I have a sensitivity to carbs....just looking at one makes me gain weight! I love to cook, love to bake (mostly desserts) and find myself turning right to the dessert section in any new cookbook that I get. This week I pulled out my languishing bread machine and made two loaves of low carb bread...I changed around the ingredients to suit what I had on hand and the results weren't too shabby. I think I have to be careful of the calories because low carb doesn't necessarily translate into low fat or low calorie. One loaf of bread called for 4 tablespoons of butter or oil (yikes!). I subbed 1 tablespoon of oil and 3 tablespoons of Lighter Bake...the results were pretty good. A very dense loaf with good fats from the almond meal and garbanzo bean flour. I must remember to cut those slices thin however!

I watched a show on cable following up on people who has gastric bypass...one woman's story really hit home for me...she said that the scale is now her enemy...her whole life depends on the number that she sees on that scale in the morning...it rules what she eats, how much she eats, if she can have anything extra...she's gone a whle day without eating because of the number on the scale...her big fear is that she will gain 5lbs...her biggest fear is that she will be back at 240lbs (her starting weight). I'm not as bad as that but I do find that my day is colored by what I see on the scale in the morning. I haven't gone a whole day without eating, but my mood and how I see myself is mirrored in that daily numbered. I try and put it all in perspective but it's hard...all my success and possible failure are based on those numbers. I can see excusing a 5lbs weight gain as just a fluctuation in body weight...then it's 6lbs, then 10...before I know it it's back in size 32 pants...how real is that fear??
