Jello and Ready Whip!


So after the egg diet I went low carbs. I am actually still going low carbs. So I am on day six without sweets or even worse without bread, pasta, or pots. First my mom tells me I need to go p/u a birthday cake on Thursday for my Nana. This I don't mind except I am to be left alone with sweets? Not just any sweets but Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and apricot filling. Carrot cake is one of my weaknesses and then to add in the filling, I don't know if this is even fair to ask me. Then my husband asks me to go to the store and get him three fried pies and a couple of donuts. In all fairness he did clean the kitchen, grill out dinner for me, and do all the laundry today so he kind of deserved it. Plus we have had no sweets in the house and he is dying. Apparently I am the only one that can go buy sweets at the grocery. Then the final straw happened. My sponsor called and she fell of the wagon. She had a cereal bar and followed it down with a big bowl of cereal and MILK!!! In her defense it was Fiber One cereal (10grams of fiber) with skim milk and a Fiber One cereal bar (9 grams of fiber). I have been craving milk though. Everytime I open the fridge it looks at me and "moos", but the pitiful "moo" not that your fat "moo." I wanted to be strong, I really did but I was dying. So I told my husband I would go get his sweets. I figured I would find something I could have at the store. Well then I got to thinking about how last time my sponsor and I did low carbs we made jello shooters with rum (0 carbs), sugar free jello (0 carbs), and chocolate ready whip (less than 1 carb). Don't make fun, this was the best way we could drink, b/c you can only ave so many Michelob Ultra Lights before the carbs start adding up. I'm at the store, I grab my husband's stuff, some sugar free jello, and go to get the ready whip. NO CHOCOLATE READY WHIP !!! What the hell??? I looked all over and it wasn't like I was at Neighborhood Wal-Mart, I was at Schnucks. Schnuck has everything. I am still disappointed in that. Oh, I grabbed the regular ready whip. Came home, pour out the jello and cut it into pieces then topped it with ready whip. I had an orgasm in my mouth. I had never tasted something so good before. My husband waved his donut in my face and I could have cared less. Of course this was all due to the 6 days without sweets but still I didn't know jello and ready whip could ever be so good. Just some more ideas for you low carbers or diabetics.
