I know some people have a really hard time being addicted to carbs. For me, I suffered so much trying low fat diets that being able to eat yummy real food is like a dream. I don't even want carbs anymore except for the convenience factor.

I truly realized how much I don't need carbs in my life anymore the other day. Me and my friends and our dogs were doing a demo of flyball (a dog sport) for some elementry school kids at the local library.

They loved it and the parents were so grateful one of them bought us ice cream cones. All the sudden DQ cones were being handed out, I couldn't say no, it was such a nice jesture. I rationalized that I have always been so good watching carbs, so I started to eat it. It was ok, but halfway through I just felt aweful, my stomach started hurting and I was feeling guilty for eating something I didn't even want.

So I deftly passed it to my dog, with out anyone noticing. (My dog Amber was like "DUDE! I have hit jackpot!") I can't believe I have reached a point where I sneak tossing out ice cream, just a few months ago I would be in front of an open freezer door with a spoon in my hand straining to hear if someone was coming while I shoveled it into my mouth.
