Last night my DH took out of the freezer the most delicious looking loaf of whole grain bread from some organic bakery in Seattle, and sliced up some to go with the Atkins friendly dinner I had cooked. He discreetly kept the slices out of my line of sight, but just seeing that big loaf on the counter, all thawed out, was super tempting. When I cleared up dishes he had left a few crusts on his plate and as I reached to scrape them into the bin my hand almost went to my mouth!
Yes, good whole bread has been a temptation, so much so, I usually don't purchase any, we usually just have the nuts and seeds sandwich variety on the counter, which I can pass up.
How I got past it last night was to say to myself: you, along with more than 50% of the population, are allergic to wheat. The signs of the allergy, for you, are the water retention all over your body and especially around your eyes, and the big bloated upper belly that you always have when you allow bread and pasta into your diet. Don't eat something you are allergic to!
That big loaf is still on the counter this morning...maybe I better put it in a brown bag and put it up in the cupboard...
