Journal entry 11/17/15

I just finished consuming the salmon but at a different time that what was planned.  I consumed the pineapples before 12 PM because I felt that my sugar levels have fallen.  I may have hyperglycemia, which means that there are sudden drops in blood sugar levels along with other symptoms.  I realize that if I wish to lose weight, I would have to eat healthier and exercise.  I didn't exercise today but I tried to at least eat healthy foods and drink a lot of water.  My health has become important to me since I have a number of symptoms related to the hormonal condition that I have known as PCOS.  I am over 300 pounds and my hope is that I lose the weight and keep it off.  I am learning, however, that the number on a scale is just a guide.  I have learned never to place too much importance on number unless it is inches lost.  Right now,I feel like I have lost an inch or so which makes me feel good.

Breakfast 8:00-8:50 AM

Snack 1 11:45 AM

Lunch 2:40 PM

Dinner  5:00 PM

Snack 2 6:30 PM

Snack 3 7:50-8 PM

Today, I don't feel so bad that I have consumed my lunch at a different time than I did on Spark People.  That was not that important to me.  What is so important to me is that I will eat healthy so that I can be healthy by consuming a healthy "diet" and exercise.  What is also important is that I don't change my mind when it comes to consuming what I eat or drink.  My hope is that I don't put too much importance to the point where I will be anxious and end up giving up.  That has been an issue of mine for a long time now.  My plan is to take baby steps.
