I want to start SW again as I have put on 10lbs since quitting group last year after losing 2 stone. I only really started to put the weight on after Christmas. My main prob. has been that ALL my previous treats I had last year either aren't available or no longer appeal. First, Cadbury's Freddos & Dairy Milk choc. which I really don't like anymore. In fact chocolate just doesn't appeal to me at all. Secondly, Nestle's stopped doing their Cappucino KitKats. Then, Symington's changed the formulation of their Dandelion Coffee ruining it by making it too sweet. In their defense, they have held a panel of tasters (including yours truly) but still haven't launched a better version. I switched to Mocha Skinnys which are, I think, 3.5 syns a cup and I have one or two max. a day but this may have added to my overdoing the syns along with ice cream this summer!
Anyway, I just don't know what to try as a syn treat alternative to chocolate or KitKats. I'm not a crisp eater. I just think that it will be easier to stick to SW if I have a treat to look forward to at the end of the day. Anyone got any suggestions or general advice? BTW I love baking (also a weight gainer!) but I will not cook with artificial sweeteners as I have read that there is a possible link to cancer so I'd rather stear clear, thank you.
