I would just put regular sugar in my coffee, but the point of the diet is to stop cravings for "bad carbs" like that in phase 1 and I really do get cravings for other sugary things. So, it's not really about the calories and I'm going all-in.

I did some research on different brands of stevia and it came down to Sweet Leaf and NuNatural's NuStevia. I bought a 100 count package of NuStevia because reviewers noted more consistently that it has no aftertaste... We'll see. If it doesn't work out I'll always have the Truvia to fall back on, or maybe just get used to unsweetened coffee.


Last night my husband had the gall to ask me why I have an attitude problem lately. I guess I've been "making faces" when he asks me to do things... Trust me, if every time you got up your husband asked you to get him a beer, and he averaged 18 beers a night, you'd be rolling your eyes, too. I told him I wasn't aware I was making faces, but if I was, it was probably because he was asking too much of me.

I called him out on the incident over the application, but it's not just that. I just can't seem to say or do anything right. He's just been miserable.
