Crushed

Yesterday I got up early and popped open my new bottle of Torani Syrup (Irish Cream) and ran off to the gym w/ my protein shake in hand. I was pretty hyper in the morning, but didn't think much of it.

When I got home that night I went to get some more and I realized. It wasn't SUGAR FREE! It was full 23gm a serving (of which I had like 5) sugar syrup!

I am so sad- not only didn't I dump... but I've been off sugar for over a year and I really didn't want to have any. I know it was an accident but I'm just so sad that it happened at all!.


Grrrr!

You didn't dump THIS TIME. Apparently there was enough other stuff in there to stave off the dumping.

Try to think of it that way.

Ugh, I did the exact same thing, but with dried cherries.  I thought they were just the cherries.  Later I read the label and it had 70g sugar in ONE SERVING of dried cherries.  I can't fathom how they squeezed that much sugar into them!  No dumping.  Didn't intend to test it, but I guess now that I know I just have to be diligent.  :(  But I definitely understand your disappointment.

Thanks ladies for the support- I'm certainly not going to test the waters again. I sure learned my lesson- Read Every Label!!!

I did the same thing with a frappicino....23 grams of sugar - no dumping.

I did dump over some chinese food (mainly chicken) followed by a couple of teaspoons of ice cream.

It is crazy how our bodies work...

Oh right, I remember when you did that! So much suckage!~

Yeah I've dumped before...I will never have a Combo Pretzel again, but I'm not going to count on it happening when I need it...just willpower now.

I think we have all been there and done that... just about 6 weeks out I ate a few bites...(well maybe more than a few)..of my husbands frozen yogurt.. I asked him how many calories was in it.. he said 1/2c was only 100 calories.. so I think I ate about 2oz.. well anyway I looked later and It has 23 g sugar in 1/2cup.. so I had almost 12g.. I have been keeping my sugars under 5g and was very disappointed in myself for not checking the label first.. I did not dump, but as Patti said "that time".. I will not tempt fate and ever do that again.. I have dumped in the past and that was on sugar substitute.. I never want to go through that again.. so I will just use my will power.. yeah right .. my determination.. ok that sounds better.. to not ever do that again.. I do not want to introduce sugars more than 5 grams ever..

Do not be so hard on your self.. I bet most of us on here have slipped up with sugars or will at some time.. Accidents happen.. We just have to all have the diligence to check labels and avoid possible dumping.. if you don't dump one time you can eat the same thing and dump on it the second time or even the third if you pu**** our bodies are strange creatures and react different not only from each other but from our own norms too..

Glad you caught the mistake and didn't do that again and possibly have dumping. . or God Forbid weight gain too..

huggs..

You're so right...as usual!

I do tend to be very hard on myself, but I have much more forgiving as of late. I am working on not punishing myself and maintaining a positive "can do" attitude even when I have a "fail" moment. It's not failing if you get back up right?

Thanks for the support!
