Hello all,
I have had to face a terrible truth about myself and decided to share it "publicly" with you all.

I started keeping my fitday journal yesterday, Sat. May 10, 2003 and was brutally honest about everything I put into my mouth.

To my SHOCK AND HORROR.... these were my daily totals...
Calories.... 2,656
Fat........... 132
CARBS......... 218
Protein....... 142

Before this, if you had asked me what I ate, I would have said, oh about 35 carbs a day.

WOW!! Talk about "deluding" myself.

No wonder my Blood Sugars (BGs) have been so elevated !!!

Well, it's time to face the facts:

I have a LONG WAY TO GO before I can do this "low carb" thing.

I've decided to ween myself down to 35 carbs a day.

Today, as my own Mother's Day gift to myself, I'm going to de-carb my kitchen to make it a safe haven for me.

If the kids want something "carby" then I will get them a single serving item at the store that they eat in one sitting.

I'm giving up my "sugar-free" chocolate and pudding for now because I love it too much and I eat too many servings of it.

Tnanks for listening to my confessons.

I'm counting on you all to help keep me honest.
