A huge goal of mine is to lower the amount of unnecessary things I am putting in my body. One of these things is carbohydrates. Yes, you do need carbs in order to survive. However, I feel like I'm addicted to them.
I could eat pasta, bread, and rice all day... everyday. My stomach is a bottomless pit, and I feel like part of this is because of how many carbs I eat everyday. Cutting out bad carbs isn't going to be easy, but I really need to do it. I'm always exhausted, and I feel like part of the reason is because of the crash I get after I eat a ton of carbs.
This week I've been trying to stay away from bread, and it hasn't been easy. I slipped up earlier today and ate a PB&J sandwich. My friend, Rachel, and I took her kids and the girls I nanny on a picnic, and it just seemed like it was the right thing to do. From now on, though, I'll have to find a replacement. I could have easily brought a piece of chicken (protein-- YUM!) with us, and ate that instead.
I haven't completely cut out pasta or starches yet, but I need to do this in a slow and steady way so I don't feel deprived of them. Whenever I've tried limiting the amount of carbohydrates I consume in the past it was in a "cold-turkey" way, and it didn't work at all!
I'm trying to come up with a list of good carbs, so if you have any suggestions leave them in the comments!
