I’m not trying to judge or anything because my diet is nowhere near perfect but I think you should really consider looking into the dangers of what diet soda is doing to you. I think if you knew how terrible fake sugar was you would stop drinking it. Aspartame…google it.

Ice cream or frozen yogurt? Both taste equally great to me
Regular coke or diet? Reg for a “coke”, diet for a mixed drink
Sugar or artificial sweetener? Sugar
Butter or fake butter? Butter 100%
Real salad dressing or the light stuff? real
Half and half or fake creamer? Traditional half and half… Fat free cream is an oxymoron
Real sugary gum or artificially sweetened gum? Real

in conclusion i’ve realized that I just minimize my use and maximize the real… Life is too short to be fake!

* Ice cream or frozen yogurt? – I really like Fro Yo – but not if I have to buy it from a grocery store.
* Regular coke or diet? – I’m allergic to aspartame so most artificial sweeteners are out for me.
* Sugar or artificial sweetener? – Sugar is so worth it
* Butter or fake butter? – Believe it or not, I don’t care for the taste of real butter
* Real salad dressing or the light stuff? – I light the real stuff.
* Half and half or fake creamer? – Um. . . skim milk? LOL
* Real sugary gum or artificially sweetened gum? – as for this, you won’t find a gum out there anymore that doesn’t contain aspartame. Even Big Red and Juicy Fruit have the fake stuff. I’ll stick with my Glee Gum I get from Whole Foods and Sun Harvest.

Must agree–sweetened coconut is SO MUCH better than unsweetened. Good idea to mix ‘em.

Love the “worth it” vs. “not worth it” concept. I do this in my head without thinking too much about it. For me milk is a “not worth it” because lower fat milk has just as good a taste to me for fewer calories. For my husband milk is a totally “worth it” food since he grew up drinking whole milk.

-Ice cream or frozen yogurt? worth it-ice cream all the way

-Sugar or artificial sweetener? not worth it- I love my truvia just as much as sugar
-Butter or fake butter? not worth it- I’ll take the fake stuf
-Real salad dressing or the light stuff? I’m a vegetarian who doesn’t eat salad. yea…
-Half and half or fake creamer? Neither, not something I consume
