I am just as addicted to carbs as an alcoholic is addicted to booze. One slip and it easily becomes a slide. Lately I have been dreaming about marzipan for some reason. The temptation is severe.

I totally can get behind this. I've known about LC eating since my first successful foray in 1972. That hasn't kept me from convincing myself multiple times throughout the years that I can eat the way everybody else eats. It just ain't so.
PS: When I start obsessing about a particular carb, it's only a matter of time until I eat it. If I'm lucky I can control myself enough to make that the end of the story and get right back on plan. Substitutes don't work for me. |
