IT's not all bad, though.
I have, in the last 2 weeks, made a wonderful discovery! I decided maybe carbs (specifically cereal grains) were affecting me. I already have insulin resistance (or hyperinsulinism) so my cells do not absorb insulin readily. This is a pre diabetic condition( scary!).
I started doing very low carb (along the lines of Atkins) and in 2 weeks, 12 pounds melted off with no effort. And I EAT, well!
It is also along the lines of NOS though, I try to eat only 3 meals plus one mini afternoon meal.
I'm misisng you guys and miss hearing about how everyone is doing.
DS started school and DD starts preschool soon, so that will be a mch lighter "load" for me, I'll be getin a break and I so need it! DH is nearly half way through the deployment- still feels like he's been gone forever though! He'll be done and back mid april though, thankfully.
That's about it. I think it's wonderful that I've figured out what is going on with my body. Now of course I am trying to limit S's (Sweets) to only special occasions. Yesterday was DD's 3rd birthday and I had a scoop of ice cream and a piece of cake. I could feel a rush of insulin, nausea, my skin started to itch (caused by insulin overage) and then today I felt very hungry all day despite the fact that I'm eatin! Steaks and chops and loins and chicken and fish and shrimp and eggs and veggies veggies vegges!
Got my pancreas workign overtime again. I have so much energy, much more level mood, clear mind- no brain fog, and no afternoon slump.
Anyway, that's what's going on with me, I hope it's ok if I stay here on the board even though I'm low carbing
