Kara\’s Diet Journey

This is just something that happened to me tonight that I thought I’d write about.  It really frustrated me, so I thought I could vent and hopefully get it off my mind.
Well, I ate meat for the first time since I started June 8th.  We barbecued chicken (it wasn’t actually barbecue chicken, it was just seasoned chicken breasts).  I had that and made some butter beans and one of my sweet potatoes.  I even treated myself and had a Coke Zero.  It was like a real meal!!!  Then my stepmom called.  She is on Nutrisystem.  She is one of those people who really likes to criticize what everybody else does and put what she does on a pedestal.  Well, she asked what I had made for dinner (she likes to act like I’m a horrible woman because I don’t cook every night for Ryan when I’m dieting).  I told her what I’d had, and she started criticizing it for all the starches.  She was like “Are you sure you can eat all those starches and carbs?”  I was like, “Yes, I’m sure.”  I mean, pretty much all she eats on Nutrisystem is carbs!!!  And besides, I am eating on plan and I have only had 3 sweet potatoes since I started this diet!!!  Did I do something wrong with my eating that you guys noticed?  Or did it seem Fat Smash appropriate?  I mean, I doubt I would’ve lost the weight I’ve lost if I’m not allowed to have the carbs.  I think she’s one of those people that thinks that carbs are the devil, and if you eat them at any time, they are terrible.  I haven’t eaten any white carbs since I started.  OK, so enough about that-please just give me some advice here and tell me if you think I did ok.  As far as I know, I didn’t do anything wrong!!!

Thanks guys for your continued support!!!
