Weight loss insanity

Saying yes to the skinny jeans by saying no to the donuts.  ~Betsy Cañas Garmon

Saying no to the donuts isn't an issue for me.  I can take or leave a donut.  As you might know, I have a problem saying no to the chocolate chip cookies and to the carbohydrates. 

Sunday, I decided to say no to the processed carbohydrates for the month of May.  Why did I decide to do something so insane?  Because I have completely lost my mind.  The reason for my insanity was the realization that if I didn't do something drastic and intense I was not going to reach my weight loss goal by Memorial Day.  

I promised myself I wasn't going to do this again. I was not going to fret about a goal. I wasn't going to be obsessive about reaching a goal by a certain time. I wasn't... but here I am ...fretting, obsessing and driving myself crazy. 

After polishing off about thirty tortilla chips and the chicken fajita salad including the tortilla shell it came in this evening, I realized perhaps the idea of eliminating carbohydrates was not a wise decision.  So enough the madness, I am going back to a sensible diet complete with a chocolate chip cookie now and then.
