Almost immediately, my stomach came down. That had been really bothering
me! It got to where it was like..all pushed out and hard to the touch.
I felt like everywhere I went, my stomach went first. I had to buy
larger pants and soon even they didn't fit!

Stomach is much down now. Not flat and probably never will be. Even
when I was pathetically thin, I had a little spare tire of fat there.
Dr. said it was called apron fat. But my pants are loose again and soon
I will probably kick myself for having wasted money on pants that will be
too large.

I haven't really gotten hungry. Stomach has growled a few times. I did
eat a handful of Sahale snacks at what used to be my lunch time. Those
are locally made mixes of nuts and dried fruits. I like the Valdosta.
It's pecans, black pepper, orange peel and cranberries. And yesterday I
had a tiny piece of a potato chip, a tiny Frito and two pieces of popcorn
spread over the afternoon. Had to take Angela to Children's Hospital for
tests. We got there early like they said to do and do to a series of
things gone wrong...as in right hand not knowing what left hand was
doing...we had a lot of time to kill. Which we did in the gift shop and
cafeteria.

BG overall has come down. Had one hypo. Morning numbers still too high.
Not sure why that is. They are jumping up like 100-200 points from what
they were when I went to bed the night before. Grrr... But after meals,
my numbers are either in range or pretty close to it.

I feel a LOT better though. Much more energy. Gee, maybe I can start
exercising again! I think that lunch I was eating was just sitting in my
stomach, not being digested very well and that was making me sluggish or
something.

Anyway... So far, so good.

I haven't been eating lunch for several months. On the rare occasion that
I do have lunch I get so sleepy I can hardly stay awake for dinner, then I
start waking up in the evening and can't sleep. Another reason for no
lunch, I was gaining weight. My weight has stabilized since I quit lunch.
I do need to shed 10-15 pounds, been thinking of going low carb for
breakfast.

Maybe lunch is bad for type 2's on insulin.

Yep. I gained back the 26 pounds that I lost when I stopped eating the
lunch. Oddly, I do not consume too many calories per day and with eating
the lunch was eating the recommended amount of calories by the dietician.
But that is obviously too many calories for me.
