Damn my metabolism and bad genes
Starting a dietary cleanse in the midst of one's, um, monthly cycle is not a good idea. Not only am I desperate for chocolate but I'm craving salty, crunchy food too. Thankfully I found rice crackers at the overpriced organic grocery store this weekend and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they don't taste like card stock. Yum.
Thankfully I'm only doing this cleanse one week and will reintroduce the salted nuts I'm allowed on the (amended) low carb diet. I say amended because I refuse to limit my fruit. And I think I'll let myself have bread a couple of times a week. But get this, I'm giving up red meat for a few months. We'll see how that goes. I'm like the queen of the cheeseburgers so this will certainly be a test of my character. I'll allow myself a turkey burger once in a while because a life without burgers is no life at all.
Meanwhile I have a dish of tropical Starbursts sitting a foot away from me and I'm being very strong right now. They're not heckling me yet but I fully expect taunting from those little, chewy pieces of joy by the end of the week.

I love WF- but not the prices!
Any taunting going on still?
A little taunting but I will prevail. WF has some great stuff and a salad bar unmatched by others. But yes, the prices are a bit extreme.
Good luck with the cleanse and new diet! And I don't think a little bread or a Starburst once in a while will do you in :)
I'll allow the bread next week. The Starbursts will have to wait until my monthly cheat day.
Try Morningstar's Black Bean burgers if you can find them, they're good, I promise! :)
