Earlier this morning, AOL emailed me to let me know that The Carb Lover's Notebook is being considered as a feature on the Diet & Fitness screen. They asked that I send them a picture of myself to posted along side the link to my page. I should probably take a picture surrounded by all of my favorite high carb delights -- bread, kaiser rolls, croissants, chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon raisin bread, french toast, vanilla ice cream, french fries, buttermilk biscuits, belgian waffles, pound cake, apple pie, homemade rolls -- but then again, maybe not. If I were to do that, the Atkins people would treat me like PETA treats people with fur coats.
Right now, I'm sipping on lemon water and trying to decide what kind of sandwich I want for lunch. Yesterday, I had a delicious chicken sandwich from Panera Bread, and I tried to be a good girl and load up on the fresh greens and tomatoes. But you know what, I ended up picking them off in order to get to the heart of the sandwich -- the heavenly rosemary & red onion focaccia.
For me, lunch without some kind of bread is like a television without a remote control.
Someone asked me the other day if I would ever get around to writing an entry about the Atkins Pancake & Waffle mix. Trust me, it's coming. I just have to muster up the nerve to do it.

Girl you are hilarious. I totally agree with you about the T.V. w/o remote thing because I too am a "carboholic". Bread, cookies, cakes have always been my friend. So why now am I supposed to just forsake them in order to shed pounds? But Kim as much as I hate to confess, if the carbs are turning to sugar and then to fat then they have to go. I want to get healthy and from everything I've read, other than just Atkins and South Beach, those lovely, delectable carbs have gotta go. Let's help and support each other on this quest. Recovering addicts take it one day at a time. Well we "carboholics" have to take it one second at a time. Here's the word I hang onto throughout my waking hours to help me..... 1Corin 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."
