    I think I'm starting to get my head into the "right mindset" again. I just don't get why I have to go so low net carbs to be successful. Last year my HA1C was 4 something. A question I plan to discuss with my Dr at my yearly appointment in April or May.

    @jm201851 Happy Birthday Jill! Hope you have the Happiest of a day!!!! And Thank YOU again for keeping up our monthly threads!

    Opened a cough drop early this AM. The wrapper has some inspirational sayings and I think they apply to us.
    -Conquer today
    -Let's hear your battle cry
    -Push on
    -Be resilient
    -Don't give up on you
    -Impress yourself today.
    All of these on a little cough drop wrapper!!!!

    @swimmom So cool!!! What brand?

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from January 31st): 194.8
    Goal: 189.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    02/16-194.0-(Trend Weight 194.8)-

    02/17-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I refused to weigh today after going off the rails yesterday. Emotional eating and total confusion. I saw the dietician yesterday who is turning my world upside down! They are trying to coordinate diabetic and heart healthy at the same time with an eye on weight loss too. They have told me I have put my body into starvation mode and that I am to IMMEDIATELY begin eating a minimum of 190 carbs per day for fuel. They promise it will not spike my sugar or make me gain weight. They said that adding carbs will help get my blood sugars under control which is the opposite of everything I’ve ever researched and learned! They said that my low carb dieting has made me insulin resistant. I understand their ideas to a point for a healthier heart, but I fear it will put my glucose numbers wacko and make me gain weight too which puts everything back at risk. I don’t think she understood the part about my inability to eat most veggies and fruits with my food aversions. Did she understand me when I said that just means sitting around snacking on loafs of bread (even if it’s whole grain) in order to get the carbs in because that is about how it would work for me with my eating disorders? I went grocery shopping afterward and had NO IDEA how to shop. She’s actually going to check my MFP food logs everytime I go in. They did another A1C at the hospital yesterday which is less than a month from the last one. It was ordered by the Endo and in less than a month, my A1C had already went from 10.7 to 9.7 with my recent changes of 1400 calories and 90 carbs. I feel like what I was doing was working! I’m feeling lost and hopeless. I asked to limit our appointments to just 4 (instead of 12), but it’s only once a month so I feel I’ll be losing 4 months of progress seeing this lady. I know I should just allow the so-called experts to guide me and give it a chance so I will try, but there is no way I am eating 180. She agreed that 1400 calories was okay. I will up the carbs slowly and try to be at maybe 150 when I see her again in March, unless something miraculous is happening. She wants to see 65% of my daily intake to be from carbs. 65 percent! That’s a lot of pizza! I can promise you it won’t be salads and veggies! I’m screwed! Sorry for the rant. My head is just spinning!


    02/18-196.8-(Trend Weight 195.2)- So….today will be the first day of my new macros . The 1400 calories haven’t changed and are approved. Carbs will be set at 158g (45%), Fat at 54g (35%), and protein at 70g (20%). The dietician recommends less fat and less protein than what I am going to start with so I can add even more carbs! Her plan seems wrong and drastic to me so I will start with this as a compromise. If my glucose or my weight starts increasing, I’m outta there! I will, however, give the so-called “experts” a chance. My main worry is that I know my increased carbs will not be filled with the good kind. If I didn’t have such aversions to foods, their plan could be more effective than I believe it will be. But I do have eating disorders and my carbs will not be the good kind, or the clean foods they expect so I worry that the results will be skewed and cause weight gain and high blood sugars. I understand there may be more than one way to achieve my goals and so I will try their "tried and true" method short term.
    We shall see. I will, of course, do my best at food choices but it is what it is. BTW, My family doctor has always approved my low carb dieting including Keto. Such a division in the medical community over this, even in my research! So, I've tried low carb and I'll try this but I truly believe I already know the answers.
