Mr. Meal Plan

Like I promised, I'd post you a new copy of my new and insanely huge, improved meal plan. My meals are based on the diabetic exchange plan. On the left are the exchanges I need, and on the right are examples of each exchange. For snacks, my nutritionist just gave me a few options for each "snack time".

I'm not going to lie; this meal plan is definitely proves a challenge for me. I HAVE been following it, but let me tell ya', it has NOT been easy. I am constantly full (I'm starting to forget what the sensation of hunger feels like), and it definitely gets Ed talking. I'm not exactly sure how many calories I am eating a day, but it's a lot. You know what, though? I need those calories! I deprived my body of the calories it needed for so long that I need to compensate by adding lots more calories now. I'll do what I have to to inform Ed that he is not welcome in my life! 

I'm sorry to bore you with another picture-less post. I have plenty of food pics on my camera; I just need to put them on my comp. I'll do it soon : )

Happy Hump Day Everyone!
