    Bacon is my new comfort food

    Before the WOE I would not really eat bacon. I have discovered that bacon is an excellent comfort food. When I'm craving something carbolicious at bedtime (which happens a few times/week) all I have to do is fry up 2-3 slices of bacon and slowly enjoy it over ten minutes and all thoughts of sweets have left my mind I never would have ever thought in a million years that I would enjoy bacon so much! I buy nitrate free reduced sodium bacon from the local meat store so I don't really feel guilty at all! I love the WOE and I hope that it can become my permanent WOL!!!!!!!

      Yup good bacon is a winner. The secret is to cook only a serving at a time lol.

        Gman, my daughter was sitting on my lap when I was reading the atkins board and she says your after picture looks just like George Clooney! Have a great day!

          When I come out of the gym in the morning, the first thing I smell is bacon cooking over at the diner next door ... nom nom nom; LOVE bacon! It feels naughty to be scarfing down the stuff the hay-eaters have been telling us to avoid all these years ... heh

                MamaRuthie your daughter is right!
                That is, both pictures ARE George Clooney lol. The first is when he gained weight for a movie, the second is after he lost it.
                It's my mission - I figure if he can lose 35 lbs., so can I.

                        I used to have a shirt as a teen that had the slogan "Makin' bacon" on it. And sure enough there were 2 pigs on the shirt makin' bacon... I was told I could never wear it to the highschool again or i would be suspended... damn bacon haters!

                              If you like bacon, check out this site Bacon Today | Daily Updates on the World of Sweet, Sweet Bacon. I saw a picture there that said "Bacon is Meat Candy"
