Is Splenda the devil? For a long time I thought it was and refused to debase my tea with that wretched substance. I figured sugar was more “natural” for some reason and decided against using sugar substitutes. Recently, as I gear up for Core, I noticed that I spend like 7 to 14+ points a week on sugar in my tea - which is a lot! So I have switched so Splenda. I still want to do more research. I hear aspartame (err however it is spelled) has some negative research around it but I am unsure about Splenda. Reader, if you know please share the knowledge.
Completely separate note…
I went to the gym yesterday despite being in a cranky mood (fucking pigeons). When I got home I prepared a nice healthy lunch. I sat down to eat it when suddenly I realized I wasn’t actually hungry. This epiphany evoked both shock and awe for those voices inside my head who were determined to eat for eating’s sake. Hours went by and my lunch sat there in the fridge, waiting to be eaten. Eventually I got up and went for a walk to the pharmacy (to pick up the above Splenda and some other stuff) and when I got home I noticed I was actually hungry. This was like 5 hours later. And so I ate. And it was good.
