Now that I'm pregnant I have to think about my previous pregnancies and remember my sugar problem with Sarah. I remember when I was told that I had to cut out sugar, I cried and cried. What this meant was NOT that I couldn't have sugar but that I would have to eat steak and cheese because not only does that mean sugar but all carbs because they all turn into sugar. When I was pregnant with Sarah I didn't have to do that until the very end, 9 weeks left in my pregnancy. This has become an issue again already and it's hard. I think snack time is the hardest. I was just trying to find a snack to eat and it was Kielbasa, nuts or cooked broccoli, I chose the kielbasa. Probably not the healthiest but it sounded like the better of three options. All I really wanted was the monkey munch sitting on the counter that no one else is eating and I can't, maybe it's time to just throw it away. One of my good friends just found out she is diabetic and is having to make lifestyle changes which has been difficult. I need to get some good snack options from her. Oh and by the way, so far I am not diabetic but I do have to watch it and check my blood sugar periodically to make sure I'm keeping it under control.
Anyways, with all this said, could you please pray for me and my sanity in these snack times? I know it will get easier but there is no changing this one for 6 months (hopefully long enough to make a lifestyle change). Thanks for listening to me vent.
To end this on a lighter note:

I feel the pain!!!! Maybe I should join you. After all the sugar at Christmas it's not even sounding as good right now but then - I'm not restricted. THAT always makes you want it more!!
