DONUTS!!!!!!   I am sound to sleep and am awakened by hearing a sound of rustling papersack.  “Wake up Honey, I got your favorite donut….cinnamon roll”.  Then he starts telling me how fresh and delicious it is because it’s  6:30 am and they were just made.  I look up and there he is in our bed with a pink box of a dozen donuts.  He’s eating them and he seems to be in heaven.  So, I open my baggie, and there’s not just 1 cinnamon roll, my husband loves me so much he brought me 2!  And they are big! 

I smell them and they do smell great!  So I think to myself, “Should I just eat these babies and start over tomorrow”?  Well, no.  I decided to let myself have a taste and that’s it.  That way I am not depriving myself.  I start to feel angry because he knows I am diabetic and that carbs and sugars will raise my blood glucose dangerously high.  I have told him time and time again that I can’t eat them.    Then I got to thinking, I have to realize that I am the only one in my home that has diabetes and it’s not fair to make my husband withhold from one of his favorite treats.  But, did he have to rub them in my face and wake me up with them?  No.  Hahaha, to get my revenge, I wrote all over the pink box, things like, “Death”, “Diabetic Coma”, “Stacey, do not eat these”, and I drew a big tombstone on the front which my husband got a chuckle out of.  I mean, my husband doesn’t bring me a lot of gifts so it’s hard not to be appreciative and it was a tough decision not to eat the donuts but I have to make my health more important than people’s feelings getting hurt.  I know he meant well.

Anyhow, while typing this, he came in and saw that I have started this blog.  Guess who’s in trouble now?

Hi everyone.  Since Lyssa went MIA for the Hip Chicks Challenge a few of us have been keeping it going with no direction.  The list of rules are on the first page of the challenge that Lyssa wrote.  I really liked her ideas!  So, the challenge was a 90 day challenge and it will be over December 2.  I am going to be taking it over from here on out. 

To try and get some momentum going I am starting the fruits and veggie challenge for us starting today.  The goal is just to try and eat 5 - 7 servings of fruits and veggies and check in with us how you are doing.  It will go until next Friday.  I think veggies are important to every dieter as the fiber is great, they fill you up, they are loaded with vitamins, and you can eat a lot of them for little calories.  I am hoping to implement this into my diet to help me with my plateau and then I got the idea to do it for the group. 

Come join the HipChicks under Weightloss Forum.  The more the merrier!!!
