Well , folks I CHOSE to do it last night. Instead of the dessert withg crust, that I really planned on having, I opted for the garlic fried BREAD with marinara!! WOO HOO!! I enjoyed it as much as I would have any dessert. I checked the scale when I got home, and it went UP, as I knew it would. Drank lots of water. This am, the scale was back down. I knew (well, I hoped) it would be. Today, I am back to the regular LC routine. BTW, I still had the metal mouth going on after dinner last night, and still today, so I must not be too far out of sync. I did have BIG DOUBT about this, and what it was going to mean. But, I ate it, and did not want it anymore after it was gone. Oh, yeah, I even had CARROTS! Shame on me LOL
