The Other “C” Word
Posted By AmyD. on February 25, 2008
Carb.
As in, “low carb!”
Yes, yes, I’ve lost 13 pounds, but that does not mean that late at night I don’t hear pancakes, chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake, etc. etc. calling to me. On top of trying to adhere to my diet I now have discovered something… a deep secret that my family has kept from me.
Someone in this house has been buying M&Ms…
No, I’m NOT joking.
How did I come to find this out?
It was a cold and blustery night. I just couldn’t sleep… what with the television blaring a Chris Rock stand up special. I decided to have some (low*fucking*carb) ice cream to settle my nerves. As I arrived in the kitchen something occurred to me… “Oh my! (I said to myself) I don’t eat bread and yet, suddenly, I am VERY worried that we might not have any…” and I proceeded to ease my worries by searching the bread cabinet and just “happening” to find a bag of peanut M&M’s.
And, it is NOT my fault if tomorrow someone (hypothetically) finds an open bag of M&Ms with a bright pink post-it note that reads, “Ha ha, Fuckers! I ate most of your M&Ms!”
The “fuckers” part – I’ll blame on Atkins Rage or something like that.

Oh! Hey! I’ve been meaning to tell you about something that is supposed to help if you’re having bad carb cravings during the winter!
Have a little.
But if you have it, have something high in Fiber, etc. too.
I started eating on small bowl of oatmeal in the morning. I have the rest of the day to burn up the energy and it really helps me from craving carbs the rest of the day.
*that being said, I have NOT lost 13 lbs in the last ANY TIME…. so my advice is probably worthless. LOL
Oh!
And!
YAY FOR LOSING 13 POUNDS!!!!
:cheer: :cheer: :thumbsup: :coffee: :rockon: :greatone:
Well good Gawd woman, congrats! I just started this diet too … ugh. The Safeway butter pecan ice cream isn’t too bad. Chocolate is pretty tasteless. Ice cream bars, now those are almost tasty.
) Good luck! :thumbsup:
I’m the same way. I am very grateful when I try to lose weight, there is no one else in the house but me… No temptation. I don’t keep chocolate and stuff in the house because it is gone in about ten seconds. I cannot ration candy.
Want me to send you some Girl Scout Cookies and a cake? I totally will.
Adam, you are a jackass! :flaming:
Amy darling, hooray for losing 13 pounds!! But did I not read sometime that you were doing Nutrisystem?
I are confused.
I’m a strong proponent of eating what you want!
Miss B – I was actually thinking of doing the oatmeal thing. But, uh, that is because I’ve been CRAVING oatmeal like mad lately.
and… :heartbeat: thank you!
Michelle – The Dreyer’s no sugar added is pretty good, especially the mint n’chip. Thrifty’s brand no sugar added is good as well.
The Absurdist – Lucky, lucky you. :pttpth:
Avi – :hole:
B’s Mom – :thumbsup: :toya:
I was on Nutrisystem but I switched back to low carb because it works so much faster to me. I wanted some instant gratification. :rotflmao:
Yay for losing 13 pounds! :groovy:
And the M&M buyer was asking to lose their candy, leaving it around like that.
I just started low carb eating today. As of this moment, I’m not having cravings at all, but I’ve only ate one meal. lol Congrats on your 13 lb. loss! I hope it works as well for me.
WTG on loosing the weight!!!
Anyone who would bring M & Ms into the home of a woman on a low carb diet deserves to lose them! And, if it were found to be the person who wants a drive a day, well………………
Anyone who would dare to bring M&Ms into the house and then HIDE them – deserves to have them stolen.
yay Amy for losing 13lbs!
ahaha, let’s go to the gym
It’s already been said but I’ll say it again – Yay on the 13 pounds!
