I posted last night to introduce myself and let everyone know that I have hypothyroid disorder and gained 30 lbs since having that diagnosed. 4 days ago now I made a lifestyle change (another one, I quit smoking a month ago) to get healthier and lose that weight! Well, I'm also a type 1 diabetic and I'll be talking to my doctor as well next week. Anyways though, last night I guess I didn't eat enough. In the middle of the night I got really low blood sugar and woke up and just by instinct started eating. I don't even remember all I ate but what I do remember makes me feel like I failed this diet. Er, lifestyle change. You know what I mean. Seriously I guess I haven't been eating enough because, well. Let me see if I can remember everything. And just so everyone knows (you'll understand if you've ever experienced realllly low blood sugar) I usually don't eat like this and it's hard for me to control anything I'm doing eating wise when you feel this weak and hungry and instinct just tells you to get your blood levels up. If that makes sense. Alright, here I go. Prepare to puke, I can't believe I ate this much: 1 1/2 cup of grape juice, a sweet roll (pin wheel or whatever they're called), Snackwell's cinnamon raisin cereal bar thing, Bare naked granola (1/2 cup I'm assuming). I want to say that's all. (Lol, that's "all".) Yeah, too much. I went back to bed and woke up feeling guilty. Not ONLY did I eat that much but I ate that much and then went back to sleep. So allll those calories are on my thighs. -___-

Do I just keep going and not look back?

    You can't mess around with diabetes. I am not qualified to give advice, but I think a doctor should steer you to a professional nutritionist who can get you eating right. Just don't give up.

    Keep going!
    Record what you ate and try to have a good few days in a row. You'll be able to look back and be thankful for both your honesty AND your committment!
