Good Morning

[joylael]

Well as many of you may remember back in March I found out I have diabetes. I have been doing well, although I stay tired most of the time, but doctor said that was normal. Now the good news is that I am down to 113 lbs. I haven't been this small in over 20 years. Whopee I finally went and bought some new clothes as all my co-workers have been

Congrats on losing weight and taking care of your diabetes as well... My family has diabetes all around, so I should watch myself... I dont eat too much starches or sugars so I hope I'll be ok. : /
I wish I could be 113 again or even near it, but maybe after this baby is born I'll be going to the gym and really working on it :D

Oh A Baby

Congrats on the baby! Hope things go well for you and your family!

Primarily I have lost the weight by keeping down the carbs. I can eat 30 carbs for three main meals and then 15 for snacks. Drinking losts of water, too. I still miss my Dr. Pepper's on occassion, though. But if I try and cheat and eat or drink something I shouldn't, I get such a horrible headache and really feel weird, so it isn't worth it to cheat.

Hugs!

well they are starting to make drinks w/the splenda now... diet coke w/splenda and diet pepsi... and I guess altogether the diet drinks have no sugars maybe? but splenda is supposed to be better/good for diabetes that's what I use now, just b/c I dont want to gain anymore than necessary LOL
Yep, a new baby, due in Jan, on the 6th and this is our 3rd and last so I'm trying to enjoy it all the way :D
