Journaling
I've just read that journaling is supposed to help one to lose weight - by tracking their blood glucose levels and making them aware of what they eat and, perhaps more importantly, why they eat. I'm game to give this a try. I know that I have issues with food. When I was growing up, I always felt like I needed to keep things inside, stay calm. Food helped with that. I could 'stuff' feelings in with food. On top of that, my mom was an excellent cook, but not very good at expressing emotions. She loved us with food.
I have an unhealthy relationship with food. I remember one time when I had gone to see a therapist to deal with depression. We talked about my mom, among other things, I cried, etc., etc. When I left there, guess where I went? If you guessed a fast food drive-thru, DING DING DING! You WIN!! It was a compulsion...I had to get something to eat to "stuff" those bad feelings down. It worked...as it always had...and I did not go back to the therapist.
So, I know I need to deal with my food issues. My journal, FatGirl 200, will hopefully help with this process.
Everyone have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend. Sweetie and I will be working at the farm tomorrow - he will be mowing; my sister in law and I will be removing sheets of corrugated galvanized metal from an old shed we pushed over.

A Good Day...
Sweetie and I got our oversize scale delivered today! It has a remote display, 8 user memory, remembers the last 10 weigh ins and allows each use to set a goal weight. And you know what the best part is?? It keeps track of how much you still need to lose to reach your goal!!! NO MORE MATH!! :-D
I am down .8lb since the dr. visit. My blood sugar was 191 this morning. We went out for breakfast and I had a veggie omelet, wheat toast, 1/2 cinnamon roll and coffee. I waited until almost 1:00 before getting lunch; by then I was feeling shaky. I thought it would be a good idea to check my blood sugar...76!!! Somewhat scary. I drank a few sips of Dr. K, ate my ham & cheese sandwich (on wheat bread) and baked cheese puffs. I guess the glucovance is kicking in!
