The Ugly Truth

I love carbs. Sometimes it's almost impossible to stop eating them once I start. Tonight I ate 8 corn tortillas.. 6 of them with nothing on them. If I don't portion out things first, I will eat whole bags of pretzels, chips, popcorn...pasta, rice, french fries. Don't even get me started on bread... especially sourdough baguettes.

I truly believe that carbs are what is hindering my weight loss effort... but i can't not have them. It's just not an option for me. So, what do I do? I try to weigh and measure things out first. Then I put them in baggies by serving size and make sure I know what the points are BEFORE I eat them.

So, tonight, after my tortillas...well, I didn't have anything else. But I really want pie. I think there is something else going on though. I mean, between the depression and the insomnia and the cravings... I'm either getting sick, just dealing with depression, or pms'ing. Hopefully I'll pull it together by next week.
