I am SOOOO angry!!

Sorry, I am about to vent here.. but you guys are THE ONLY ones that will undertsand why Im so upset.

I have been on a clean strict induction for 2.5 weeks now and doing great. Yesterday, I was in a huge rush and stopped at Hardee's for an unsweet tea. I was SOOOOO thirsty. The woman gave me my tea, and I added the sweetener.

I started immeadiately gulping down the drink like I just ran a marathon. As I slowed and started to taste the drink, I realized SHE GAVE ME SWEET TEA!!! I live in the south, so I EASILY couldve ingested a ridiculous amount of sugar.. and of course today I am out of ketosis. I am LIVID.

Of course my boyfriend is trying to calm me down, but to me, its like slipping a recoving alcoholic a shot in their drink after 30 days of sobreity. Like you work really hard and avoid temptation and then *poof* back to square 1.

I know I am going to be fine... I am just really irritated. Anyways, vent over, I just needed to let it out somewhere with people who would understand why I am so upset.

Thanks for listening.

Sounds frustrating , I would be mad too. Only thing you can do is start fresh, you will probably see it didn't do much harm in your efforts to lose weight. Just keep up the good work, you've come this far.

That is very frustrating! I'd be upset too. I'm sorry that happened. I know it might take you a time to get back into ketosis, but I don't think you are back to "square one." You didn't give up, give in, or throw in the towel, so mentally you are still in the zone.

I had a similar experience at a chinese restaurant. I ordered the "no starch/sugar/salt/oil" sauce. I took a few bites before i realized that the sauce was thicker than it should be. I asked about it, and they said that I shouldn't worry because they only used "a little" corn starch. Sigh.

Not all restaurants are good with food intolerances and allergies. I know people who declared their peanut allergies and when they had reactions we told, "we only used a little peanut sauce in it....." and diabetics who have been given regular not diet sodas, etc. We have to be careful about carbs, so we have to be careful about where we get any of our food from, because other people won't be as careful as we are. Even more than with allergies and diabetes, lots of people don't get low carb, so won't think its important.
they bad, they lose my business tho.....

Ohh that sucks! I used to work at a restaurant, and we had this HUGE pitcher we would fill up with sugar to sweeten the tea.. so I can understand why you were angry. You will be back in ketosis shortly, if you aren't already.. You're doing so well, hang in there!

Thanks, you guys are the best! If I told anyone else about what happened in my life they would be like .....why would you want to drink unsweet tea to begin with :| , lol gotta love the south. And I am happy to say I am back in ketosis, so yay for that!

Anyways, you guys rock! Thanks for the support!

OMG!! I would be super mad too!! i totally understand your anger, totally valid!
I can tell the difference between diet pepsi & regular pepsi. Because I was a big pepsi girl (reason for all the weight gain) & then when I would have diet pepsi, it just wouldn't taste the same.
So if I ever get fooled for pepsi with my diet pepsi preference, I would be hella mad too!!

But YAY!!!!! for being back on Ketosis!! woohoooo
