I came |THIS| close to quitting my keto diet today. I don't know what happened but I just woke up and something in me snapped. The idea of consuming one more egg or egg white just enraged me. Why the hell am I eating this crap if the scale's not going to move! I actually had to text Shane to ask what an alternative to eating eggs was b/c if I eat one more egg I think I might hurl myself down a flight of steps. Dramatic? Maybe. You eat the same exact thing every day for 2 1/2 weeks and tell me how you feel.
After much verbal, out-loud deliberation with several friends and colleagues, Johanna was the only one to talk me off the ledge. "NO!! You've come so far! You've already made it over halfway through to your cheat meal day! Don't give up now! You're so close! I won't let you quit on my watch!!" She was just so enthusiastic about me sticking with it that I finally decided she's right. And giving up at the stage of the game will have wasted all the effort I've put in thus far. Only a few days ago I was talking about how easy this keto diet was because I was seeing results. Now that I see nothing, I'm getting frustrated so easily and finally starting to feel the burden of a lack of variety in my diet. But I won't quit. I will not have wasted almost three weeks for nothing! I refuse!
Now, because my eggs were trying to kill me this morning, I'm starving because I neglected to eat at least half of my breakfast. So all day, even though I've eaten my other two meals in full, I feel ravenous. I have work at the theater tonight, so I doubt i'll have the energy to hit the gym afterward.
*Sigh* Oh motivation. You have forsaken me today.
