Day 11 PM


Today is day 11 of my 40 days - 40 carbs - 40 prayers.

Today a good friend of mine returned from her vacation. I learned a great piece of news, that turned out to be extremely uplifting. Unknown to me, Jello is a low-carbohydrate snack. It has to be sugar free jello. I had no idea. I rushed to my fridge where my daughter had some jello, and it was the greatest treat. Cool whip is also low carb, so a bit of jello with whipped cream made a special, and unexpected desert today.

Now for the confession. I am tired of fasting. I am tired of the restrictions of this diet. There is a Sonic Drive-In not far from my house, and I can't drive by it without yearning for a burger and fries. Now I can have the burger, just without bread or fries. Then there is my true love of food, the pepperoni pizza. Which I can have the pepperoni, the cheese, and a half cup of sauce. I just can't have the crust. What would be the point of that?

Can you imagine the guy at Dominos taking that order? Sir, can I have a pepperoni pizza with no crust?
