what carb is tormenting you?

I have managed to avoid completely:  rice, sweet breads (donuts, etc.), cookies, and cakes
I can eat a little potato and leave the rest alone
crackers, chips, cereal and the like (even the soy ones or whole wheat ones) give me GAS so I don't really crave them.
I crave dark chocolate and if it is around I am going to eat it and I can't stop buying it.  I seem to have a little more control over the darkest chocolate (the expensive stuff) than Hershey's dark.  But still.  I have to STOP buying it.

That's the good thing about being snowed in:  I am out of chocolate.  The bad thing about being snowed in:  I am out of bacon.

Fresh warm sourdough bread is my temptress. I have to pass by it in my market and oh that aroma! I sometimes have to buy it for my sons lunches. So far I have only succumbed to one slice with butter. The happy Truth is that I threw away part of it. The good? thing is that it didn't seem to bother my stomach.

Since I just posted about my desire to drop a few and having a hard time doing it....here are my issues. Cookie dough. It haunts me the way the potatoes haunt you, Haley. My GAWD how I miss just peeling back the wrapper and eating a tube of the stuff like it was a banana. Mmmmmm. If I did that now I'd be bent over in horrific pain. I KNOW I could do it, it would be the end result that would be the end of me.

I also miss,

Garlic toast, rolls, bread piled with butter
Crackers like Ritz
Bakery cookies like butter cookies with frosting
Frosting, by the tub!!
Pasta, not of the whole wheat kind of course ( I can eat it in moderation)
Cookies in general
Did I say bread?
Oh and I like charm pops suckers, tootsie roll pops, and any kind of candy
Chocolate!!

I think that covers my list!!!

You said u can eat the whole wheat in moderation...does that mean u cannot eat the white flour pasta in moderation? B/c that is true for me.

Yup, no white pasta for me.  I thought Dreamfield's worked for me, but I struck out there too.  Whole wheat pasta, just a few noodles, is all I can really tolerate.  Booo!!!

Dreamfields didn't work for me either

Barilla Protein Pasta does....in moderation
I rarely have it....maybe 4 times since surgery
but it's never bothered me when I did have it

Dreamfields doesn't sit well with me and I feel very uncomfortable, bloated and as though the pasta is backing up in my esophagus. And lets not talk about the really horrible noxious ass gas that escaped me right around bedtime and into the morning hours. I think I'm going to have to try whole wheat pasta at some point, but right now I'm really trying lay off the pasta.
