eat healthily

I’ve lost so much weight that my clothes just don’t fit. I hat to go on a buying binge and it took forever to figure out what size I really am now. Apparently I’m 2 sizes smaller. And shrinking.

God bless my diabetes medicine!

since I’m back in the States. It’s hard to travel and be diabetic, and the problem I had the most was getting low blood sugar (probably from the increased exercise).

Also, I’ve been enjoying cooking. I made chicken salad over the weekend, adapted for a very low calorie diet. Same thing with chicken soup. And Tipton County cavier (cold black-eye pea salad). And regular mixed salad.

Tomorrow? A roast and tabouli….

while I was overseas. I had trouble getting as much protein, and I wound up relying on carbs pretty heavily to keep my blood sugar up. To my surprise, though, my weight was right on target this morning.

low today, in weight, that is.

and I discovered this morning that the new jeans I bought in a smaller size are now too big.

And I just bought them.

and a pants size. Pretty close to 20 pounds lost.

and I’m in good shape. Lots of fruits. Water crackers and reduced-fat peanut butter for snacks. Low-fat yogurt and cheese. Lean cuisines. Coffee. Lots of water.

Life is good.

has finally convinced me that I’m 2 sizes smaller on top and one on bottom (the waist is my hardest area).

Well!

Dieting works!

about 18 pounds so far—- enough to begin to make a difference in clothes. Not bad, considering the steriods I was taking not so long ago. But I need to go to the store tomorrow so I can get some decent food. I’m down to the children’s cookies, which don’t even taste good!

of 16.5 lbs so far.
