    When I was on a low fat diet....

    I ate about 20 pieces of red licorice a day.

    They have zero fat you see, so I figured it was a good choice for a snack. Total carbs for just 5 pieces? 34g

              Oh me too! I used to eat all I wanted of tootsie-rolls, jolly ranchers, blow pops, laffy taffy... You know all the 'fat free' candy.
              Sigh... if only we knew what we know now!!!

                      Yeah rice cakes really are weird... lol. However the carmel ones were ok.
                      It's kind of like eating cotton balls made out of cardboard.

                              Weight watchers used to positively encourage us to eat meringues - so I did as I was told! I love rice cakes though - call me weird, but I always found them delicious, just the plain ones.

                                  Yes for me too, I loved rice cakes, used to have rice krispy bars too because lower fat - YIKES! Now with Halloween... I'm not much into chocolate but give me some good ole' candy corn or circus peanuts and I was in heaven. Of course the sugar crash was terrible! LOL No wonder I was so moody!

                                      Boiled sweets were my low fat addiction! (I won't mention the huge plates of pasta with disgusting low fat sauces).
