Loving the LC WOE but one small complaint

Since starting LC I find it very easy to stick to. I love that I am never hungry, and I am enjoying the varieties of foods. My husband and kids, while not eating LC, are very supportive.
BUT there is a LC thief in the house lol.
My low carb flatbreads and wraps seem to be vanishing along with the turkey, cheese, lettuce, and bacon I make them with.
My string cheese and pepperoni seem to evaporate in thin air.
Beef jerky and nuts simply disappear.
Nothing that takes any real preparation vanishes: wings, burgers, steaks, chicken breasts all appear to be immune to this phenomenon.
But somehow the pork rind bag and SF jello cups are instant victims of the LC Bermuda triangle that activates the moment I leave the room.
Is any one else experiencing these mysterious occurrences or is it just the sneak thieves in my house?

LOL, I think I had the same thief at my house but in my case it turned out to be my husband. He's now preparing to join me eating LCHF.
I can't blame the thief (thieves) at your place though cause those foods of yours sound yummy. 2 -
Well...since my hubby and I are both doing this it should be like that, but we gravitate towards different foods. Maybe I just buy so much that I don't notice it going missing!
My daughter is a total carbivore so she doesn't take our food. Once she eats through the carbage in the house she may have to resort to the cheese and meat snacks though!
It's not hard to believe that the yummy snacks would go missing...so tasty.2 -
The hubby really can't go LC with his kidney issues (too much sodium) or he probably would. And the kids have no interest in giving up their carbs right now, but boy they are quick snatch my treats before their own.1

I live with two vegans, so the only thing we "fight" over is the green leafy veggies. Maybe you need to padlock a cupboard or two! 0

I think the 15 yr old boy would gnaw through the chain lolol. He is currently in the bottomless pit stage. The little twirp has grown a foot in the last year and now is tall and skinny and has to look down at me. I keep telling him I can still take him though lol4

Ha! In my house, my LCHF goodies never disappear, but huge sub sandwiches and large bags of chips mysteriously appear. Thankfully, I am immune to the particular goodies this CARBAGE fairy leaves in my house.6

The only thing that disappears in my place is food off my plate. My WOE has turned my cat into a professional thief and beggar.7

Rosegirl1 that is too funny "carbage fairy"0

lol my cats are all over me when I eat too! The hubby says it's because I spoil them too much. But I really don't give them food off my plate often.... that's the problem with rescues... they always act like they have to scavenge.

LOL! My husband and boys aren't tempted by my LC/fake-sugar goodies. 1

Eeks. You are scaring me. I have a almost 14, 12 and 9 year old in the house and all are growing and eating at great rates but they haven't hit a teenaged growth spurt yet. I'm worried I won't be able to keep up to their appetites.0 -
My 11 year old! I've flat out told her that unless she goes 100 carbs per day or less she must LAY OFF the low carb, sugar free things I buy for Anna and myself now. The snot...."I don't have a weight problem and my joints don't hurt so I don't need to be low carb, Mom" Then quit eating my food!!!5

Mine is also a rescue, arrived as a feral kitten, I still have scars from him. Now he's more like a cuddly teddy bear. But he's never been interested in human food before. Same goes for my SO's cat, we watched him swipe a packet of pork scratchings off the table, run off and rip it open last weekend. We were not sure if we should tell him off or be impressed. Funnily enough, he's another rescue.

Koujo the raccoon does this here. He LOVES pork rinds! I cave and just let him have em. I figure if he's smart enough to find his way to them and open them, he can have them. (and he doesn't live in the house 24 hours a day. I can put him back outside in his pen when I get tired of his antics.)2 -
My boyfriend and I are both LC (finally!) so I make him his own goodies and he lays off mine. He likes the low carb pumpkin muffins I make him and in return he won't eat my cheesecake bites. My son is 7 so as long as I tell him that it's "diet food" he gets grossed out and won't touch it. Except he loves my homemade cheese its so I have to make extra.2

I just made lunch for my hubby and I and found that most of the cheddar cheese was gone - he feigned innocence. I had to remind him that LC doesn't mean all you can eat cheese.2

Ah, this is one time I am glad my wife is a vegetarian and my daughter is a super picky eater. Fortunately, my wife's vegetarianism has to do with the texture of meat and not the whole "ooh, it had a face" mentality. She has actually been very supportive. As for cheese, since both of them like that, I stay safe by primarily getting the spiciest cheese I can find because my daughter is a complete wimp and spicy food is something my wife stopped being able to eat ever since her pregnancy with my daughter. Neither of them like pork rinds (not sure how that is possible for a human).1

my kids hate pork rinds too....totally weird, right? @cstehansen0

If it's nice, aged cheese (lactose converted to lactic acid...), then he could have some dry wine or perhaps a shot of straight gin with each piece for a more diverse meal plan.2 -

One of y earliest childhood memories is eating "porky rinds" with my dad. Makes me sad that my son doesn't enjoy them too....0 -

I wish someone would have told me it wasn't all you can eat cheese before I ate a pound of cheese and had tummy troubles for a week......3 -
Looks single serve to me...specially anything Tillamook! I have three flavors in the fridge right now. It's the one thing I can't seem to let go of...cheese!

@RowdysLady - I have to be careful of the smell when opening the bag (EDITED TO ADD: BAG OF PORK RINDS). It's kind of ... off-putting... but air it out? Then eat away, absolutely! LOL2 -

hahaha
Well, according to him, it is! He was so sneaky about it...I never realized we were running low until I grabbed the barely there cheese square out of the fridge to weigh out 2 oz for lunch. (1 for him, 1 for me). He's just lucky I wasn't counting on it for a recipe in the works.

Tillamook (and my lack of self control
) is the main reason that my daughter calls me the 'daddy mouse'! 3
