Carbaholic

So my very long workday is finally over, and I've made it through another day at the office full of wonderful food.  Now I know why I've gained 15 lbs in the 2 years since I've started this job, all we do is eat.  With the odd second shift hours someone is always ordering in dinner, and then there is the team building exercise of the dreaded food day where 20 people all bring in a dish which is usually a desert or a dip, (and the odd veggie plate which is usually shoved in the corner and quickly forgoten) and all you do all day long is eat and much and eat some more.  Anyway, made through another day at work and only one more day till the weekend!!

I did realize today as I went through day 3 of my new meal plan which is higher in protein and lower in carbs, that I am a carbaholic, everything I crave and love about food involves carbs.  I love all things pasta, I'm pretty sure that I was Italian in a past life. I'm just having a really hard time adjusting to this new food routine.  Before I was focusing mainly on just my calorie intake, but since that really hasn't worked so I'm trying to pay just as much attention on my protein and carbs as well.  I didn't mind the calorie counting, but I'm having a harder time enjoying much of anything now, and find myself craving everything that is completely unhealthy. 

If this is going to work for me I defintely need to find some new recipes, so if anyone has any suggestions, or websites, anything would help:)
