Getting distracted and not always logging what I eat

hlpmelos

I have lost about 25 lbs by using my fitness pal and have got my a1c down from 8.8 to 6.6 from March 2015 till now, but I have been slacking on logging everything I eat and have gained about 3lbs recently.. I don't want to lose track of why I am doing this. I started because my doctor was going to send me to an endocrinologist and have them put me on insulin, but I didn't want any part of this.. I told him to give me a chance to lose weight and get my a1c down and I did it, but I have had the mind set that its okay to not track everything and I have now gained 3 lbs.. I don't want to end up in a worse position and need a little motivation to keep me grounded. Even if I do go over my calories, I need to focus on not eating so many carbs.. My hours at work have changed and I seem to come home from work and eat a big meal right before bed... I need to figure out what to eat that will satisfy my hunger, yet not make my blood sugar go up.
I thank you ahead of time for your help and or suggestions.

3 lbs, not bad. If you're tracking your weight you might find that it's just a fluctuation. If it sticks for a few weeks, maybe you gained, but you know what to do to get back into check. Start logging everything again regardless, don't let yourself slip.

Nuts in moderation.

Good of you to recognize what happened. Best advice is yo start logging again until you lose the 3 and get back on the path u want to be on.
