It’s almost the end of d-blog day but happy d-blog day anyway. I hardly feel like a diabetes blogger these days though it still plays an important role in my life. Losing weight has made a huge difference for me. I need a little help from metformin to help my body use the insulin it produces but I’m off all other diabetes medications. I don’t think that much about what I eat diabetes-wise anymore, since what I eat lap-band wise goes a long way toward cutting out most carbohydrates anyway. A little more than a year ago we were looking at adding short acting insulin to the long acting insulin I was already taking. Who knew so much could change in a year?

Today was a busy but good day. Yes, I still sound like Mickey Mouse but I’m feeling pretty good. And this morning was one of those odd times that when I looked in the mirror on my way out of the house, I could suddenly see the weight loss. I’m not slender yet, but I was looking pretty damn good. Maybe it was the new jeans or maybe it was just that I was having a good hair day. It was a good feeling and it’s one that doesn’t last. Some days I feel fatter than others.

Got my shopping done. Tried to sell Mike at my health food store on the idea of carrying my powdered peanut butter so I can buy it locally. Ate a nice salad at Chili’s for lunch and went to support group tonight. One of my friends there sent home three bags of clothes with me. What I don’t want or doesn’t fit I’ll pack up with the rest of the stuff I’ll take to the thrift shop in a couple weeks. I forgot to take the cat food that Stasia won’t eat back to the store. I guess it can sit in my car another couple weeks!
