i AM a carb addict!

Today I got a glimpse of you,yes you,the one I thought I left behind! You just never know when to stop do you?Once you start,you dont seem to have an end.And its carbs that brings you out,isnt it?You can deny it as much as you like,but I saw you!

 

Rusks,good old South African rusks,with nuts and seeds.And before I knew I was earing like I didnt even ever had surgery.Now I see how one can gain back all your weight.You just eat something every 20 minutes.A woman on a nother board posted recently that over the weekend she had eaten almost 100 pieces of chocolate,really truely that many!Rollo and such.I thought she was very melodramatic but not anymore!

 

I had about 4 slices of wurzel bread.(german bread that is a little thicker than a baguette) A large cup of butternut soup.Beef jerky,3 rusks and some chicken. (this is all the food for the day)Its the bread that I should not eat and the worm in my head that started after the first carbs that bugs me.

 

I will not keep doing this to myself.I feel horribly fat just because I ate like a fatty.

 

Back to my proteins.Thank goodness for chicken,meat and fish!

    I was/am a chocholate addict. I used to buy a bag and finish it in one day. I am three weeks post op and still get the urge. i actually bought some one day and it really did not tast like I remember. I ate two or three pc. and thru the bag away. i still think I want some when I walk by it at the store but then I remind myself that I really don't like it that much anymore and keep moving. Good luck....you will get back on track and we will NOT revert to our old habbits.

    This made me laugh- I too have a carb queen lurking deep inside waiting to pop out in a Jekyll and Hyde moment. Hang in there- you are looking AM-AZ-ING!

    i use to be a huge carb queen!! but after eating so many salads and seafood and different veggies during my preop diet, i realized that breads and such dont have nearly as much flavor and actual veggies and meat and such.
