I'll Have The Curry.

Day 9: I hate potato chips When I got home from work, I did a big no-no and binge ate a bunch of plantain chips. (They are Whole30 approved, but that doesn't make it ok!)  I was really hungry and tired at the same time, so it was so easy to sit on the couch and shove the chips into my mouth.

Physiologically, I  need to make sure I feel progress or else I'll be more likely to quit. I'll just call this my Whole 40! I was incredibly tired by the end of the day.  It was really intense.
