Sigh.

Yesterday: 3,000 calories total after my late night noshing.
Today: 15 calories so far.

I know you're reading this like I am starving myself. Trust me, I know that choices like that one are not healthy, good for your body, and probably won't make you lose weight (starvation mode and whatnot).

I am type one diabetic. So that adds another layer of craziness to this journey.

Today my blood sugar levels have been outrageously high, causing nausea, a headache, and a general crappy feeling. And, when you're blood sugar levels are elevated, you can't consume sugars or carbohydrates, so basically that leaves me sucking on sugar free Popsicles, drinking clear fluids, and trying to hold down this morning's medication. Sounds awesome, right?

Most of the time, being diabetic is okay. But on days (read: months) like this, it is super discouraging and plays with your emotions and your life.

Tonight, I will have an awesome dinner and probably do some stretches and yoga to ease my mind.

I'm finding myself more and more unhinged recently. I should probably go talk to someone, but honestly, I can't afford it. Having no medical insurance is scary and sad. Life isn't going as planned for me and...

Whoa, this is probably my blood sugar talking, which is why I am going to cut this short.
