for the love of bread

8/6/14

I have a problem with carbs.  There I said it.  While I take pictures of these gorgeous red and yellow cherry tomatoes that my friend Elaine gifted me from her garden,  innocently giving you the impression that I snack on these straight from the bowl, what I really munch on absentmindedly are carbohydrates.


I am not picky in my love of the white stuff....cookies, bread, rice, potatoes...it's all fair game.

I think I've always know it was a weakness but it really hit me square in my ample bumm yesterday as I cut up a fresh loaf of french bread that I impulsively bought hot out of the oven from Albertson's.  (I mean, how can you say no when the bags are still warm and steamy and they're on sale for $1.00).


The bread didn't even make it all the way home before I ripped off a nice hunk for the drive home and now less than 24 hours later the loaf is gone...completely gone.


They say the first step is admitting you have a problem, check.  The next would be not putting them into my mouth.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

xo, Patty

  2. Patty, Myself I would be repeating that first step many times... I love cookies. I made a deal with my granddaughter, that I would eat less cookies if she ate less ice cream. She is 12 and needs to lose about 20 pounds. I feel she is over weight. I told her to just eat less ice cream than before. Just one tablespoon less and she will be surprised. Hope it works. I wish I had a cookie. LOL. I did not buy cookies at the store this last visit. If we as lowly humans could just control our impulses. Honey, I am wishing you great luck. xoxo,Susie

  5. It's just really hard to pass it up when you walk in the store and they are taking it out of the oven. I have certain foods that are impossible for me to pass by - Oreos to start with. Seriously, I have to just not buy them.
