I’m literally obsessed with carbs at the moment - could it be the change in the weather?

I certainly don’t need to put on any weight to get thorough winter but here I am shovelling them in !!

Oh well, diet starts Monday …

Same here. Keep shovelling.

Carbs are humans reason for living

I am too, I’m pregnant and all I want is bread-based meals 😂

I missed lunch today so for tea I'm having lasagne, garlic bread and sweet potato fries... Also had a few crisps with my wine...

I really want a Chinese tonight but I'm broke.
I can't even afford fuel for my car.

Dammit!

I've got enough roast potatoes in the oven to sink a battleship,
along with a jug full of batter for Yorkshire puddings.
Sometimes you just have to go with it.

Just ate my own body weight in mash 😀😀😀

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 07/11/2021 17:25

I do that with lasagne.

Youdoyoutoday · 07/11/2021 17:26

I'm shovelling today too but I'm due on and always have a ravenous day beforehand.

Defo can't miss bootcamp!

Craving the cheddar and jalepeno fresh baked bread from Tesco. I want a massive doorstep slice slathered with butter and a slice of mexicana cheese on it.

Alittlenonsensenowandthen · 07/11/2021 17:52

Yup, been successfully doing low carb type diet. All easy up until last week when it got colder. How I just want wine, crisps, potatoes and piles of creamy pasta!

MusingOnStarlight · 07/11/2021 17:57

I was debating starting low carb tomorrrow. Then I remembered that I’m hungry and cold

I have recently discovered the joy of a hash brown sandwich with melted cheese and brown sauce.

To counteract the effect I may need to hibernate and live off body fat until March 2022.

Greentime101 · 07/11/2021 18:14

Oh my goodness this is just giving me inspiration!!!

You win this year's carb fest.

Hence the hibernation plans!

spookysoul · 07/11/2021 19:01

Potato waffle sandwich with cheese also works.
I’m having chicken burgers tonight, cannot wait for that delicious bread meat and cheese combo 😂

KT727 · 07/11/2021 19:04

Me too! I just scoffed down a big bag of Tyrell's crisps as a starter before my take-away pizza (which is a rare treat).

VladmirsPoutine · 07/11/2021 19:10

I'm saving myself for Xmas.

KurtWilde · 07/11/2021 19:14

Bread, bread and more bread. Any kind really. And crisps. All the crisps. I'm putting it down to the weather and dark evenings.

Apparently if you go Keto you never crave another carb in your life Hmm.

Babdoc · 07/11/2021 19:17

I am usually fairly restrained, but it is definitely the start of hot buttered crumpets season…Grin
