[NSV] I've now been initiated to shark week, but I won this round

Whelp, it finally happened. After my days of FREAKING OUT about the 3lb upward jump, shark week came, birth control be damned. And holy shit, this is the worst. Symptoms I haven't had in years (because of BC) came back x 10. Migraine: check. Cramps so awful I can't walk and just lie in bed, crying, despite a handful of advil: check. Unrelenting back pain: check. Mood swings to rival even the most emotionally unbalanced: check. And of course, the cravings.

I found myself surfing the web, looking for some carby delicious takeout, because like hell was I going to cook a meal! And then I made myself be accountable and look at the nutritional info, which served as a nice shock to the system.... and after a bit of internal debate, I put the computer down and made some holy-grail pizza. Yes, I may have eaten almost the entire thing in one sitting, BUT even an entire holy grail pizza was about 1/5th the net carbs of 1 serving of any of the naughty things I was looking at, and I came in at about net 30g carbs yesterday, despite the worst symptoms I think I've ever had.

So, thank you self control, and thank you the inventor of holy grail pizza because you kept me from going off the rails.

tl;dr: Despite the horrors of sharkweek, I managed to make (semi) good food choices - winning!
