dumb margo trick-or beware mc d's latte

so we go to mc d's to meet a freecycler last nite and went in for supper-i know-not a very wls friendly place but it's cheap..... the young lady at the counter was so excited! they were giving away free latte's ( a $2.30 value) for sampling--i insisted mine had to be sf--and it was....almost half way thru i realized- stupid girl (me i mean!!!) the creamer is like a gazillion grams of high fructose corn syrup--so even tho the darned thing was sf--you guessed it--i dumped...oh man it's hard to walk thru hobby lobby when you feel wooozy......then i had to go to krogers and oh man.....
i slept it off in the car on the way home from findlay ( i normally do NOT let michael drive)

so-ok-you are asking why i am making a whole post about this--it's not for me to get the attention--tho it maybe made ya look! it's more to say don't get complacent thinking sf is safe--if you dump--watch out for hidden factors---

i knew better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 BEEN  THERE    .....  DONE  THAT......  shesshh       I did it with a sample of.... whatever it was from Costco.....   Millie    

Boy,do I understand!! I had a suspicious coffee at Starbucks when I met Jan S.
Thankfully, it only took 3 sips for me to know it "didn't taste right".
Jan encouraged me to tra****and I am glad.
"Let the WLS buyer be Extra AWARE"
Glad to know you survived.
Hugs!!

Yikes Margo,

Thanks for the warning - really.  I'm sorry you had that experience.  I'm glad you hadn't paid money for the experience to make it even worse.  Hope you're much better today.

Hugs,

Kathi

WOW! Not a good way to spend the evening ...

I love McD for their grilled chicken patty.

Sneeks up on you doesn't it. When they first came out I thought yippee, but also being McD's I Looked up the calorie etc infor, over 400 calories for one of those suckers. I have a favorite drive through coffee place all last year I had douple shot mocha Sf , skinny ( thats FF milk)  smoothy. they were lucious. One day my favorite gal wasn't busy so I asked her what the calories in the SF powder she used in them. the drink ended up being over 400 calories!! I was drinking 2 or 3 a week. Sf- skinny my A$$. I don't dump ( saddly ) on sugar so we really have to be careful. Now I drink just Sf/ skinny cappacinos.

I always order mine sf nf vanilla latte and they either have given me the wroing thing or something but the last 2 I dumped on so I have sworn off of them for good.

It's one of the reasons I get my coffee black with SF flavors. No calories in there and no chance of getting anything else. They keep asking me at Starbucks if I want these fancy things and I keep saying no, I don't drink my calories (other than my AchievOnes, which have protein, so they're OK, and my two beers a week).

Now, that said, I did have a Starbucks SF frappuccino light a couple of times and it was good, but I didn't have the whipped cream, so it held down the calories. I also had a SF, FF white chocolate mocha at a little coffee house in Hudsonville and it was wonderful ... but I watched them make it so I knew what they put it in. It was a small, so it was something for a special treat. Yummy, by the way, but not something I'm going to have every day.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, because I sure like my Ben & Jerry's waffle cone ice cream and sometimes I eat way too much of that and boy, does that make me miserable ... so I know how you feel, Margo. But you sure weren't expecting it from the latte, I know.
