Many of you know that I am and have been on
Weight Watchers for a while now. The last time I weighed in I was down
36 pounds. People have asked me if my insulin needs have changed at all but strangely enough, I have not noticed any change. Until now.

It's ironic that even the most obscure things we hope for can come true. I can't tell you how many times I've thought to myself how much easier it would be to lose weight (or manage my blood sugar) if I could just completely lose the desire to eat or if I could feel just a bit queesy all the time to discourage my mindless eating habits.
In contrast, I can't tell you how many times yesterday I said, "I'm not taking that damn medicine anymore."

Which would you like to hear first? I guess I'll start with the bad news and get my whining out of the way first. The scale is up this week. Granted it's only half a pound, but the frustrating part is I have been working so hard at this. I've been following Weight Watchers faithfully since Thanksgiving and I've only lost about 2 and a half pounds. What's worse is I'm starting to begrudge people at the meeting who lose more than that each week. Selfish, isn't it?
In reviewing my diet, exercise and lifestyle, I'm even more annoyed because I'm eating less food (and healthier food, at that), exercising more, drinking water and even getting more sleep than I had been. But I'm still not losing. What do I need to do? I'm open to all suggestions, except "be patient." I don't do well with patience.

Life is full of simple pleasures.
Today I slept in until 12. I made some coffee. I drank about 4 cups. I had a nice little breakfast. I turned on the tv and actually caught a decent movie. The movie was, "The Broken Trail" with Robert Duval. It was about some good ol' cowboys taking some horses about 800 miles or so through some
beautiful country in Wyoming. The movie really hit home with me this morning. I love to be outside. I love that I am country guy and that I am in my element when I am out in the wilderness. I love a good fire and a good meal. Sometimes I am happiest with just a cup of coffee and maybe a smoke if I feel like it.
Bottom line is today I was depressed.
I had a nice breakfast, watched that great movie, drank my coffee, and then tested my sugar.

I started putting on the weight over two years ago. For those two years, I let twenty pounds add onto my body. I watched myself go up in jean sizes, throw away old clothes because they were too tight, and hate who I was in the mirror. My blood sugars didn't seem to be affected much by my weight. My wardrobe and my mindset were the only things shattered.
Eventually, I realized that the twenty extra pounds were slowly taking a toll on my long-term health, including the long-term health of my diabetes. I started working out again. (You might remember my post about getting my body ready for summer.) I also tried to watch what I was eating more closely, including low treatments.

Today I started responding to a question left in a comment.
In the end, I decided this subject deserved its own post.
I have lost somewhere between 40 and 50 pounds over the past year and half. It depends on the day and the time of day and whether I've worked out - etc, etc...
Anyway, it's been a long, strange trip losing the weight. And the way I did it is pretty simple.
I stopped trying fad diets and started doing things the one way that I think really works. I made very basic, but important changes to my lifestyle.
I count calories and I burn calories. It's that simple. I used a calculator I found online to figure out how many calories I should be eating if I wanted to lose weight.
