Help .. I think I accidentally...

[Sweets]

Hello,

I think I may have accidentally eaten something I shouldn't have!!! I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich from Wendy's no bun. When I got back to my office it had the mustard sauce on it and I didn't realize it came with a sauce.. I thought it would have mayo. Now I wiped off all that I could. The nutrition counter at the Wendy's web site said 5 carbs with the sauce... so I'm I ok? Or did I cheat and have to start all over!!!!! I am feeling horrible thinking I ingested sugar!!!!

Re: Help .. I think I accidentally...

you don't have to start all over, you may have been "dosed" with some sugar, could be worse, go right back to the induction menu, exercise, turn this positive, and make sure you exercise today. (Happens more than you think, and sometimes I don't know it happened till its too late).

I have done the same thing. I would think your gonna be ok. Mustard is allowed anyways and if it was only 5 carbs there could not have been a whole lot of sugar you injested since you got as much of it off as you could. I would think it would be a trace amount.

I hate it when restaurants put that stuff on your food and you dont expect it.

Good luck

It could be a lot worse so don't worry about it....these things happen. I remember one time I bought coke (this is a few years ago when I first did Atkins and still drank soda) and drank the whole bottle (about a litre) throughout the day before I realized it was not diet. I was so mad!

Ditto what the others have said. The best thing to do is keep going, drink lots of water and learn as you go. This is a learning process...you aren't going to have all the answers the day you start this program...the important thing is to do your homework, learn and improve your WOE, exercising and knowledge of the program. Great job in making the best choice and wiping the sauce off before you ate.
