Battling weight gain (Me, not my cattle)

[cowz]

Sounds like you need to get your blood sugar tested! I run super low, so always carry glucose tablets w/ me just in case.
Watch that flavored water. Some can contain more suger & calories than regular pop. I use the little packets of Crystal Light & add it to bottled water.
I know when they asked me if I excerize & I tell them no but explain what I do on a regular basis. They still like a cardio work-out or something that gets your heartrate going faster for a period of time. No- sugestive comments needed here! Still like to boogie on down to the music best!

Red do you just buy glucose tablets at the drugstore or whatever? 

I also just realized Rob tried to give me sugar free juice last night as a boost when he thought I was going loopy.     Maybe I should find some of those tablets......

Genes, if you like raisins, buy a package of those little boxes of raisins.  (They give you a pick me up with something to chew on as well.) My mom is diabetic and that is her salvation.  It is also a natural sugar, which is better for you.

Diet update: Haven't had a slice of bread in DAYS! :-\
Have eaten 4-5 SMALL meals a day, that mainly is meat and salad.
ONLY ONE POTATO in 5 days (that is a BIG DEAL for me!!)
Discovered Crystal Light is actually good (not as good as tea, but darn close!)
Refuse to give up my Grape Nuts cereal. Hey darn close to healthy is good enough for me!
Honestly haven't had many sweets (some strawberry twizzlers-but thats it)!

But almost decided the price isn't worth the pain....last night while eating a salad, I bit into a tomato and chipped a tooth!!  Great, its the weekend and holiday on Monday!  Was that a signal??? ???

Anyway, I'm doing my best, learning that everyday maybe a bit easier (although thats just something I tell myself!! ;D)
Thanks for all your help!

Ok, how do you chip a tooth on a tomato?
That has to be a new one for me!
I love the Crystal Light drinks too. It's amazing how much suger is in some of theose fruit drinks.
Keep up the good work, I'm proud of you!
I weighed Killer Kitty- he's up to a whooping 15 pounds! That's a big cat! Should I put him on your diet?

I chipped the tooth while aggressively biting down on the cherry tomato and my tooth caught the edge of my tooth. OUCH!!! I was convincing myself how much I was enjoying my salad instead of a nice big potato with sour cream and butter!
The cat is halarious!!! I had a house cat that was huge also....he died last summer at the age of 18.  His favorite thing was to lick hairspray off my hair....VERY ANNOYING!

I weakened a bit today. Actaully had 1/2 burger bun, AND about 1/2 c of rice roni. But other than that, been doing pretty well. Still drinking alot. Eating frequantly (like that!! ;D) and avoiding white carbs.
Do you realize how many carbs are in foods you have no idea they are there?????
Also trying to "move a bit more" although sometimes it is hard to convince myself I need to!

Again, thanks for the encouragement!!!! (clapping)

I broke a tooth once on an M&M - sometimes the food wins, sometimes the tooth wins - I don't know how it is decided :-\ :-\
