OT Type 2 Diabetes

I really miss my dentist. A couple of years after I started seeing her she went on maternity leave. I was still seeing her when her son graduated college. When she retired her staff went with her and practice no longer took my insurance. My new dentist is OK but in quarter century you build relationship. When my perio-2 (used for gums) broke and I called her office, the staff told me I need to get a permit from former dentist. No such thing!

Had a couple pieces of fried chicken last night! Wow….. hadn’t had something that tasty in four months!!!! Kinda jacked up my stomach a bit.
Back to the healthy stuff this morning though…. Protein shake and banana for breakfast. Going to have a tuna sandwich for lunch.

I knitted a skirt last fall. Put it on last weekend. Need to take up elastic at the waist because it is now too big.

That's why I don't knit. That way it's someone else's fault. (Also, my wife thinks I look better in a tutu than a soft skirt, but that's not here nor there).

(It does feel good to need smaller clothes, tho, don't it?)

It's a full skirt so taking up elastic in the waist is pretty simple.
Please post pics of yourself in tutu.

This was in Halloween, when I went dressed like a cat.

Also for the first time, I’m seeing food and kinda’ craving it. Since I went cold turkey with the junk food back in October, I’ve pretty cool not having anything bad…..but FAMS…… I was walking down the street in Chicago the other night and walked by this cool diner like donut shop and saw some fresh apple fritters…..could smell the damn things outside! Stood there and told myself , “NOPE!!!” And walked away. First time I’m kinda craving the bad stuff, wonder why? Because it was all such a main part of my life for so long? But why not before and these cravings are starting now?

Maybe you're pregnant.

Maybe it's because apple fritters are the pastry equivalent of crack cocaine......???

You ain’t jokin

Gotta have cheat meals to subside those cravings. You always will feel like shit afterwards and question why you ate it. But its better than falling off the healthy train completely, which is what tends to happen if you restrict yourself from any of life's joys.

Back during COVID Tony Snell rented out a theatre for us to watch Black Panther 2 in Memphis…… the reason I bring this up, all the food and drink was free. @THE HCP probably had one of EVERYTHING! Remember how bad I felt on that bus ride back to the hotel.
Well that night is happening again tonight and I couldn’t be in more different state of mind and path!
Will be interesting to see how he handles it tonight!
Might just bring his own protein shake and bar so there is no bad decisions to make. Especially after sharing that I’m feeling cravings now.

Check in later…..

You think @THE HCP cares what YOU think!?

Been tough this past coupe road trips staying on course. Tough to explain…..just constant travel, no consistent hours. Trying to eat simply what you can have delivered or they serve at the arena or on the plane. My protein shakes and bars are coming in handy. Like yesterday in Memphis it felt like I was in a middle school cafeteria. No wonder I packed on so many pounds over the years out here. Staying strong though, or at least trying. Went on some huge walks in Atlanta and today here in Houston. Feels good. Been awhile since I’ve weighed in….going to right now when I get back to the hotel.

Thanks again for giving me a place to share this stuff. Feels good being able to type all this shit out.

Alight FAMS! Stepped on that scale…… 247 lbs!
Down from 305lbs on October 19th, and from 333lbs back in 2018 roughly. Ain’t stopping anytime soon.

Side note: Ordered some new underwear on Amazon today….. Please no underwear jokes!

Can’t NOT have some of my favorite Tex-Mex down here tonight though. #BAM

Hey, do you find you have to pee all the time? Downside of losing weight. Like every ten minutes.

No I don’t. Just at night and I was told that comes with age.

How is everybody else out there doing with their process?

Sounds incredibly difficult. Keep it up!

Super proud of you
