Lard

Thursday I went to see the doctor about my sinus face. She confirmed that I did indeed have a sinus infection and while I was there it was also confirmed that I weigh 23 lbs heavier than I did at our wedding, one year ago. Yikes!

So, I decided to follow my Moms suggestion and start the South Beach Diet. (No comments about anti-low-carb-diets needed). So far I have been low carb since Thursday night and today I finally feel normal. I am not suffering from being crabby or insane chocolate cravings. It was a long weekend though. Saturday night I dreamt that I was eating a huge piece of coffee cake smothered in syrup. (Yuck) Sunday night I dreamt that I was in a game show and the object of the game was to run around a grocery store and eat as much chocolate as I could in a set amount of time. (Not so yuck....) I have never been a sweets/dessert person. Ever. The only explanation for these dreams is the fact that I have been withdrawing from sugar. It terrorized me all weekend long.

The good news is that on Monday I got on the scale at home and it said I weighed 7 lbs less than I did on Thursday. I personally think that's ridiculous and I believe it's impossible to lose fat that quickly but it made me feel good, no less. So on I go!
