Low Carb Hell

So, I would like to invite you all on my journey through starvation.
A.K.A. Low Carb Dieting.

This is my second day on this diet, and though for the first couple weeks of doing this, you're allowed around 30 carbs, I'm trying to be extreme and completely go cold turkey.
To say the least, it's hard. You know why you lose so much weight on these low carb diets?
You have like 5 choices of things to eat. No, I'm not being dramatic. EVERYTHING has carbs in it.
Now, I totally plan on incorporating good carbs into my diet again in a couple weeks, once I've dropped some pounds and gotten used to this whole cleansing my body of bad stuff....however, it's only the second day, and I feel like an Ethiopian kid.

What can you eat on this diet? Well, breakfast is easy, eggs and some kind of meat. But let's talk about the rest of the day. Steak? Ham? Turkey, maybe? Some roast beef? A salad?

Oh sure, you can go through the McDonald's drive thru looking like an idiot by ordering a Double cheeseburger without the bun. No thanks. I've always made fun of ppl like this, and I WILL not do it.

Pretty much, it's impossible to take in ZERO carbs in a 24-hour period. It just can't be done and a person actually be able to eat. You can't even eat a friggin banana because it's got like 27 carbs!

Breathe. This is my second day. I'm drinking just coffee and water.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I won't cut beer or liquor out of the equation. Just ain't happenin'.

I am going to have to break down and have a diet coke today. A BIG one. It's just one....Ha, that's like a crack addict saying, "just one line! Just ONE!"

I got to lose 15 pounds. That's what this health website is telling me is healthy for my height. Plus, I got a bathing suit picked out for the summer for the KEYS (yeah, that's right. I'm going to the KEYS! I love you, mama!) and I have a wedding to attend in May, in which my friend getting married said, "Tab, I want you to still be single. My fiance has a ton of single guy friends who want to meet you."

And I really just want my ass to stop trying to eat all my pants.

Stay tuned. I'm weighing tomorrow, we'll see how much water I flushed out with this starvation, ahem, I mean "low carb health diet".

Keep my thyroid in your prayers.
