I'm Afraid of Bread...

I'm afraid to try to eat it. I'm afraid of sliming or throwing up. I'm afraid of pain. I'm afraid it will go down easy and my food addict brain will pounce.

Pasta hurts. Low carb. Whole grain. Regular. One to two bites and it hurts. I suspect bread dull beg the same.

The closest I've come to bread is a low carb tortilla. It takes me 45 minutes to finish it when I make my Breakfast wrap.

I can now add Reduced Fat Triscuits with Laughing Cow cheese to my list of "food bricks".

This may be worse than Pasta and I only ate 2 crackers!!!

I can eat more wheat thins then triscuits... But don't have problems with none of the crackers. I make sure I don't exceed 6 wheat thins though.. And they aren't a slider for me

I tried bread today. Rosemary and olive oil crusty bread, dipping it in broccoli and cheese soup. Yummy but full almost immediately.

I spoke too soon. My stomach is a bit gnarly now.

I do 1 slice is Sara Lee 40 calorie wheat bread, so a half sandwich, usually tuna, egg salad or pb&j. It's very filling, but doesn't always hurt me. Toasted sometimes helps. I can do whole wheat pasta and brown rice, but not often. I usually make a breakfast rice, with bacon and eggs for some extra protein. I have no problem with tortilla chips and salsa, but have to be very careful with a tortilla. Usually do carb smart wheat tortillas and they are small but can only eat 1.

I tried bread again today and it didn't work out. I broke up a small piece into my stew... Almost instant discomfort.

Bread and pasta are a no go for now. It's probably best.

Haven't had bread or pasta since surgery 8/6....too afraid for a whole bunch of reasons LOL

me too. I love the Kashi crackers instead , small, easy to digest. i try to bite a third of a cracker at a time. sometimes i put laughing cow light chipotle cheese spread- very low in calories. serves as a reasonable snack mid day.

Skinny pouty and seductive!!!

Love the name of this thread! I can eat pretty much anything so choose to stay away from bread, rice, Pasta etc. If I want to keep losing at this stage, I have to stick with Proteins.

But my nemesis is cake. Every kind. I desperately want to like it and on occasion - like a birthday - I want to eat it. But every time, my sleeve she say NO after a couple of small mouthfuls...

Now this may be a good thing long term but given all the other crap I could eat but choose not to, why is it that the only thing I would love to eat I can't????
