I’ve undergone a complete reversal. Thirteen months ago, my poundage had me borderline overweight. This past Monday I had a doctor’s appointment; and the doctor told me my BMI was 19! Now I’m verging on UNDERweight.

Well, I don’t want to vanish into thin air. Now I need to find a way to maintain my weight; yet still keep tabs on the carbs. I’ve got to keep that prediabetes in mind; I suspect that prediabetes isn’t “cured”. Even if my A1c levels are back to normal, I suspect that I\’ll always have to be careful.

After work that day, I decided to blow my spendcation and get Chinese take-out for supper. I\’m tired of getting hungry too quickly after eating; and when I told the doctor about it Monday, she suggested that I schedule another session with the nutritionist. Anyway, I thought that having a humongous meal might bring me back on a more even keel.

Maybe I need more calories, considering the amount of riding I do. But do I need more carbs? It\’s already often difficult to plan a day\’s meals; fit in roughly 2000 calories; and not go over 200 grams of carbs. I also try to minimize cholesterol. If anything, that complicates matters; because it means curbing cheese, meat, eggs, and poultry.

As long as I can keep up the cycling, I should be able to keep my weight under control; and avoid becoming \”skinny obese\”. Exercise also helps to control diabetes/prediabetes. Now if only I could bring about a major reversal in my slowpoke pace!
