I cheated, I ate a SF Peanut Butter Cup

[carbsgottagotogetmefit]

So today I was doing Vacation Bible School and the kids had homemade baked treats ...yum...I kept on saying no I don't want those..and then I go into the church kitchen and low and behold Dunkin Donuts..boxes and boxes...people are urging me to have a doughnut..no again, I simply state I'm on Atkins...well later at the groccery store I just happened to walk buy the candy section (okay I purposley went there to drool) and ended up leaving with a russel stovers peanut butter cup and oh my gosh...it was like heaven but now about an hour and a half later...I feel soo yucky...I know I'm suppose to stick to the food lists but can this have such a negative effect and so quickly?? I'm not planning on doing that again for a long time... will this halt my weight loss too bad? I am going to really really pump the water (I drink at least 10 glasses a day) but maybe I'll but it up to 15 or 20? I just bought the Dr. Atkins (2002) book off e-bay so I can really be informed...have been trying to pick up things here and there but really need the book!!

Try keeping induction-friendly snacks on-hand so these things don't happen. Also, Russel Stover makes low carb candies (although not recommended for 14 day induction).

I always remind myself when I'm staring at goodies that the only person I'll be cheating is myself. Keep that in mind- you're doing this for you - why do that to yourself?

Your reaction is very typical with SF candy. Expect the punishment to last a good part of the day and don't stray too far from the bathroom. Those don't tempt me anymore because I have the same reaction and it's horrible. Definately keep up with the water. I don't think it should stall you and if it does it will be very temporary. I hope you feel better soon!!!!

These actually were the Russel Stovers Sugar Free peanut butter cups... I figuerd if I cheated with these then at least it was better then the regular ones...but I'm not doing it again, what's the point if it feels good for one second but then you feel like crud for eating them in the first place!!!

Exactly! I've yet to meet a sugar alcohol that was nice to me. Also candy just doesn't fill me up like the acceptable foods.
