I haven't had sf candy since February and Easter time has traditionally been when I eat a lot of candy. This is my first time on Atkins at Easter time. I made a conscious decision to try the Hershey's SF peanut butter cups (4) and Judy's caramels (2 squares). After 1 hour I felt like Eddie Murphy in the Nutty Professor movie. My insides felt like I downed a gallon of water in 5 minutes. Sixteen hours later and I am still suffering. I have been taking Bismuth and Gas-X.

I hope it hasn't kick me out of ketosis (I'm afraid to check). Unfortunately, I fully realize that I cannot have these treats and be able to function.

I had the nerve to eat these before going to a party for a close friend that is leaving town. I was miserable at the party. It felt odd watching my stomach expand and contract and I made several trips to the ladies room.
