low blood sugar diet and weight gain

I don't use protein shakes, though this morning I had a mango banana w/ protein from Starbucks, as they don't keep me full past an hour or so. When I'm being a good girl (which I've been trying to be more often of late) I have hardboiled eggs w/ string cheese for breakfast; cottage cheese, tuna, string cheese, and crackers for lunch, and whatever for dinner, heavier on the meat than on other stuff. When I'm really good I don't snack. When I do snack, and I'm doing good, it's string cheese or beef jerky.

You don't want to know what I eat when I'm not following plan. My 3 meals tend to be fairly the same, but I snack on all sorts of junk I shouldn't. I'd like to lose 5-10 lbs to get back to my maintenance weight range so I walk/ride with my dog M-F for 30-40 minutes and I'm trying to do better on the snacking. Being diagnosed with an ulcer has added some ump behind the attempt. :o)

i have to find something that gets my day off to a good start that seems to be the thing that blows the day for me.
i am going to try cottage cheese over the weekend and see how that goes
thanks again for your help

hope the ulcer gets betterwill that go away?

The doctor said that it can heal itself. The next 6 weeks will tell if the pain I've been having is an ulcer & if it heals. If the pain doesn't go away then I get scoped and we see what we'll see.

I also understand your pain and frustration over this type of weight gain, etc.  I would like to just voice an opinion on the lemon in your water.  I believe the lemon has no bearing on your sugar cravings; what-so-ever.  Splenda and other sweetners can cause your pancreas and other organs to think they are receiving real sugar; thus, cravings begin.  A lemon is "bitter" and I cannot fathom how it would ever cause a person to pick up a candy bar or a pint of ice cream and indulge.  However, if someone has "scientific" proof that this is indeed the case, please post in reply.  I am always open to being corrected!

thanks -- i think it is the caffine-- reallys tarted to craved mu junk when i started drinking iced tea all day long
