so, today was filled with protein... had eggs for breakfast, then snacked on celery with mozz string cheese, then lunch was london broil and broccoli with garlic... then i had 30 pistachios like i was allotted... wait... make that 29
why?
well, at work - they all know that i started the diet...
okay.
anyway i was savouring the pistachios - slowly. i had counted out 30 nuts this morning and put them in a ziplock to take to work.
at one point i said outloud, "Man. i am down to my last 9 pistachios" in a sad voice.
all of a sudden i hear, "Can I have one?"
crap. you have to be kidding me. i didn't just hear that from this one girl. maybe if i pretend i didn't hear her...
"Erin, can i have a pistachio. maybe you didn't hear me"
fucking hell. how rude. this girl's been eating chocolates and lollipops all fricking day and i have 30 goshdarned pistachios that i am guarding like i am on Survivor... yet she's pushing me.
my friend melissa says out loud to the girl "You're actually asking her to give up her pistachio - she just said she only has nine left and it's part of her diet"
the girl says "well, i just want one."
i say "fine. here" and i throw toss it at to her.
she says "don't throw it! i can't catch it!"
whatever. i fucking threw it. if you can't catch my lousy pistachio then maybe you don't deserve a pistachio.... hmmmmm?
fucking rude.
yes. this is the first day of my diet.
yes. i am cutting out carbs.
yes. i love carbs.
yes. the south beach diet phase I lasts 2 weeks (at least) and this means no carbs - potatoes, alcohol, etc. - til after thanksgiving.
yes. i am getting my "friend" next monday.
yes. i am most likely going to be in a mood.
yes. if anyone tries to horn in on my effing pistachios ever again (or any food i bring into the office for work) i will bite their heads off (and spit their heads out since it's not on the south beach plan)
*sigh*
this morning when i went into dunkin donuts, instead of ordering coffee with whole milk, i ordered it with skim and the 3 guys in their broken accents said "are you on diet?".... "you don't need diet"...
yes. i put money in their tip jar.
