I fell

[joagain]

 I fell off the FTS wagon and landed head first into the crab wontons  at my old favorite Chinese Buffet . 

I do have to say they were veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gooooooooooooooooooooood when I was eating them .

But about a hour later I got bloated ,have acid reflux & feel like I have taken about 3 sleeping pills .

I let my hubby talk me into going there , Because I have not been losing and following the below 20 carbs I was like what the h@@# I am not losing anyway    But what is done is done  . Will not eat anything tonight and FTS tomorrow hopefully with no cravings 

On a positive note I have been doing the Total gym everyday since we got it last Friday .

I used to be fond of crab wontons myself.  I ocassionally treat myself to Chinese Buffet....but I try to make wise choices like baked fish and shrimp and crab.  I pack a takeout tray and make two meals off of it.  Make sure you keep your sugar under 5 grams as well.  You can and will get to your goal.  I have faith in you.  Keep working out on that Total Gym.

Thanks skychant ,I will make it to my goal as you will !

Jo please don't be so hard on yourself..... I can fall on crab wontons too...LOL  Love those things!!  Just consider that a treat and get back on the wagon...  I wonder if those soy wrappers would work for egg rolls and wontons???  I need to order some of those from the Asian market and try them out.  If they would we could have those FTS friendly.    

Just keep on truckin girl.... you'll be ok.  Drink lots of water to flush those sugars and maybe you wont have much for cravings

Hi Jo!

You have described why I will no longer eat at a Chinese restaurant.
Seems like the only thing that might be safe is Egg Drop Soup (as long as there are no noodles).

I agree with Shawn... Don't beat yourself up over it. What's done is done.

Nonetheless, you've learned a lesson.
Next time your hubby presses to go, just remind him that the food will make you SICK!

[joagain]

Thanks guys , I knew I should not have went but the old "" well I am not losing anything anyway so why not " came back and  there I was in head first in the wontons . LOL 

I am not too mad at myself it is what it is I just feel like CRAP !!!!!

 Thanks guys love yall

Hey Jo!  Hang in there girl!  Don't feel bad.  No telling WHAT I would do if somebody turned me loose in a chinese restaurant!    Oh my goodness, I used to go to the chinese buffet and fill my plate with those fried won tons PLUS egg rolls...then I'd go back at least once!  I also love hot & sour soup.  I bet we could at least come up with a low carb recipe for the soup...??   Anyway, we are all in this together.  The cool thing about FTS is that we can re-start any day and be right back on track!   You got this!

Toosweet hold on to your money.I just got a box of product from the asian market to do a review.
Maddysmom ask umpa
Jo I am proud of you for using your total gym!

[joagain]

Just got off of it this morning !!

[KFAITH]

I experience that same feeling of like I took handful of sleeping pills, what is that all about?? Why do carbs do that to us?

[shawn116]

I'm waiting Umpa!!  LOL  I was hoping you got something when you were visiting San Fran    I am so hoping they are good!!    I can see it now...... egg rolls, wontons, crab rangoon.....etc    Everytime I look for the tofu wrappers though they are out of stock    ( that makes me think that they are pretty good)  

Jan I don't think I have ever had hot and sour soup.  That sounds interesting for sure.  I know I do like egg drop though.  Very low carb there  

I think I want  some fried rice for dinner...... with cauliflower rice of course ....LOL

Hi Rosie!

SUGAR IS POISON!... That's what it's all about.
Our bodies react as they should when we eat something that does damage to them.

That sleepy feeling is what happens shortly after eating sugar... It's called a "sugar crash".

[joagain]

I had sugar crash  bad yestersday this is just more proof that it is terrible for our bodies !1

Love ya Tony !

And jan I said head first but it was really face first ! LOL

Hi Jo I hope you start fresh and reset. You will lose the weight again. Keep your head up and stay motivated. Chinese food was seriously my addiction and it was so hard to resist. I remember at one time when I was at my lowest point in life I would eat chinese food ever single day for a whole week. I was so obsessed with it since it was cheap with the $5.25 lunch and dinner specials they had. I no longer step foot into chinese restaurants. They were just one of the many foods that kept my blood sugar up. I stay far away.
