ARGH.

[apocalypsos]

Number of ways today has sucked:

1. Dentist visit! Granted, my dentist is awesome and all he did was do a cast for my crown, but STILL.

2. I deleted three hundred words or so of dialogue from Heroine Addiction because it was pissing me off.

3. Apparently God is trying to tell the entire country that ignoring and/or getting all apologetic over that DHS "dangerous right-wing crackpots" report a few months back was a bad fucking idea.

4. After going grocery shopping using my mom's new list of stuff she's allowed to eat now that she can't have fat or carbs in an attempt to lose enough weight so that I can fit back into my clothes again, I found out that I'm apparently the last person in my family to go on a diet.

5. I don't know enough about knitting to buy the pattern for this and make a bunch of 'em for my mom's birthday, and I can't afford to buy the yarn anyway.

6. The only creative step forward I've made all day is figuring out how to portion out a huge package of chicken breasts for single meals and arrange it in my freezer without being pelted with foil-wrapped chicken every time I open the door.

7. It was the last day of school today. From now on this summer, the local kids will be crawling all over town screaming and being rat bastards at all hours. I'm not even joking. (I swear I need a lawn if only so that I can threaten kids who won't get off it.)

Trust me, no matter what you do, you will be pelted with frozen chicken whenever you open the freezer. It's like there's gnomes or goblins or something living in the freezer that move things around and booby trap it. It's like the ones that steal socks out of the dryer, only more violent. *solemn nod*

Hopefully this isn't unwelcome advice, if it is then I do apologize.... I do low-carb as well and most people get better results on a low-carb, high fat diet than low-carb, low-fat. I generally eat around 60%ish fat, 30%ish protein and 5% ish carbs by percentage of calories. And so if you have any encouragement or questions, it's become a bit of my hobby to keep up to date with all the latest research on things. Do be warned... it can take your body awhile to adjust to burning fat (either your own or from food) more than burning glucose, so if you feel like shit for several weeks, don't give up... it doesn't mean you're going to hurt yourself... it's totally normal and speaking as a sugar addict myself, it's basically drug withdrawal, which makes sense given all the research on sugar and wheat having opiate like effects in our brain. I avoid those two absolutely, completely, no matter if a couple croutons doesn't add up to that many carbs.

"Get off my imaginary lawn", perhaps? :)
