    • ]]>     Yes, I failed my first day of “cutting back” on carbs. I actually failed MISERABLY. The day started off well. I had my usual morning bowl of oatmeal with fat free milk. Lunch came around and I snacked on string cheese and a half cup of Fritos Chili Cheese Corn Chips. Then, around 10PM or so, “boo” and I hit up the drive-thru at Jack in the Box.

    1,565 calories and 128g of carbs later*… I decided I didn’t feel guilty. I mean, I felt physically ill. Who wouldn’t?! But I decided that I wouldn’t kick myself in the you-know-what because I failed my first attempt at this. I’ve been dealing with a lot of emotional issues in the last couple of weeks which I’ll talk about in another post when I’m ready, so this will all start to make sense to you all. Like Tina A, I’ve been hosting a pity party, but mine has been going on since January. I’m not proud of it, but I’ve accepted that I can’t change things over night.

    As Lucy said, I’m not going to let it stop me. Today is a new day and I’m taking another stab at it. I’m confident I’ll get better.

    * These numbers are according to MyFitnessPal.com and have NOT been altered. Although “boo” and I split everything in half, these numbers refer to what we EACH ate, making our grand total twice that. Pretty darn gross, right?
