Will I ever eat pasta or bread again?

Thanks. I just dont want to be able to eat more than other people. I like a 1/2 piece of sourdough with an egg on it. Only had it twice, but it's a great treat.

I have eaten bread/pasta. but of course in moderation. i also eat tortilla wraps.
whatever i make though, i can never finish it and it fills you up insanely quickly. the other day i went to subway and got a tuna sandwhich (6 inch) and ate maybe a third of it (after i picked off most the bread lol)

pasta i can eat relatively easy, but again, fills me up quick. sometimes when i make a seafood salad, i'll toss some pasta in it. or when i make a cream based stir fry. it's nice to be able to eat it, but i find eating these things out (at restaurants) is such a waste, cause 4 forkfuls and i'm full and the waiter looks as if they brought out a squirrel on a plan

I have a tip about Subway, order the kids meal. It is a third of a sandwich. I order the turkey kids meal and usually pull the meat off the bread. I might nibble the bread some.

I don't have a problem with pasta, but bread sits really heavy. Tried pizza but that was like a lump, too.
But I don't have any problems with crisp stuff, like crackers or pretzels.

But baked goods/AP flour is like a trigger for me. I like all bready carbs. But I can't stop when I start, and they DO make me hungry, so it's a never ending cycle, so now it's a battle of willpower. Best to just stay away, at least at this point in my weight loss.

For what it's worth, though, my diet plan does allow toast and crackers, and suggests if I do eat bread or pasta, make it whole grain. I do need fiber.

I've been eating pasta since about week 10 and it's fine. Bread I still struggle with occasionally but it's getting better. Any 'new' food you try has the potential to cause problems and if it does, just leave it off for a week and then try again. Yesterday I thoroughly enjoyed a Gammon, Cheese and pickle sandwich (well, 1/2) and it was bliss
