Today is the last day before I jump right back into the South Beach Diet. My stomach is finally completely well and I feel I can handle the vegetables and proteins without the carbs.
So, today I am celebrating this by having a carb blowout! I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast with real maple syrup made just up the road in Littleton, New Hampshire. It was wonderful! I’ve been craving blueberry pancakes for weeks and since today was the last day I could do it, legally, I broke out the flour and frozen blueberries from last summer and whipped up a batch! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! They were just great!!!
Later today I will polish off the last of the apple pie from Thanksgiving. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it! And after all, the first two weeks of South Beach are the toughest and so I’m just rewarding myself in advance.
My goals on South Beach are easy. To get control over my eating once again. When I started having problems with my stomach about all I could eat were carbs. Toast, noodles, cream of wheat, crackers. All those comfort food things that sit easily in the stomach.
But for someone like me, a carboholic, eating carbs makes me want to eat more carbs and I feel hungry all the time, and my weight starts to climb. I feel so much better when I really limit them in my diet and eat a diet that is high in protein.
So good-bye blueberry pancakes and apple pies and hello low fat cheese and salads!!!

Glad you got those blueberrie pancakes. Sorry I didn’t get around to it while you here. I still have the berries. Maybe I’ll have the parents over for pancakes soon.
This post made me smile at the memory of us picking blueberries a couple months ago! My blueberry vodka is just about ready to taste 😉
I don’t know if I could do the South Beach Diet. I heard about a diet the other day that made sense in theory. Something to do with having the same taste all day. If you overload your senses with one taste you feel fuller. Sounds good on paper anyway.
