Before I started dieting I used the high fat creamers. Loved Italian Sweet Cream. I know its hard but you just have to wean yourself off of them.

Now I use a little fat free hazelnut in my morning coffee. No more than 2 tbl. Drink half, refill with just coffee. Its enough.

Have to ask yourself, how much do you want to eat the other things you need to eat to stay fit? Cream isn't it. Refined sugar, no.

Make the tough decisions, you will reap the benefits later.

I know exactly how you feel. You will never guess what kicked the creamer obsession for me....almond milk! The unsweetened kind even! It's got a creamy texture and is only 35 cals for a friggin cup! Add a couple slendas and your good to go. :drinker:

I have all but completely cut out coffee from my diet, except for my treat on Sunday mornings. (Decaf) I Have found that real vanilla, a small amount of Hazelnut Soy Milk and some Pumpkin Pie Spice tastes amazing and is so worth the very few calories it has. Still much less than a normal "coffee house" style beverage.

I try to buy sugar free creamers (that still have the fat in them). However, add up how much you spend on that, and that might be your motivator to drink less! Last time I went to the store and bought creamer, I realized I was going to be drinking a LOT less coffee! :laugh:

Maybe try the Starbucks bottled Light Mocha frappuccinos- they are only 100 calories! They are expensive though...$6 for 4 of them. But it's way cheaper than going to Starbucks 4 times.

Also: Sugar Free Hershey's syrup, skim milk and/or sugar free DaVinci syrup (caramel, hazelnut and vanilla have sugar free) can be added- They sell huge bottles of DaVinci at Sam's Club :-D

You could try "flavored coffee" where the beans are French Vanilla or Hazelnut or whatever you like, and then use skim milk and Splenda.

Starbucks Via makes caramel, vanilla, mocha, and cinnamon dolce instant coffee. These are about 50 calories per cup from what I remember.

Target also has a store brand "Archer Farms" that makes bottled 100 calorie frappuccino-type things. They are very good! They have pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha right now and a few other flavors.

Hope this helps! I know exactly where you're coming from lol
