Now I know how zombies feel when they're constantly hungering for brains.
Brains... brains... brains... brains... brains...
I don't really want to eat brains. But damn, I'm hungry! I've been cutting back on my calories and exercising more because I'm trying to lose the baby weight. I haven't cut back on my food too much (I'm still nursing), but enough to give me an edge of hunger pretty much all day long.
Even though I'd love nothing more than to sit my ass down in front of a serving bowl of spaghetti and a loaf of garlic bread, I know that I've got to lose the weight. For one thing, I was almost prediabetic before I got pregnant with R. That means I better get control of my weight and my eating habits if I don't want to end up a full-blown diabetic. For another, I won't be able to protect my own brains (and my family's brains) from the zombies if I'm overweight and out of shape. I only need to lose about 8 pounds to be at my pre-pregnancy weight, and then another 10 pounds to be at a weight that would satisfy me.
So I guess I'll nibble on a little cottage cheese and a few blueberries, and leave the pasta in the pantry.

I have been dieting too, for the first time in my entire life though, and I've been craving pasta too! Funny, I wonder if that's a dieting thing. I have been cutting way back on carbs.
Congrats on the weight loss so far :)
I found a wonderful, low cal Tzatziki(?) dip, made from yogurt, cucumber, dill and garlic and it is sooooo flavorful I don't mind dipping carrot and celery sticks for a snack. But I hear ya....sometimes you just want to sit down with something warm, hearty and comforting.
