Today has been a pretty good day as far as diet is concerned. Some days I eat more and then some less. I have discovered coffee after all these years. My daughter drinks it and I WAS drinking that sugar free cappucino you buy at wally world. I THOUGHT it said 3 carbs per serving and was drinking about 4 cups a day and trying to stay really low with everything else I was eating. Boy did I read that wrong. Guess thats what happens when the eye sight starts to go. It has 8 carbs, ugh. Anyway, switched to coffee (weak coffee) and using splenda and gosh its good!
Last week I lost 5 lbs and believe it was due to getting off the cappuccino. It was the only thing different I had done so attributing the loss to that. Before that was losing approximately 2-3 lbs a week consistently for the last 2 months. Carbs REALLY are NOT my friend. I don't count calories at all, just carbs and have been trying to stay around 20 a day. It's not been too hard ONCE I quit craving potatoes, bread and the like. My only thing I really want now is SWEETS. But since I'm a type 2 diabetic have been very strict with myself on no sugar.
I did go to the casino with my daughter and sister last week and ate a piece of sugar free chocolate cake after engorging on their all you can eat buffet, but stuck to low carb stuff. My gosh it was DIVINE. I thought it might mess me up a bit but STILL loss 5 lbs that week.
I have so much stress in my life right now that it seems like the ONLY thing I have control over is my weight and am really determined to get to 155. Please keep me in your prayers, I really need it. Thanks to anyone who listens. God bless
