Ed Levine's Serious Diet Week 33: Trying to Put the Kibosh on Unworthy Calories
I've decided that certain foods and their calories are beneath me. Bad 100-calorie packs of faux snack foods and even regular Chips Ahoy insult my palate and my intelligence, and jeopardize my longevity and continued good health. So I'm going to try to quit ingesting wasted calories cold turkey.
No more light, no more Oreos, no more generic crap that satisfies my basest, most wanton cravings. Up with deliciousness in all its forms, down with easily accessible reduced calorie junk food.
I arrived at this inescapable conclusion yesterday. I will have a ritual cleansing of my pantry this morning, throwing out boxes of 100-calorie bags of Sensible Portions Multi Grain Mini Crisps I bought a few days ago. Of course, all this will not have any effect on my weigh-in this morning. But it may help me in the future. The weigh-in, after the jump.
The scale is not being kind to me today. I weigh 248. Wait 'til next week.
