For the same reason that my plans when I reach my goal weight are to go
to "Outback" and have a damned baked potato with a rack of lamb. I've
been low carbing now for 10 months and have lost #45. But, I still have
#60 to go so that baked spud is at least another year off yet. <g>

<lol> Like me with my raw baby spinach craving for the past 2 months no

I think, of all the carbs I miss the most, it's spuds!

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
