Almost 2 years????

Since I updated this thing? Wow! :-\ Yet another example of how long I've been struggling with my weight. I've been noticing that I was getting dizzy occasionally and that I was REALLY sleepy after I ate. I saw my Nurse Practitioner, and she felt I should see an endocrinologist (sp?) for a possible metabolic disorder. They ran some bloodwork, and everything came back great. I'm not pre-diabetic, my blood pressure is fine, and my cholesterol is ok. My only physical problem is obstructive sleep apnea, which is treated with my CPAP machine. He indicated that if I did have some type of physical problem because of my weight (i.e., pre-diabetes), he could prescribe some medication, like Metformin, to assist me. He talked with me for about 30 minutes, and we discussed the possibility of carb addiction. I never really thought about it, but the more I pondered it, the more sense it made. He recommended a carb-free diet. I talked with hubby, and he said his heart doctor had advised him to follow the South Beach plan. So, we've decided to do that. $248 worth of groceries later, we've begun. Two eggs for breakfast, reduced fat string cheese and nuts for snacks, a salad for lunch. Just found out the office is going out to lunch, though, for an associate's birthday. Must...be...strong. If you see me in the corner, curled up a ball and chanting "sweet....tea", help me.
