So...while I have the cholesterol of a 12 year old, my sugar is slightly elevated...not unusual for someone who is fat, because fat is insulin resistant...however, it worries me a bit, because I would really hate for "slightly elevated" in my 30's to become type 2 diabetes in my 40's or 50's. So...I'm looking at the whole low carb craze.
Just looking at my diet, i'm obviously not all that careful about my sugar intake. And of course, i'm a HUGE fan of bread in all its forms...aren't we all? So now, I'm going to have to really think about it. Like one of my favourite things to drink is Nestea iced tea...guess that's out. Today, it is replaced by Perrier with a hint of lime. But as for the eating...well that scares the crap out of me. Since the visit to the Dr. yesterday, I really haven't eaten a whole lot. I'm thinking about it so much that i'm almost afraid to put anything in my mouth. Now, my Dr., he said that because my cholesterol is so good, just eat meat. Um...barf! I just sent Michael to the grocery store with a long list of veggies to get, you know...to throw in there with the meat. I mean, I loves me some bacon, but I'm going to get pretty sick of it if my diet is heavy on the protien. On the plus side, i'm looking at sugars in all their formations like they are poison to my body now. How long that will last, i really don't know. I will say this though...the other day I ate a piece of cake at a birthday party, and it made me feel all weird, and i know it's because i was over sugared. You aren't supposed to feel like that, I'm pretty sure.
All in all, it's one more thing to give me stress. Right now, seriously, something has GOT to give. Because I'm a little afraid of the meltdown that's coming. I'm looking for diversions, but they are hard to find, and occasionally, stressful in and of themselves. Sometimes, being a grown up just SUCKS!
