W.I.S.H. me luck

In a short while my husband and I are going to drive to New Orleans. We are staying on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter.

I will be eating shrimp without the etouffe No gumbo <i>*sigh*</i>, no beignets

Then we drive to Houston and other parts of East Texas. No chicken and dumplings, no chicken fried steak, no Pappas butterflied deep fried shrimp, no yummy Texas Barbecue. None of our comfort foods that we usually pork out on when we visit family.

This trip is going to be a real test of character for both of us. I believe we are both determined, though. My husband feels so much better now that Atkins has his blood sugar under control, that he has no intention of giving up that good feeling by eating high carb.

W.I.S.H. us luck

You can do it...... There are lots of good things you can still have!
Our Local Sonny's Restaurant has a wonderful hickory smoked bar-b-que with sauce on the side, so dont give up on that. You may be able to find different versions of old favorites.

Katholyn - you can eat GOOD on low carb... just differently then you used to. I know you can do it... and you will feel sooo much better in the long run. HUGS to you my friend.

I don't look at the things I can't (or, more appropriately WON'T) eat... I look at all the marvelous things I CAN eat... steaks, shrimp, ribs, real cream ice cream... I truly don't miss much of anything!

You can do it.
