The diet starts again, tomorrow

I was so good at dieting for so long, but I've been cheating on my diet nonstop since Friday night. Here, in chronological order, are the bad things that I have eaten.

1. Cornbread;
2. Chili;
3. Breadsticks;
4. Mrs. Fields oatmeal raisin cookie;
5. Half of my mom's brownie;
6. Pizza;
7. Mini quiche;
8. Penne in vodka sauce;
9. Wedding cake;
10. Colored rock sugar;
11. Mints;
12. Rye toast;
13. Plain M&Ms;
14. Pizza and cheesesticks;
15. Special K bar;
16. Brown rice;
17. Milk chocolate Hershey bar with almonds;
18. Leftover pizza and cheesesticks;
19. Special K bar;
20. Wild rice;
21. Peanut M&Ms;
22. Linguine with mushrooms;
23. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup; and
24. Kit Kat.

(Amongst these unhealthy things I have had a total of three salads, a few bites of steak, and a crabcake.)

It should surprise no one when I admit that I feel like total crap. I'm sure it's because I've gotten so used to not eating junk food that my body can't handle it anymore -- at least not all at once or in these kind of quantities.

So, I am done with the junk food, as of right now. I will not be buying candy tomorrow, even if it is on clearance. I will not be eating any candy that anyone brings into the office or even into my apartment. And I am totally over pizza and pasta.

White flour and sugar are, once again, the enemy.

Wait, that menu sounded AWESOME (she says while shoving for mini Milky Ways into her mouth)!

I know, right?

Seriously, I am not opposed to a little bit of junk food every once in a while. I mean, this world would be a pretty crappy place to live in if there were no chocolate or cookies or pizza ever.

I just can't stay on this version of the all-carbs-all-the-time diet. So I'm going to go cold turkey for a couple of days, figuratively and literally (guess what I had for lunch?).

I can relate, especially around the holidays. Hang in there and fight the urge to eat the junk.

BTW the penne in vodka sounds delish. I must try that.

dara said...

Vodka sauce is amazing. It's the only pasta sauce that I absolutely love.

Mmmmmmm...cornbread.

That list is just like what I ate yesterday, except substitute "mini-Reese's Nutrageous bars" for items 1-23.

TINGB: Nutrageous is yummy, but the name is just silly. The Hershey Co. could do so much better.

And I miss your blog!

I thought the ridiculous name would be an external limitation on my consumption. I was wrong.

I had to take the blog underground, and I wanted to invite you but couldn't find a direct e-mail on your blog. I'll send you an invitation, though -- e-mail me at timeillnevergetback@yahoo.com and I can let you in!
