I, too, ate way too many 'goodies'. I made some cookies for the family (with Spenda instead of sugar -- they don't know that). The cookies didn't get me -- the chocolate did. My husband went out and bought tons of chocolate 'because we were having company for Christmas Eve', and I lost it -- ate way too much. Boy, did I pay for it -- woke up at 1:00 a.m. with the worst case of heartburn I've ever had -- took 2 Pepcid's and waited an hour before I was able to go back to sleep! I gave away all of the 'goodies' now, but even if I hadn't, I don't think I'd be tempted again after the reaction I had to them!

I'm back on track, now, with not too much damage, and a lesson well-learned -- there are good reasons I chose this WOE, not the least of which is how I feel because of it.
