Default Anybody find themselves wanting to lick the bowl...
Before lc I used to love baking...and enjoyed SO much licking the bowl....you know, choco chip cookie dough, brownie dough, etc.

Now that I've been lc-ing I don't have those things, of course...but here lately I've found myself wanting to 'lick the bowl' so to speak with everything I eat...like salad, or tuna, etc. I'm thinking....hey, I measured this and it was so and so carbs and I want them ALL. Does anyone else do this? I think it's kinda weird and wondered if I was the only one.

Funny you mentioned that! I was going to make my boys some brownies today (not low carb), but after I started thinking about it, I realized that the only reason I wanted to make them brownies was so I could lick the bowl! I decided that the brownies would have to wait another day, when I could resist the urge!

I did the same thing today with my salad. I decided I was going to make sure I got the last of the shredded cheese and ranch dressing that was in my bowl. My friend asked me what I was doing and my reply was "gotta get my carb's worth." She just shooked her head and laughed. So Freckles you are not alone.

This is so funny! I'm really glad to see that I'm not the only one. I just finished scraping my bowl from my Torani SF black cherry - sweetened whipped cream...and that was after scraping the salad dressing off of my plate! Too funny. Of course, it's much easier to laugh at myself about it since I'm not the only one...before I was just thinking I was a nut.

I WANT to lick the bowl -- but I always have 2 pairs of liquid brown eyes staring at me and I ALWAYS give in to them and let THEM have the bowl instead. It's funny how the dogs may have JUST eaten but they can convince me (with their big, sad eyes and drooling) that they are absolutely STARVING to death. My babies...
