Boo Hoo! Going to have to cut the coffee!
I just cannot have coffee, without the sugary creamers. I'm going to try going without. Can't do artificial sweetners of any kind. It either has to be sweet creamers or half and half with regular sugar. I have tried the truvia and I don't like it either. I seriously need to cut out the extra sugar in my diet.
