    I'll be sticking to water for the day! Keep the juice for another time, lol.

    And I will check my food for any added sugars or other sweeteners, and try to keep that in check, as well!
    Fantastic! Let us know if you discover anything interesting in unexpected food sources.

    Ive got this one in the bag! I never use artificial sweeteners...I have a hard time with the after-taste, and I try to avoid eating anything processed.

    Good luck everyone!!!

    I stay away from Artificial Sweeteners... it's real sugar or bust for me... If i want something sweet It's going to be real... just not as much :)

    I love that many of you already are ahead of the game on this one :D
    Hopefully a future challenge will address something that you need to work on in your life!

    I tend to not buy pop anymore and I take my tea milk-less and sugar/sweetener-less so I'll be fine for today :D

    I did read this late but I think, going over everything I ate today, I accomplished this. I wanted a pop but didnt get one!

    I tend to only eat organic/natural stuff so don't tend to use sweeteners. I'll keep a look out though, but it'll have to be my challenge for Weds!

    Sounds wonderful... I have a slight obsession with tea, and I don't use sweetener in it :D What is your favorite kind of tea?

    Fantastic willpower! It's great that your daily foods don't include chemical sweeteners :D

    I have had the soda habit kicked, but every once in a while I will have one. I am not sure what else I eat/drink that has artificial sweetener in it, but I will keep my eyes open for it.

    I'd definitely make it for the rest of the day, I only have fake sugar with my coffee in the morning. I already cut out soda and I don't sugar my tea :)

    Well I had my morning coffee before I read the post but 2 packets of Truvia is all I use of artificial sweeteners every day. So at least thats all I did today. Gave up diet coke 2 months ago so no worries there! Water, coffee, and tea are my drinks of choice.

    Also anyone looking for a tea thats sweet but doesn't have any sweetners in it, try aveda comforting tea! It has licorice and sweet fennel to give it its sweet taste and its amazing! I try to drink it every night!

    I've been doing this for quite awhile after reading "1984"... I used to be a huge diet coke drinker. Now, I can't stand the taste of artifical sweeteners. I know that I can't eat as many sweet things to keep under my calorie goals. But if I do have something that is sweet, I want the real thing!

    Darn, didnt read this til AFTER I opened a can of diet coke (N).
    Will still watch everything else I eat today, though, and try to stay away from the artificial sweeteners.
