Day 57: Stupid Stupid Stupid Cheater

Without question, I have been grumpy for the past three days.  I feel bloated again, and I've been surprised that the scale hasn't shown that yet.  I've had the munchies, but I've avoided the forbidden foods...until tonight.  I had plenty to eat for dinner, yet I munched on some cashews, some swiss cheese, and some more cashews, but they just weren't satisfying my desire for CRUNCH.  And then I spied them...lonely on the pantry shelf, an unopened bag of Snapea Crisps that I picked up at the grocery store without reading the label carefully enough.  See, I noticed that they only had 1 g of Sugar ('Duh,' I thought.  'They're PEAS.')  and I checked to make sure that they had no hydrogenated oils.  I knew they weren't going to be the healthiest option on the planet, but I was pleased to have figured out a new snack to mix it up a bit.  What I didn't notice at the time was that the third ingredient listed on the label was rice and that they had 14 g of carbs per serving.  Doh!  So tonight, although I was aware that I had at least another week before I would be able to add some starch to my diet, the PMS won out, and I had some Snapea Crisps.  Sadly, they were not as good as I remember.  Even more sadly, I ate the entire serving I had prepared for myself anyway.  Happily, I did not refill my bowl (or eat any out of the bag!).  I don't know if I'll see the cheat on the scale tomorrow, but I feel heavy with the weight of my stupidity.  Ugh.  All I can do now is move on and not let it happen again!
