My DIRTY little SECRET!

“There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.” ― Mark Twain

Oh isn’t that just the truth! Lol – and I KNOW we can all relate to this on some level or another. For me, (in this instance hehe) my dirty little secret is most likely not what you were suspecting… no, wait! – What were you suspecting? ;)

Nope... it is... BREAD!

A little over three years ago I began the journey of “banting”. I did this religiously for about six months until I realised that is simply didn’t work for me! So I went back to my previous eating habits… now don’t get me wrong… as far as dietary habits go in the 21st century, I would actually consider myself a really healthy eater.

I prepare a home cooked meal every single night for my family and there are always fresh veg and/or salad greens to accompany the main.

BUT – and it is a BIG BUT as usual – I have an insane weakness for carbs… specifically bread, pasta and potatoes! – In fact potatoes should probably be first on that list, but bread is the one that is always lying around the kitchen like some twisted seduction - Just waiting for you to succumb to its will. Lol

After canning the banting journey, I decided to simplify things and just cut out my mentioned weaknesses… and I have done that successfully for over two years now. It has been a complete lifestyle change but one that I have adapted to really well…

…until I joined steemit! Lol

Yip, it’s all Steemit's fault! Haha

Since I joined this platform, I have pretty much been burning the candle at both ends and I have developed this late night, dirty little secret with the loaf of fluffy white bread that lies on my kitchen counter, and the tomatoes that sit smiling at me in my fridge.

Now, if I could just turn my back on the fluffy loaf and dedicate my ravenous enthusiasm to the tomatoes alone, everything would be grand… but… I have NOT been doing that! Lol

It started as an “every now and then” thing but this relationship has developed into this lust filled NEED every SINGLE night! Lol

To me, there is NOTHING that beats a plain tomato sandwich with REAL BUTTER, salt and copious amounts of black pepper! Mmmmmm – I get excited just thinking about it lol!

BUT – I am now publicising my recently acquired “dirty little secret” in the hopes that I can END this relationship that is so utterly destructive to my waistline! Hehehe

Starting…. Tomorrow! - I will see you a little later fluffy ;) haha!

Wish me luck!!

Here’s to beginning a NEW relationship with the tomatoes alone!!! Hehe!
