Got buns?

[Rena]

If you do ... don't go giving them to me!  

A funny thing happened last night. My family wanted Dairy Queen, and since we don't eat out much, we decided to get that for dinner. Rick and I decided to eat while watching TV -- bad, I know -- but that's another story. Anyway, I didn't have a plate or a fork and was too lazy to go upstairs and get one, so I thought, "What the heck. I'm close to my goal. A little bun won't hurt me." I took about 2 or 3 bites and ... ACK! That thing tasted like a glob of GOO! Still being lazy and not wanting to get a fork or plate, I tossed the bun aside and ate the rest of the burger like I should have in the first plate.

Of course, Rick said I was a freak. He still insists Doug's created a monster with me. I always remind him HE bought the book!

But anyway, I was surprised how gooey that bun was. There was nothing good about it. It was like eating a mouthful of paste. And to think we went so many years eating those things. Gross.

Same here...  In a way to me it's nice to know that I don't like it anymore...LOL  It kinda affirms that I'm not missing out on anything.  Me and the hubs stopped at a Fudrucker's the other day.  For those that don't have those...they make the best hamburgers ever (you can even order a 1 Lb-er if you can eat that much    I love going in there because they make your hamburgers fresh and you get to put your own toppings on.  I always order the burger with mushrooms and provalone cheese with out the bun and I kinda make a side salad with the makings on the side.  The other day I forgot to tell them to keep the bun and took a nibble....   They even butter and grill their buns....used to love those the best...LOL  Buttered paste

Yes Anything bread like it almost feels like it is growing in your mouth . Man I use to could polish off allmost a loaf a day  sad but true .
And dont even talk about a hot fresh loaf of french bread  To top off crazy I use to lather with the zero calorie butter spray so it was not so bad LOL
So glad I am free of that addiction I always felt so terrible about myself after I ate that crap Always wondered why I did it never knew it was the carbs creating the viciuos cycle .

I agree, Rena!

At Thanksgiving, there were fresh hot dinner rolls on the table for the non-FTS skinny family members.
They smelled so good. I thought... OK... One couldn't hurt too much.
So I lathered one up with softened butter and took a bite.... UGHHHH!... It was so disgusting!
I had to leave the table to spit it out!

That gooeyness is the starch in the buns.
The starch is the source of net carbs.
Carbs are gross!

I'm not sure why you are hungry today Marty.  I know I have days like that though...LOL  Maybe start the day with a little more fiber??  I'm sorry I'm not much help here.  I stuggle some days myself

Boy, am I hungry today! I've eaten two meals (hotdog, cheese, pork skin biscuit for one, chicken fillet and salad for the other) already and still want something. I've had all the coffee I wanted to drink (not all I wanted, just all I wanted to drink) and downed a bucket of water! I even had a mini zucchini cupcake. I've had a handful of almonds. There's still a lot of day left today! Somebody suggest something quick!

Hi Marty!

I used to often feel hungry after eating plenty and discovered that it was usually because my body was missing a needed nutrient.
After I started taking daily multi-vitamins and minerals, this happens very seldom.

A bit of deficiency in something like zinc can cause hungry feelings until we get some zinc.
Trace elements are important and our body lets us know when it needs some.

Other times, I think not drinking enough water or boredom can cause false hunger.
In the case of boredom, find something to do that keeps your mind occupied for a period of time.
Us carb/food addicts will think about eating when there's little else to think about.

I'm always hungry.

And I did think the starchy, bun carbs were gross.

Sugary carbs ... well, I could still live with those ...  ... but not maintain my weight-loss.
