I'm sitting at the desk eating this chicken salad I got from the deli, just a few bites and then got distracted while I checked the boards and my e-mail. All of a sudden I start to feel a little strange, a little...hyper. I feel my heartbeat pick up, I feel a little warm, almost as if I'm getting a...SUGAR RUSH?? NO WAY!!

I check the container, and the label says DEXTROSE!! In chicken salad? WHY???? At least this deli is good enough to put an ingredient label--which I thought I read carefully but who was looking for dextrose in chicken salad?

I have been feeling a little frustrated because I haven't lost weight for three weeks, and I have been really really good with my food choices. Now this!

I have no idea how much sugar I ate so no clue how to count it. I just know that was a sugar spike. The only other time I have felt this way was two weeks ago when I had some meat at a catered lunch that was in gravy. I scraped off all the gravy and just had a small piece, but after eating it, I felt exactly the same way I do now.

I know it's no big deal, but I'm just so mad that even simple chicken salad isn't safe.
