IS AIR A CARB?
Yes, that is two Mean Girls references in 2 days. I win. This is how I feel right now! All I want is pizza! I went to make my Lean Cuisine Steamers for lunch and there was a box of bagels from Dunkin Donuts just sitting in the cafeteria for anyone to grab. And I thought, you know what? Let me go eat at my desk. Small victory.
I am allowed 100g of carbohydrates per day. Do you know how many grams of carbs are in one slice of bread? 48. Do you know how many are in a bagel? 98. I could get one bagel. But, I could have all the rest of the 1000 calories I get to eat daily in cream cheese. Cream cheese is fine. Because 1 cup of cream cheese only has 9g of carbohydrates. Screw my heart, shrink that liver! If I ever ate that, I think I'd have a heart atttttaccckkkkahhhhhhh. Note, that is what I change the lyrics to every time I hear that song.
Mentally, I'm fine. I even worked out last night. I went for a 20 minute jog/walk and did a few sets of weights and burned 1/2 of the calories that I'd consumed at that time. I'm ok now, but I think it's only a matter of time before I start envisioning people as carbohydrates. Guess who I'm jealous of/is my hero of the week?
