Just ate an egg sandwhich, I always get hungry during these car rides, but I feel like it's more the lack of doing anything that makes me want to eat.. Normally many unhealthy things are consumed during these long car rides. But I've been avoiding sugary stuff since Thursday last week. While eating my eggsanwhich I started thinking "ugh I always eat so much during rides", then I realized that I am not this trip because everything that I am eating is healthy. Are you confused?! What I've noticed is that if I only eat good and pretty healthy meals and snacks then I do not have to think as much about how much I eat, especially because I work out quite a lot!! 

I love food and I think that not eating sugary stuff such as candy, ice cream, deserts or cinnamon buns, is allowing me to eat as much real/good food as I want!! To me this is awesome and it's also helping me keep a more leveled bs and energy level. All those sweets are dense in calories and low in nutrients, thus not good for me. With my diabetes I am more prone to develop other health problems in the future and eating less sugar will most likely allow me a longer life, as it would to anyone, with or without diabetes. I am also thinking about going vegan for a month and then see if it helps me feel better - even though I love my egg sandwhich! 

I've noticed that people question my eating choices sometimes, it seems they are of the opinion that you only live once so why limit the things you are allowed to eat! For me though, it is not about that, I'm just trying to figure out how to live my one life feeling energetic and healthy, because since I got my diabetes I have struggled - limiting or choosing a better diet for myself is the least I can do for myself to live a good and long life!
