What "that's probably not a good idea" food are you mad you can't eat right now?

No fair!!! lol!

I hope you enjoy them, but you are a stronger woman than I was if you can actually toss the buns!

I can honestly say that it has been a VERY long time since some food has called my name and I haven't answered the call. Then, wham....Christmas Eve I was at my daughters party and it happened!! There was a plate of those seven layer bars, you know the ones....graham cracker crust, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, coconut little squares of awesomeness. I REALLY wanted one of those suckers. 

I have to add in here that I really have never liked or craved sweets. BUT, with the RH I didn't want to be up all night poking my finger to make sure my BS was stable. Sigh.....

Back to your regularly scheduled programing.....

Edited because half my post didn't post!!

Gotta watch out for those sneak attacks!!

I'm glad you edited your post because I really wanted to ask you what the food was but thought if you didn't mention it maybe it was too hard for you to talk about, lol!! Good job on resisting temptation cause those things sound awesome!

I miss Arby's roast beef sandwich with cheese and their curly fries. I tried some plain roast beef from there and it made me really sick. For some reason, I still crave it. That, and a bowl of cereal. I miss having a bowl of Raisin Bran Crunch with a banana for breakfast. 

I forgot about cereal!  I miss that, too.  A huge bowl of Honeycomb or Captain Crunch! 

Froot Loops! Yeppers. Cereal would be good. Even healthy cereal!

Big bowls of pasta and Moose Munch for dessert.   Why oh why did I have to get about 20 lbs of Moose Munch for my birthday and now half of it is still sitting downstairs.  I haven't touched it, but I need to throw that stuff out.  I hope Harry & David are in foreclosure for the pounds they put on my butt.

Ohhh, Moose Munch. That stuff is like chocolate covered crack!

EVERYTHING. And especially chocolate cake.

Alright, I'm on carb detox this week so I'm being dramatic. But really, cakes and pies and bread and rolls and ice cream and.... SIGH.

I prefer to say to myself, OF COURSE I can have that. OH YES I CAN! But... I don't want to because I don't like how it makes me feel. It's a mental shift from deprivation (I want it but can't have it) to choice (I could have it, but there's all these great reasons not to). Carb monster gets in when I say "just a little won't hurt." It only takes about 20g of carbs in one meal to spike blood sugar and start creating the pattern of blood sugar fluctuations. And I can dump on just 8-10g of sugar, provided the sugar is from corn syrup or concentrated fruit juices rather than raw fruit.

I say if there's a thin person inside every fat person waiting to get out, there's a fat person inside every newly thin person that is pissed and wants a damned cookie, NOW!
