i am sooooo over this "low carb craze" that is everywhere i go these days. it's just annoying. i don't know why i hate it so much. maybe cuz i know i could never go on a low carb diet, cuz carbs are my life! the foods i love most are noodles, rice and bread! how do i give that up?! like last night, we went grocery shopping, and i grabbed a nice, warm fresh loaf of french bread at the bakery, and it was soooo delicious, in all it's white fluffy goodness... and they want me to say no to that?! i can't do it. no way. i'd rather be fat and happy eating my bad "white carbs" than ever give up that part of my life!

i remember a time when i was really little, like 5 or 6 years old, and i was at our friend's house, and me and one of the boys (who was probably about 10 or 11 at the time) ate an entire loaf of bread one morning! hahaha, we just kept putting slice after slice in their monster toaster that toasted like 10 slices at a time (there were 7 kids in the family, everything was monster sized at their house), and just kept spreading on jam and butter over and over, til we got to the end of the loaf, and we stopped, and realized how much trouble we'd be in once his dad found out. i remember i could eat a lot when i was a kid...i had no trouble finishing off a pack and a half of ramen, when today i have trouble finishing the one pack. strange. i think i was just burning more energy back then.

i think the thing that really got me was watching "the low carb revolution" on food network. one of the nutritionists said that the low carb diet will stick around cuz it works. it really works. it's just a matter of giving up all that i love to eat, not just for a couple months or a year, we're talking for the rest of my life... *sigh*
