10 Lies You Will Tell Yourself When You Quit Carbs
2. Bread Is Not That Great Anyway
You friends have asked you to stop talking about how good you feel now that you've quit carbs but the thing is, you can't help being evangelical. Especially about how easy it's been to quit bread, that most pervasive of carbs. You've drunk the (sugar-free) Kool-Aid and seen the light. Just because you've spent your whole life worshipping at the altar of bread, doesn't mean that it's a good altar. You haven't even missed it! You never think about it! That's why you're talking about it all the time! Because you don't care about it at all! Bread is like an ex you're glad you broke up with. You're deleting bread's number and removing bread on Facebook. You're not jealous when you see other people eating bread because you're seeing new foods now, foods like lettuce and unsweetened yoghurt and you have NEVER BEEN HAPPIER. Sure, you and bread had good times but bread was bad for you and, again, you barely give it a thought these days, but you just think your friends would be happier if they dumped bread too, why can't they see that you're trying to help?
