Mistake with coke..??

[Tracy]

Hi there, tonight at dinner my son mistakenly gave me full Coke rather then the caffenine free light stuff in the fridge for me and i didn't realise so i drank almost the entire glass, thankfully it was only a small one but i am worried about the sugar content......... and how much damage i have done........ I have only been on the program 6 days.....

Can't reverse it so don't stress it. I'm sure it'll have some impact but seeing it's your first week it shouldn't be too bad. I remember Asy doing a similar think with a can of Sprite I think. It didn't do too much damage if I remember correctly.

If there is anything to learn from this, it's read the label on the can before drinking.

Also, I'd throw in a chromium asap, and you should be fine. Of if you do light exercise, go for a walk or so.

Since you have been on program only a week you may not even notice the difference. Like Baloo said no sense in sweatin it. Not like you did it on purpose. When I had a not on purpose deviation I drank a extra liter of water to try and flush the system. No idea if it worked but made me feel better thinking it did. Didn't gain after so must have done something.

I had almost the same problem in my programme.

I had TWO deviations through my programme. Neither of them intentional. Both accidental. (So I don't count them as

The second one was when I was in the middle of my refeed. I was sitting late one night talking to my Brother, who was visiting, and we were drinking lemonade.
I'd bought Sunkist Light for myself and Sunkist regular for the kids (yeah, I know better now, they get Creaming Soda, coz I don't drink that, or anything like it!).
I sat down and drank half a litre (roughly) which finished off the bottle. Threw the bottle out, and went to bed.
In the morning, my daughter was yelling that her brother drank all the lemonade. I had to calm her down and explain that he'd not even got out of BED yet, so I wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to have drank it whilst sleeping. She said "but it's in the bin, SOMEONE drank it".

That's when it dawned on me...

Andrew just came over and gave me a hug, which is a good thing, since I cried and cried...

Still, as I have said MANY times... Draw a line under it. You can't un-drink it. You didn't do it on purpose. Start again tomorrow as a new day and move forward.

And Pudge has it right... Drink LOTS of water, try to flush it out of your system.

hope that helps.

Oh Asy.. your reply really touched me.. I actually got tears..

Tracy.. I think everyone else has said it all. You can't undo it.. dont let this get to you. I think in a way being the first week, it's possibly the best time for something like this to happen (not that there is ever a good time, but I hope you get me).. lots of water & it should flush right out.. You'll have such an awesome result in your first month.. hang in there

Thank you all so much for your encouragement I needed it I felt that I had undone everything that I had done over the 6 days of my first week but I now have moved on. I am looking forward to continuing in the same fashion that I have started. At least I am over the headaches...........
