I don't know what i was thinking.......help!!

[ozzyfn1]

Hello All! I am on day 22 of Extended induction, and today I had a major brain fart. A classmate of mine had Sugar free russell stover chocolates. I got so excited cause I thought "Hey, no sugar. I can eat those." It wasn't until after I had three of them, that I realized "Oh S*&!, I forgot about the carbs!! DUH!

I hadn't eaten dinner yet, so my carb intake for the day was at 11; the chocolates were 23 carbs (OUCH!!) So, I didnt go over too much.

I am wondering (based on your experiences) what I should expect? Do you think I am gonna put on weight? Do I need to do anything different or just continue as if nothing happened?

Thanks for all the help.

Eat some dinner. You need some real food.
Those are sweetened with sugar alchols and you can deduct sugar alchols from the carb count (maybe all maybe half - we are not quite sure)
But of course chocolate is not on the induction list so it is not a product you should have
I would never be able to eat three of them. They give me gas and stomach ache. and things worse than that.

But just continue - it was not really that bad (just done;t do it again)

Hello, 2big4mysize. The day after the brain fart, I noticed I felt really sluggish, and just really BLAH!!!!! It was a definite change from the way I had been feeling. In a way I am kind of glad this happened. If I felt this way just with 18 extra carbs, then I wonder how I would feel if I give in to my cravings for ice cream and chocolate. This made me stop and think!
