Just googled 'sugar free angel food cake recipe' and got the Splenda site top of the screen.  They have a recipe for "Heavenly Angel Food Cake".  Hope that helps.

I hope you and your cats are doing okay.  Just wanted to let you know that I have two cats that basically went through the same thing.  When the younger cat turned about 2-3 years old, she wanted to be boss, I guess.  My older cat is very shy and only wanted to hide from her but she wouldn't let him and ,need I say, there was a lot of fur flying!   After a vet visit, which showed they were both healthy and fine, I just let them figure it out on their own.  I love both my cats very much and didn't want to give up on them, so I just dealt with the cat fights for about a year!  Now they are fine, not best friends or anything but they tolerate each other without fighting.  They eat and sleep in the same room and sometimes sit next to each other and that's all I can ask for.  Just give your cats lots of time and love and I'm sure they will be fine.   

Thanks for the feedback.  Will I first gain more weight with this increase of calories, and if I do , how long before I start seeing a difference on the scale?  I'm all for eating more if that's what my body needs, I'm just afraid of overdoing it and not knowing if that's what I'm doing.  Other than the exercise I mentioned above, I'm really not a very active person.  I like to read, do puzzles, sew, work or play on the computer and such, and shop, but that's about it.  Just a ballpark figure of how long to not worry about the scale would be good.  I will keep an eye on my tape measure though!

Congrats to you too, bobev, and to everyone that has changed their life by eating healthier and exercising.  It not only helps you, but sends out a positive message to those around you.   Young people, especially, will see that it's never too late to change for the better.  And I have made this a permanent lifestyle change.  My cholesterol went down and I'm more toned, and have more energy than before.  Even my doctor told me not to change a thing, she couldn't believe I was turning 50!  I just want everyone to know it's possible at any age.  Don't give up or you will never find out how healthy you can be. 

Since you only got 2 hugs so far, I thought I'd give you another one.  I know how you feel.  Don't feel guilty when you have a bad day.  Just remember this is not a time limit thing, this is the rest of your life!  You want to be healthy and happy forever not just one day or one week or even one month.  You just look at the one day as "that's life, you only live once" and you get back to your healthy eating and exercising.  Look at how far you've come and be proud of yourself.  Everybody has a "what the heck" kind of day every now and then.  I just had one this past weekend.  I ate a lot more than usual, drank a lot more than usual and even had fattening desserts, boy was it fun!  But I'm fine and I'm back to my usual routine.  If I eat too much one day, I eat a little less the next day, just like zig zagging my calories.  It usually all works out just fine.  Good luck and be happy with your self.

I popped it just before I left the house and it was just fine.  I was afraid it would be soggy but it wasn't.  I did put it in an extra large bag instead of a small one so there was plenty of room for the steam and so it didn't get squished.  Also, my drive to the movie theater wasn't that far.  I really enjoyed it, because last time I went with my family I didn't bring anything and just had a bottle of water, (I can't have caffeine), and the smell of the buttered popcorn was driving me crazy.
