I bought myself a mister coffee latte machine and make myself one here and there..I do use the artificial flavorings, but I"m sure you could add your own vanilla extract, etc. Just a thought...for me I hate say it but a 100 calorie drink.

Consider resolving at some point, when you're really, really ready, giving up eating snacks alone on one S day a week. If you're husband is not awake and present, you're alone. But don't do it just to try it. Wait until it feels like "I can do this and it's a really good idea."
