I am so frustrated right now...SO FRUSTRATED!
Tonight for dinner we planned to have Indian food at home - it wasn't restaurant food, it was all store bought stuff - a lot of Trader Joe's, etc.
EVERYTHING we ate was some type of a carb. No veggies. Carbs, Carbs, Carbs, Carbs. As I sit there and ate I worried about the calories - but, I went into dinner with a lot of calories left for the day, so I thought it would be OK.
Lesson 1 - don't put anything on your plate unless you understand the calories
Lesson 2 - carbs are filled with calories and it is no wonder that low carb diets work.
When all was said and done I logged a whopping 1022 calories for a hack rate, crappy, knock off Indian food meal.
Now I feel sick to my stomach, and angry for not being more careful, and angry I would throw so many calories away on crap like that.
I went over my calories for the day by 56 - so, so, so unhappy about it.
I feel so disgusted right now. In 6 weeks I haven't felt this crappy or this disappointed. I feel like I let myself down and I am mad. I am also just thinking "Hey, your big milestone is in sight...so, sure....do everything possible to sabotage it Connie!".
This just sucks.
AND, bottom line....
It was so not worth it.
Hi Connie! The biggest problem with carbs is that they cause cravings. If you make a little commitment to yourself each morning to avoid the carbs (and then start your day without any carbs), you'll end up *not* needing a huge dose of willpower later in your day because the cravings won't be there.<<That is the big secret of eating much less. :D

Marion, I will say that I have been OK on cravings, but at the same time, I don't typically eat a ton of carbs. However, I am taking your advice and the last couple of days have been watching the carbs even more!! We will see how it all goes this Saturday!
DeleteUGH I have done that before! I hate that feeling! I try to add calories before I eat or during because I have made the mistake of doing it afterwards and regretting it big time.
ReplyDeleteRIGHT! So irritating! You know, lesson learned...move forward. I was clearly hormonal when I wrote the post above. Truly felt like the world was ending!
