Carb Addict
Feb 18, 2011
I think the hardest part of this process so far is the low (almost no) carb diet I'm on. I never realized how addicted I am to carbs until I couldn't have them anymore. All of my favorite foods are carbs: bread, pasta, potatoes...not to mention sweets. And man, I miss the crunch. It seems like nothing I'm allowed to eat is crunchy. I thought it would be easier than it is. I thought I'd want them, but not this badly. I think about carbs all day long...I see them everywhere. I'm being good, but man it's so freaking hard! They're all around me. Yesterday, everyone at work had boxes and boxes of Girl Scout cookies. I didn't order any, and I didn't eat any (even though I was offered). But I felt like an alcoholic working in a bar. What I wouldn't give for a jelly donut! But I know what I wouldn't give...my chance to have this surgery and save my life. Every time I look at that cookie or plate of fettucine, I try to remind myself of all that I'm gaining. It's a sacrifice...a big sacrifice for me. But to me, it's a worthy sacrifice.
