All I can think about...

Every fleeting thought, whether full or incomplete. snippets as I call them, revolve around the thought of one day being "able". Day five of Nutrisystem, and for the first time in a couple of years, I'm under 300 lbs.  300 lbs.. how.. why did I do this to myself. Getting through last night was a lot easier than it has been for days.  Unfortunately, it's still early in the afternoon and I'm hungry.  it's ok though because l still have two fruit and two protein servings that I didn't have earlier in the day. I'll try to follow the same formula as last night..  the nutrisystem biscotti is saved for  an absolute, can't sleep way of putting something in my stomache.  Since I know this will happen regardless of what I eat during the day.. it's safe to take that big shot of Insulin right before I close my eyes and prepare for the hungries with something healthy.  I really worry about the exercise.  I tried the day before yesterday.  I got off about 15 minutes on the Star trac at only 58 rpms on level 2.  Yesterday I did less on the bike, but did some leg lifts and more around the house..  I'm washing dishes and doing laundry in shifts, resting in between.  I can't wait to regain some stamina! Accomplishment::  Walked around the house to water the garden rather than doing it from the porch. Chores:  2 loads of laundry, getting dishes done that the kids left for me and about to make dinner.  Reward:  Chatting with an old friend from high school tonight at 9:30. Question:  Is insulin stimulating hunger? Thanks for indulging me! Be Blessed L

Welcome to TWOterville!

keep eating all that you are supposed to - dont skimp.   drink drink drink! as for the diabetes questions someone else will have to help.  Do you have a doc you see regularly?  It seems to me (an outsider and total layperson) that your diabetes is not well controlled and taking care of that may be the first issue... tomorrow's exercise??  Butt kicking.  Get those kids of yours to do SOMETHING for themselves!  You arent doing them OR you any favors by letting them get away with this.
