Okay... let's see... I don't have lunch, but I DO have snacks when I get all shaky from low blood sugar. Today for breakfast, I had coffee w/creamer, 4 fig bars (60 cals ea.), then for snack I had low-fat ham (110 cals) & cheese (110 cals) w/o the bread - I just rolled it up & ate it. Then for dinner I had salmon, tilapia, a tiny spoonful of mashed potatoes w/butter, cauliflower & broccoli w/butter, & a little wine, which I have everyday w/dinner. And that's all I had today, because I think I'm VERY overweight, at 5', 156lbs. I look terrible. Where my sweet tooth comes in, is when I'm upset. I guess I'm an emotional eater. I have alot of stress. Two paranoid schizophrenic sons... Scotty also is high-functioning autistic. Sean was in LD classes, that's why we think he might be eligible for MR/DD, like his brother. Scotty has lunch and a snack at his workshop, so I pack him 2 sandwiches, 2 little cups of applesauce or cut-up fruit, one little jello-pudding cup, a couple cookies or a cheese stick, a 6oz can of juice, he buys his milk. He's hooked on cheese, pop, & McDonald's, which we've cut way down on. He thinks we're mean! But sometimes, he says "I need to lose weight!" I have to put his socks & shoes on for him every morning, because he can't reach his feet. He needs to increase his stamina so he can do his little jobs at his workshop, so they want us to take him on more walks. But he's SO out of shape! Just a few years ago, he was so skinny his pants were always hanging off his hips. Like I said, Sean has really been getting serious about his diet over the past week or so. He's doing everything right, so no problems there. Oh, they were both ordering alot of pizza over the past couple of years & we've cut that out. We've also put locks on the fridge & freezer.
