My last poll was on whether you all find Easter to be less hectic than Christmas or not.
The results are 1 for less (that's me), 1 for about the same, and 3 for other. Yep. Thanks for participating. My new poll : Do the blue M&M's taste different than the rest of them. A character in the Jonnie Jacobs mystery I am reading says they do. I am trying to resist the temptation to buy a bag of M&M's and conduct my own experiment (for scientific purposes of course). Last week I fell off the Atkins wagon a little bit (a couple slices of cake....a couple of cookies.....some bread....not all on the same day....) but I have jumped back on it. Still, I find myself to be distractedly curious about the blue M&M controversy.
Blago Update: Now he wants to film in the U.S. I think the other wannabe celebrities should refuse, since by accommodating him, the are already treating him like THE celebrity, and thus he has already won before the contest begins.
M&M Update: Who knew you could find pictures of blue M&M's on the web by googling blue M&M's only pictures? I really thought I was just kidding, but boy, I found some.....
Helen's Mental Health Update: She's googling blue M&M pictures, created a blue M&M label for her blog posts, and taking polls about their flavor. SHE FINDS BLUE M&M'S TO BE A CONTROVERSY SHE CAN'T KEEP HER MIND OFF OF! What do you think her mental health status is?

Helen, I'll be needing another choice on your poll: I've never had blue M&M's before, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll be forced to go out and buy some. Thanks a lot, Helen, for dragging us into your blue obsession. Now I'll need Atkins, too.
Hope this inspires you:
Go Meat!
I still say all things in moderation.
but I'm full of cellulite 'cause I don't follow my own advice.
Wendy, thank you. I appreciate your help and support.
Katdish, Bob and I both love the Go Meat! commercials. I didn't realize that we could enjoy them on youtube whenever we want. Thanks.
Sherri, I am not so good at moderation. I am getting a little better. Last week when I cheated with the cookies, we are talking three cookies, no more. Still, I should be spending my carbs on fruits and vegetables, not cookies (even though they were sugar free..)
Helen - anyone on an Atkins diet is suspect as far as mental health - just kidding. but it's gotta be hard, real hard. I don't know. I think the South Beach diet is the way to go.
I think your mental health status is:
Adorably curious and a tad OCB
Obsessive - compulsive about all things blue!!!
Just don't feel blue!!!
I find that as soon as I tell myself that I'm not allowed to have something, it's ALL I think about. Good luck with avoiding blue M&Ms. The brownies I baked tonight were DELICIOUS. ;)
(That wasn't very nice, was it?)
(Sorry. But seriously. They ROCKED.)
I should give props to South Beach as well. I dropped 70 lbs on it and counting.
Gabrielle, I considered SB, but then I read about eco atkins being good for the thyroid, but I had to give it up because I got weak and more lethargic, but I didn't want to totally give up Atkins. I give up diets too easily. I felt I ought to adjust, not give up, you know?
Michelle, thanks. I fell off the wagon last week, and I don't want to allow myself to do so again just because I am wondering about blue M&M's.
Steph, that's okay. Any chocolate will not due. The obsession really is blue M&M's. And no one is telling me their opinion on it. They seem to be content to call me a heathen based on my lack of affection for skittles.
Nick, congratulations! I don't think I have lost anything, even after six weeks of dedication to Atkins. But I haven't gained anything either. That has been a real issue with my thyroid. Can you believe I gained weight on an 800 Calorie diet? Then I got so mad, I threw in the towel figuring if I gained weight on lettuce, pass the cheeseburger, fries, and cookies. Of course, that only means gaining even more weight that I can't take off. So anyway, holding steady is better than I was doing, so, here's hoping for the best. And again, congrats on the 70 pounds!
