    I discovered over 20 years ago that Nutra Sweet gives me a weird headache and now Spenda does the same. I avoid them as much as I can. Sometimes I get the headache, check the food I ate, and sure enough it had one of them. Anything that gives you a headache can't be good for you. I use as little sugar as possible and I love honey.

    I don't believe anyone is saying that Splenda is 100% harmless. Is it a better alternative than regular sugar? For the person that is trying to break a 2 liter a day Mountain Dew habit, I would say it is a better alternative. For someone like myself that rarely drinks soda, has learned to drink her coffee unsweetened, and is not big on sweets, then maybe Splenda really won't make that big of a difference.

    It's all about making better choices. Better choices that are maintainable and will fit into our lifestyles.

    Should any of this give the OP the raging case of butthurt that it seems to? No. I would love to see the OP after she has a few kids, a husband, a full time job and all of the commitments that come along with them. A trip to McD's or the friday night pizza goes a long way in maintaining sanity. I am no good to my family if I am skinny but also a raging lunatic.

    Those suits protect you from the sun but endanger you in case of flatulence. Be afraid.

    "Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, children's ice cream. You know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works." -Dr. Strangelove

    Rather stupid and irresponsible image to post, given the Op has an eating disorder, don't you think?

    No OP, you don't get it. That may stem from your "mental illness". My way worked for me, your way may work for you. To each their own. In the end it won't matter...yes, we will all come to our end. Mine will be filled with Splenda, and bacon, and wine, and without guilt or regret.

    but its just crazy how people dont realize that its bad, but justify that its not as bad as something else there for its acceptable. if your not fully committed why even bother?

    So, basically, if we aren't going to be perfect than we shouldn't try to improve our health?

    That is quite possibly the stupidest logic I've ever heard.

    Thank you, nuff said!

    I can’t tell you how relieved I am to know that my success is not dependent on your opinion! Please worry about your own journey and let others worry about theirs!

    Won't happen, humans like attacking others by nature, long after everyone else has had a jab, like so many vultures trying to tear the last bits of meat off a long decaying carcass.

    Half of your diary is "quick added" calories.

    At least we are being honest about what we are eating.

    (honestly I don't care what you put in your diary, I'm just making a point....glass houses)

    thats actually because almost everything i eat is home made and i cant be bothered to list out every single ingrediant. i eat mutiple meals a day. every 3-4 hours and cant spend all that time logging eerything. i add it up and scan everything else that i can.

    You "can't be bothered" to enter recipes when you are so concerned about nutrition? I've entered all my homemade recipes into MFP so that would know my nutrient levels at the end of the day. And yes, I consume Splenda. I've done the research and made a conscious decision to continue doing so.

    One of them is like 12 and started a thread on Tea fasting, another is deathly thin.

    But you carry on.

    They probably, LIKE YOU, spend too much time worrying about everyone else.

    No-one here has blamed that on your ED at all.... you're the one that keeps doing that.

    Why?? Because this journey is not easy. We can't just expect to wake up one day and never have another bite of all the food we have eaten so carelessly everyday for so many years.

    Why? Because we have to start somewhere. I have fallen off the wagon several times because I get discouraged, but I have to remember also to not give up. Today is a new day.

    Why? Because we don't have the support we need from our family. We come here for support, not ridicule.

    Why? Because it's a learning process. We have to learn what works for us to stick with it for a lifetime, not just while we are losing weight. The only way to learn is to mess up and start again.

    Jesus stood up and said to them, "The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her" John 8:7 Some of the wisest words I have ever heard.

    Most likely....You.

    See, if they voice an opinion contrary to what you believe, I would imagine that you would start in with them like you have with the people here. So they agree with you so as not to deal with your bs.

    Then why the diet coke yesterday in your diary?

    I think any change made to the positive is great and drink my sweet n low tea with great relish. It's much better than the 2 to 3 soft drinks a day I used to drink.

    Amen

    Now admittedly I didn't read the entire 13 pages of this post, but to reply to the original message...who are you to judge? People are trying to find balance in their lives. Not everybody is a clean eating purist.

    What's more...we live in a culture where 'unclean' foods are thrown in our faces from early childhood. Many of us have developed habits over years and years which are incredibly difficult to break. Even something as simple as liking sugar in our coffee. So we want to find a way to manage our waistlines and still enjoy life. How wrong is that?!

    And you started by saying that you assumed everybody here was committed to the same goals. Well, everybody's here on some level because they want to be healthier...but that can vary widely from one person to the next.

    PLEASE...get off your high horse.

    Good call. I feel horribly. You totally put me in my place. FYI-- your calling me stupid and irresponsible has worsened my deep depression, and now I'm going to have a serious complex. Do you feel good about that?

    I'm just going to sit here and eat some popcorn that could kill me...carry on :drinker:

    Oh I want some! Pass the killer popcorn please. Buttered?

    ooooooh butter popcorn??!!! yes please!! :love:

    I mean seriously I get what you're saying really I do - anything ingestible created in a test tube or modified beyond recognition does make you wonder / cause some concern - but honestly, compared to the direction i was headed a few years ago, the occasional ingestion of something considered bad choice is ultimately MY choice.. it's my body, my decision, my money and ultimately MY life....

    Just when the thread was losing steam *facepalm*

    And if you can't see where you are wrong..then there is no helping you until you stop being so rigid with your thinking and understand that you don't know everything and that judging others in such a way that you did is wrong...especially when you aren't perfect either.

    Tolerance goes a long way, as does "walking a mile in another's shoes."

    One last thing - don't look down on the success of others just because they didn't do it "your way."
