Carbs will rock you
My spiral into carb gluttony began this morning, when I remembered that there still was no milk in the refrigerator. For me, milk is breakfast. Its necessity is symbolic. Without it, I lapse into diet doldrums. It matters not that I consume milk while breakfasting (which commonly involves cereal), but it’s imperative that it’s an option. It’s my motivator.
So today, I set myself on a crazed binge that — eight hours into my day — I still cannot break.
My diet (thus far) for Sept. 7, 2007:
53 Parmesan & Garlic Cheez-It crackers
4 slices of homemade cinnamon-sugar toast
2 of Gus’ handrolled, salted pretzels
2 tablespoons of mild cheddar cheese dip
As I write this blog entry, my cousin, No. 1219, informed me that she’s lost 20 pounds since March. The irony.
