Really does look good! Would look better with a loaf of French bread, lol.

With fresh minced garlic and LOTS of butter!!!

We have been doing good on this diet. We both want bread. Today we skidded sideways.......

The feed store where we buy horse feed has closed for several weeks. I have 2 senior horses, 28 and 30, no way I'm changing feed. So we found the same brand some 40 miles away and bought 20 bags. That ought to hold us for awhile!

Coming back, we came through Edom, Tx where there is a café famous for their chicken fried steak. EEEERRRRKKKKK!!!!!! did y'all hear DH's truck tires screeching into the parking lot?? We both ordered the chicken fried steak and 2 sides. The waitress brought us 2 fluffy yeast rolls and a cornbread muffin. We devoured them. We could barely finish the steaks and didn't eat much of the sides, mashed potatoes and carrots (must have been cooked in 5 pounds of sugar ) for me and mashed potatoes and fried okra for DH. Then the pie....... We split a piece. We left and I felt nauseated. The sweet from the pie was sickening to both of us. We agreed, NO MORE PIE! Back to our vegetables and NOT FRIED meats!

Lesson learned! Your body changes


ON THE FLIP side --- bet that bread & pie was fabulous going into your mouth, right???

 

[baymule]

Bread, yes. Pie, half way through the half of a piece, I knew it was a mistake. Blech.

I've noticed after being off sugar and other carbs for over a year now, if I try to cheat it never tastes as good as I remember, and I end up with a headache for the rest of the day. So I don't cheat. The most I might do these days is stretch it just a bit, like having peas as a side dish (only went over my allowance by 3 grams, so not bad)

I feel your pain! After being on my diet for however long, I now can eat what I want. Tonight I ate some ice cream... It was gross. Way way too sweet and I ate about 2 bites. My plan is to keep my newfound taste buds and take advantage of enjoying healthier food! Lol

Today for lunch we had leftover pork roast, a green salad and fruit medley. I sectioned two grapefruit, cut up a mango, added 2 cups of frozen blueberries we picked in July, shredded unsweetened coconut and pecans. We'll eat the rest of the fruit tonight. Yummy!
