My vice is when the grocery store puts that basket of hot fresh breach by the checkout. I can usually smell it before I see it. I love bad, white, starchy carbs!!!!!

My problem is the opposite of yours, late night commercials for Red Lobster, Burger King, Pizza Hut all kill me. The butt says no but the drool says oh yes! It's a good thing that I can't get any of it that late at night or I would eat so much crab I would grow claws :) I am both a WW and a fan of the Food network, so basically I should probably have the screen name Glutton for Punishment LOL!

Maybe it has something to do with her southern hospitality. Unfortunately I can gain 5 pounds just by looking at pizza or donuts, so I've never actually brought any of her amazing recipes to fruition. Love watching Paula Dean!
