The downside of dieting

I'm a comfort eater. And even though I'm doing the all new Weightwatchers diet which has lots of helpful tips with their 10 winning habits one of which IS comfort eating, I'm still craving carbs at the moment.

It sucks being on a diet. And I know that technically I could have whatever I want as long as I count the points, it's not the same as being able to dive headfirst into a fresh white loaf of bread and smother it in butter. Which is what I really want to do. I think I have PMT.

I also seem to be a sucker for advertising. If I see a certain food advertised, or even read about it or hear someone talk about it, I immediately want it. I was reading the wonderful Chubby Girl Brigade and the writer is talking about a shopping trip - now I always say if i lived in the States I would be enormous as they have the BEST food. Reading about her impulse buys made me want tater tots. Now I haven't a bloody clue what these things are. But I want them. Now.

I have an impulse control problem! Good job I don't live in the US....

Ok - Oscar is winging. He's in his crib and should be asleep by now.....I'll go cuddle him a bit.

This post was getting pointless anyway!

I think I infact left a comment to that effect on the Chubby Girl's Brigade blog - thank the good Lord I don't live in the US - I too would be a million stone in weight.

Tonight I could have murdered a pizza from the takeaway, but I had beef burritos from the WW Eating out at home cookbook (have you got it? I'd recommend it!) instead - I do feel better but I know what you mean about the warm bread and butter - make mine a baguette!

Love

Tater tots rock.

I'll take the bread and butter over tater tots any day!
