I BLEW IT/BINGED (or at least, it is a binge for me ... Mood
Sunday, November 16, 2008 | A Tragic story

What is a meal for most is a binge for me ...  boy did I blow it.   Last night I had a meal deal at a place called In and Out Burgers.  I had a cheeseburger, fries and 7-UP.  This morning I had a lot of a bread I purchased from an Asian supermarket near me.  It was a "cream cheese" bread ... and the rest of the 7-UP I had from the night before.  I wasn't feeling well and checked my BG and it was "587"... I took two Glucophage and 2 Glipizide and tried to use the treadmill, but my arms would not stop shaking inside and I could not hold on and went in to lay down.  I slept for 4 hours.  I believe I would have slept on, except my aunt came over ... she is only 4 years older than me.  More sisters than aunt and niece.  I told her what happened and she got mad and said she did not feel sorry for me, I did it to myself.  She is right.  My sugar was "197".  Went to the supermarket and on the way out the "fall" began.  I was weak and shaky and sweaty and had trouble breathing ... my partner began to panic.  "What do I do?"  "What do I do?", he was asking.  I grabbed a handful of change from my pocket while holding onto the shopping cart and he ran to get me a soda from the machine outside of the store.  I struggled to the car and sat down on a concrete edge in the parking lot and Freddy came running with a soda for me.  I drank about half of it ... OH BROTHER !!!! ONE EXTREME TO THE NEXT ... had a sandwich when I got home and am afraid to test my sugar ...

    You cant change ur binge so take a lesson from it & move on!! t2d sux, but not keeping control sux more. The lil voice in ur head that says 'poor me- i deservr to go off & how bad can it be' needs to be shushed. I do it by having 1 b ite & then occupying my hands & mouth away from the source. that sux!! but my fasting was 93 on my last bloodwork GK
    God Bless

WORKING AT IT -- REALLY HAVE TO CONCENTRATE Mood
Thursday, October 30, 2008 | A Frustrating story
OK, I JUST DO NOT SEEM TO COME BY THIS NATURALLY.  TRYING TO HELP MYSELF THAT IS.  I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME WONDERING AND WORRYING ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE AND THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY, I SIT BACK AND WONDER WHY I AM NOT ACCOMPLISHING MUCH.  BUT HAVE TURNED TO MOUNTAIN HIGH ORIGINAL YOGHURT - PLAIN.  AND IT SEEMS TO BE HELPING ME ... AND I LIKE IT.   EVEN MORE INTERESTING.  EVEN THOUGH I MESSED UP TODAY AND MY FASTING SUGAR WAS 314, BY NOON IT WAS 155.   DIDN'T EAT UNTIL THIS EVENING AND HAD YOGHURT WITH SOME THINLY, SEE THROUGH, TURKEY LUNCHMEAT.  PROBABLY TOO MUCH SODIUM IN THAT.  GOTTA GO NOW, WORKED ALL DAY HELPING A FRIEND PAINT AND MY RIGHT RING FINGER IS CAUSING ME SOME REALLY BAD PAIN.  WONDER WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT ... ONE MORE THING TO DEAL WITH .... I WILL KEEP ON KEEPING ON AND HOPE TO SUCCEED AT SOMETHING ... THANKS FOR LENDING AN EAR ...

    If ur #s are improving & you kno why, ur heading in the right direction. I must resist the urge to participate in the uber fattening rituals of the nxt 2 months. I picked fridays as the night to go a lil crazy on food but not much 'cause i learned to enjoy losing weight &waking up hungry but feeling good
    God Bless
