I had to take control. It was like a leaky roof. That hole was only gonna get bigger. Except for me that hole was the foothold that diabetes was going to have if I gained any more weight. Everytime you take in carbs the body is producing insulin. I was taking in copious carbs, thus copious insulin. All that insulin adds fat to the waistline, but worse that that, it starts slowly changing the cellular structure of the body.
I do not want to have to take medications.
I don't want to say at age 60, "if only I knew then....." I have to stop it now.
I'm not hungry right now, but I am longing to stuff my gob with something. That's pretty much the habit I fell into this past year. Lots of stuffing of the face and why? I don't even know. Mostly a bad habit.
Today I had two eggs scrambled with tomato, feta cheese, and veggie sausage. Later I had a salad with some turkey meat on it and 2 cheese sticks. My snack was some kale chips.
So for nine days I won't be drinking. I finally think I am getting it with regards to alcohol. If it isn't gourmet, it isn't worth it (same thing for dessert). I bought a wine I used to like and found it tasted cheap and vinegary. As for beer. My new favorite was Shock Top wheat IPA with coriander and orange peel. It's like this special treat to have it and after two that is totally all you want.
But for nine days, no carbs.
Wish me luck!
