Overall Summary: I consumed too much ice cream even in one setting.  The fact of the mutter is, that I should have eaten only less than one cup of ice cream.  One serving equals 110 calories worth, so it is the same as yesterday.

I did not add anything today because I just quit.  Everyday I seem to get overwhelmed.  Also, I just don't care is my way of saying I can eat whatever what I want.  I have no boundaries when it comes to the food that I eat or what I drink as well.  I have not sabotaged myself as far as I know.  I notice this happens after I lose weight.  I often take weight loss for granted.  The best thing for me to do is to identify what the trigger foods are.  I also think that the best thing for me to do is to actually take further action.  Writing is something I find cathartic.  It helps me understand what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong.  Now all I have to do is to not get overwhelmed or anxious mentally.  My desire is to take action.  However, my biggest fear is fear itself.  Also, losing weight as a diabetic is not easy, but it shouldn't be hard, either.  But for me, it is, until I realize that there are complications to have this condition.  I would not wish these complications on anyone, much less myself.  I have been, and still am, in conflict, but I have no idea why that is.  All I know is that while it is hard, I don't want to make losing weight and getting healthier should and will ultimately be, my goal.
