New life without craving carbs

[Erink 0]

My family and I went to an Italion restarant on Saturday night. The portions were huge and in the past I could have eated most of it. I looked around the room and noticed what people were eating. No wonder most people have a weight problem. I ordered the eggplant parmesan. It came with salad & Soup (I gave the DH) and spaghetti that My 9 year old ate. I had about 1/3 ofthe egplant and I was full. Amazing. Took leftovers home. Had a small amount for lunch the next day, and the rest today. On the table we had garlic bread and I was not even interested in having it. I swear not having carbydtaes for 6 weeks has made me uninterested in them. Before, I was a carb addict. I did not feel complete unless I had carbs with my meal. Now, I can serve them to my family and just pass them aside. My energy is thorugh the roof and I am not falling asleep in the office at 3:00 like I used to. Thanks for letting me share.

Erink, Congratulations on the carb breakthrough!!! It's a great thing. I shudder when I think how many carbs I used to consume. I now consider myself to be much more normal.

Erink,

Isn't it interesting to see how MUCH people eat and also don't chew? It was such a subconscious effort before and now you are so aware of everything!! Congratulations on passing up the carbs.:thumbup:

I used to love carbs also...they don't call my name anymore. of course my toddlers eat carbs and I'm not even tempted at all. I thought I read somewhere that if you do or don't do something for 21 days it becomes a habit?

I commend you on not heading for the bread basket. Great job!
