You know when you've had too much Holiday Sweets...

When you are experiencing CARB withdrawals!!!  Last year, I previously went on a Diet that helped me reset my metabolism.  It worked really well......I lost close to 40 lbs.....but I know I need about 15 more lbs to shed...especially after feasting on the Holiday treats and yummy goodness this past season.  Well...I'm on day 2 of this Hell Diet.....it doesn't matter if you want to lose 5, 15 or 40 lbs....the protocol is the same.....and this time around after the holidays....I'm seriously suffering from HEADACHES.  From what I've been told...this is quite normal....but it seriously strikes a chord when you read that the Body goes into carb withdrawals because it has become acclimated to consuming Bad Carbohydrates for Energy (all those cupcakes filled w/ cheesecake, cookies, cinnamon rolls...hawaiian sweet rolls...you get the point!)  From what I've read....My Body has been so use to eating so much yummy Carb-Ohs...that now that I'm attempting to go cold-turkey and start eating healthy....My body is physically having withdrawals.  I'm so irritable right now (don't even try to talk to me)....and being on a restricted diet, I have cravings, I have some hunger pains...and I'm seriously looking at our cats differently (Just a joke people....I know..that's just sick isn't it...Jason cracks up thinking one day he will come home and we've lost a pet).

 I've told Jason that I seriously want to quit after the 1st day of this restricted diet...and I want so bad to be happy and eat whatever I want to.....and that if HE IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY I LOOK....then he isn't happy that I'm his wife (Get the song choice on my playlist?).  Yes I said it...but of course Jason is just laughing about it...he's not taking me seriously....with this self-inflicted torture of Dieting. I'm speaking from dieting delirium right now....I know that if I truly stick with it honestly (like I did the first time last year), in the end I will be a lot healthier. I need to start thinking of this diet as a MOCK Emergency Preparedness for FAMINE. If I was only given so much food to eat...would I survive?  Probably..... Seriously though....once these headaches go away...it will be much easier.  Forgive me if you run into me sometime this week and I'm a little snippy....It's because I'm hungry...so watch out I might bite your finger off.  Anyway....If food hasn't been so easily accessible/available, plentiful, delicious, and a HUGE part of social customs, we wouldn't be so concerned about our waistlines.  Time to lifestyle change again and go back to learning how to eat sparingly. I have 22 more days to go...so wish me luck!
