Get on the good foot

I officially don't want to go to a doctor ever again. Unless I'm dying

This means I will definitely have to change my diet and the insulin I take and how I take it. Go back to "basics" , how It was when I was a kid.

Poop. This is gonna be hard. I figure if I do pre-planned/prepared meals maybe it can be a little easier. I really don't know if I can do this buy I will try and stick to it or literally die trying.

Yep...

Whole grains, where art thou?

I can eat whole grains!!! ������(in case you're reading this with a questioning thought I was told I shouldn't eat any or at least a very small amount of starches.)  but it has to be "for real" whole grains, I guess sometimes it says whole grains but its only half grains...*shrugs* I don't know what to say about that.

So I was walking around work after my shift. (I work at Walmart.) trying to get ideas of how not to suffer with out rice and pasta and all those wonderdul things called starch . mmmm potatoes *whimpers* And I came upon a wonderful, magical place. The Breakfast aisle and I found whole grain... EVERYTHING as amazing as this was for me it was also a let down! they say whole grains but no where does it go into details if its all whole grains or not. When I start seeing this I figure if it says whole grain it has to be more whole grain than not, right? At this point I was annoyed and said "screw it" I'm going to trust the fact that it say  "whole grain" and eat it like  I've never eaten Whole grains before!

I think I will do an all cereal diet or eat my salads and my proteins like normal but if I get hungry again, which we all know I will eat cereal or those Belvita crackers. OMG! They even have whole grain pancake mix.  Ooooohhh how I love pancakes!!! ��theres cookies and crackers and of course there is bread so I'm good. I was happy to remember that its starting to get cold so I can make soup but I'm on The fences about whole grain noodles if you have thoughts about them let me know. I've already tried brown rice so yea I think I can probably work with it on some occasions but it's still not my favorite.

The sacrifices we have to make for our health.   *sigh*

Well that's all friends I'll try to entertain you with more later. ������

#Wtf, no starch diet?

Okay...
So I finally went to the doctors and there is A LOT I need to take care of  like lowering my a1c and fixing my insulin corrections and then theres my diet whish is the part that I think is hilarious and almost impossible is the fact that she wants me to cut out if not all, most of the starches in my diet.
This is when I look at her like she's crazy! Not only did she not know what carb counting is, which is pretty self explanatory. But she is asking a Hispanic girl that likes to eat, to remove starches from her diet. (Cuckoo. Cuckoo.) Yea... I'm sure this is gonna be a challenge bc the first thing I eat when I get home is rice beans and some carne.

Wow... I'm in some serious doo doo. ��

So this is my grocery list.
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Baby carrots
Greens
Cabbage
Bacon
Eggplant
Zucchini
Beets

So far that's what I've come up with. So the nice thing is that I can eat whole grains. So I'm gonna try oatmeal and a lot of whole grain breads to substitute tortilla chips Lol  I don't think I can cut our hummus tho.... Just saying

Give me some ideas if you have any.�� I'm in serious need!
