What was I thinking?

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd confess and share with all of you what I did the other night...what was I thinking?? I bought some sugar-free sugar wafers and I've been eating 1 or 2 a night as a treat for a few days now with no adverse reactions. Well, my son, Ethan saw Mommy noshing on a cookie and he wanted one, so I got another cookie, gave him half and I ate the other half. He wanted more, so I got ANOTHER cookie and we split it. Well, to make a long story short 10 minutes later we're still sharing cookies...until they were all gone. In about 10 minutes I felt like my innards were in a vice...and I had my first INTENSE experience dumping. It seemed like those cookies were leaving my body in any way they could (nearest exit) and I was a mess. I looked like I did on my 21st birthday, praying to the porcelain god wishing I was dead, promising I would never do this again if I can just survive this. I'm still recovering and every time I think of those sugar cookies I feel the urge to gag. Not my brightest moment!

Ooooh, doesn't sound like a good night! I'm sorry it was so rough. It must be much harder to limit those goodies when you have children at home ... although I do manage to get into trouble with no such excuse! My obsession right now is "no sugar added" Tropicana popsicles. They're absolutely delicious & obviously a pretty low-sugar/fat/carb treat. Well, I've gone from 1 every night or two to 2-3 a night at different times during the night. I'm so frustrated with myself!! It's binging, flat out, even if it's not with "bad" food. I suppose my problem is the opposite of having kids who want goodies; I live by myself, and I get lonely/bored. Well, last night something didn't settle well, and I started to get the reflux where I thought I was going to be throwing up, and it tasted like popsicle. I'm hoping this will be enough to get me away from my craziness. Hope you're feeling better. I guess you won't be eating cookies for awhile! Take care, Kathy F.

Oh Deb, What an experience. I can feel for you though. I tried Munson's sugar free chocolate thinking well, it's Munson's it must be good. Well it was too good and it really hit my pouch hard. The only chocolate I have found I can tolerate is called Givere Chocolate. It is made for diabetics. It is made with fructose and doesn't contain Malitol the evil laxitive effect ingrediant. You can get it from it's website Givere.com or go to this place in Cheshire Gumdrop Gardens on S Main St. The only 2 things are 1. it is pricey 2. the store has other candy and really cool stuff that we used to have when we were kids. All the old time candies. So once in a while I treat myself and get a sampler pack. They have truffles and peppermint patties that are so so good. Raspberry bombe's. yummmmmm making me crave here. Hope your feeling better by now! Cheryl

Thanks Ladies, I am feeling better and vow never to let myself go wild like that again...it wasn't worth it! BUT I think I'm gonna check out Givere, now and then I'll want a taste of something decadent and if it agrees with me then I don't care what it costs. Thanks for the tip. And now, back to my nap...I'm still trying to recover from the lack of sleep.
