Well - got yelled at by my doctor. My sugars are too high. I've got two months to 1) lose weight and 2) bring the sugar level down in my blood test or he'll put me on drugs. Thrills. He also upped the dose of the appetite suppressant I was already taking - which doesn't seem to be working as well as the lower dose was?
So, I'm to avoid carbs. Bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc. And guess what my favorite foods are? Lasagna and pizza!! WAAAAAA!!!
It's even harder to manage when one eats out 80% of the time! I don't cook at home, and I eat out at lunch and dinner. I'm usually good for breakfast with oatmeal, but often varied that with bagels, or muffins - both of which now I shouldn't have, though oatmeal is okay. And he suggested yogurt. Yea, I like the stuff... but I can't eat it. Lactose intolerant. :::sigh:::
I'm to eat protein and veggies. Sounds like a modified South Beach diet I guess. Got any hints

And, of course, I've already failed today. There were giving out free cake for Hillcrest's 100 Anniversary - RIGHT in front of my work. I couldn't get out the front doors without getting cake put into my hands when I went out to fetch lunch. I'm doomed.
