moondove's Journal, 28 May 2011

I had an embarrasing moment today... There I was cleaning up in the garage today. Flattening cardboard recyclables, and low and behold I notice an empty soda 12 pk box that says 'Barq's Rootbeer'. Hey... my jaw hits the floor and I realize that awhile ago I drank a total of 6 cans out of that carton thinking it was 'Barq's Diet Rootbeer. The carton and the cans between the diet and the regular rootbeer look exactly the same. Now, I finally have figured out why I ended up in a stall and slow weight loss pattern awhile ago. (My norm was to pop the can, pour over an icy glass and toss the can in the recycle bin.)

What do I get out of this experience??? Well, now I know why my weight slowed/stalled. I now have more confidence in myself that I was doing things right all along (except for accidentally drinking regular soda). And, now I can move forward and hopefully keep on loosing those unwanted lbs little by little til I get to my goal and then keep them gone forever...

@Wicked Step Monster: It did some damage. But at least I know what caused it. I've learned to 'Read the Labels'! LOL!

Hey Cheryl, that's GREAT news! Really!!! Because when you were struggling before - it's sooooo darn discouraging - and now you KNOW you can go back and be a detective... and there IS an answer there somewhere!!! It makes you feel justified that at least you weren't losing your mind, or your body isn't the 'weirdest one in the whole universe' or anything like that! It was just a mistake... and now... you're moving on! Love it!!!

I'm so glad you figured this out. It was important for you to know.

Oh, Cheryl, believe it or not, I have done the same thing, but luckily I caught it after the first one. My poison is A&W rootbeer, and it is hard to tell the difference just by tasting, since it has such a strong vanilla taste to it. Glad you figured out what happened and that you now know that it wasn't the WOE but an oversight. YAY!!!!! Have an awesome Sunday!

To All My FS Pals that responded to my post: You really can't tell the difference! The word "Diet" is disguised... And, I love Barq's Diet Rootbeer because you can't tell that it taste like diet. Hahahahahahaa!!! It's funny to have gone through this, but not... Because during the intermittent days that I drank it, I felt bloated, shaky, and bad headache, just plain YUCKY... The worst part passed that is I wasnt' loosing an oz. My body was definately having an all out internal war (fat vs carbs). Now... I know what it feels like when hidden sugars sneaks pass you lips into your body. I haven't had those side effects since. Atkins loves me once again!!! :)
