    I don't know if we ever really get over it, for me carbs are an addiction, I know they make me feel crappy but I will still go on binge ever now and then. My aim to make the binges fewer and fewer :)

    Ah grasshopper. One must switch to the spoon, or licking the bowl if no one is looking. ;)

    Feel better soon.

    Yeah, spoon that butter up! Bread just distracts from the goodness of the butter. I see bread and pasta as "fillers", like how they add junk to dog food to bulk it up for no nutritional benefit. I ain't eating that junk! Lol

    When I do that at work (using my finger as an intermediary between the bowl and my mouth) I keep one eye on the outer door to make sure none of my students are sneaking in :p

    Lol I give my boys heck for doing it so I too need to be very careful that I am never caught licking the bel and my fingers.

    Love this!
    Finely grated stir fried cauliflower ( optionally cooked in coconut cream or milk) is another great soaking agent

    So sorry! I hate the headaches that come from carbs! The good thing is that it will pass! It's also good to be in a place that you can recognize the cause! Hang in there!! Gentle hugs!

    I just sprinkle Parmesan in the butter and spoon it up!

    Oh, I do that with cream cheese. Glad I'm not the only one with interesting uses for parmesan

    yup, parmesan - or why not make an almond bun or something for this purpose....someone posted a low carb sourdough, too, recently.

    This is an excellent point. If you have a pet, look at what is in their food. Cheaper foods have lots of fillers (wheat, corn, etc) and there are studies showing that it's not good for dogs.
    If it's not good for my family dog, which eats leftover scraps also, why would I eat it or feed it to my loved ones?

    My thought for the OP...lick the bowl! There's no shame at home.
