Feeling sorry for the Atkins dieters

As I was enjoying a delicious Brugger's Bagel this morning I found myself thinking about those people who have chosen not to eat carbs. How do they do it? I know that some people are able to do anything in their quest to lose weight, but to give up carbs? Okay I could give up some. I really am not a total sugar addict for example. I do like chocolate, but even I eat that in moderation. Actually, I do believe that everything in moderation is a better diet anyway. But back to the main point: What I crave sometimes, and really NEED to eat is bagels. Sometimes whole grain bread will do, or wheat pitas (I craved those last week and finally bought some). But to me a bagel, a real fresh bagel, not the wimpy frozen kind, is the ultimate in comfort food. Given the choice I would choose bagels over donuts every time. And if I have to work a little harder on those crunches, well so be it. Just don't take away my bagels! (For the record, I probably only buy them once a month, but its as necessary to me as an occasional pizza...but that's another story.)
