I'm with you! I'm all for people trimming down but it's getting out of
hand about the 'carb counting'. Watching people freak out when you
even mention potato, bread or pasta is getting tiring. But I am
putting up with it just as I put up with my co-worker that downs a
whole package of Snackwell crakers and fat-free creamcheese at lunch.
Gross. (But fat-free!)

Can't wait for the next trend diet!

You still can eat well, just less of it and it works! (But I'm a
weight watcher disciple who has done well with it over the years)

Here's some fun:
