I don't eat breakfast until about 10. First thing in the morning, I start my coffee, then I feed the outdoor kitty cats, and go get the paper (about a 5 to 10 minute walk, depending on my dog). I come back to the house, have my coffee, read the paper and check email. By then it is around 10:00, so I have breakfast and start housework. I'll just have to remember to start the oatmeal around 9:30-9:35. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Eunice -- LOL -- far be it from me to get in the way of kitty cats getting their breakfast! Mine have been known to get quite fearsome if not fed on schedule! So, gang, the truth be told, I've had a rough couple o'days -- actually, I can see know that I've been setting myself up for it. I stopped testing a couple of weeks ago, but kept taking my medicine, watching my food. But someting inside me was struggling against the whole regimen. So on Friday night, out to dinner, I just gave in -- started eating all the stuff I haven't allowed myself -- white bread, sugar, and so on. And then yesterday and most of today, it was like I was obsessed -- I couldn't stop. By this afternoon, I felt physically sick and full of despair. I went to a self-help group meeting, where they were talking about acceptance, and that helped quite a lot. And then found a diabetes chat room on AOL and asked for help, and people were wonderful, reminding me to drink a lot of water, urging me to test. I finally did, @7:30, and my bg was 190 -- high, but not as high as I feared it would be. I dunno, reaching out helped a lot, I'm feeling saner. sometimes I just feel so angry and resentful of this disease, and sometimes I feel so scared because I know what it can do to me, and I guess it just all added up to one great big f*** it, and off I went. Oh well, I'm sure I'm not the first one here to " relapse. " But I'm feeling like I can get back on track now. yikes... vicky type 2 diagnosed may 19 diet, exercise, avandia, metformin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 What is steel cut oatmeal and what is it's significance? Is it something that's only sold at Whole Foods or other health food stores? Thanks, Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I feel that way, too, except that when I get angry and resentful, or scared of potential complications, I channel that energy into fighting it.
