Health Journey 2026 - Day 4 (8/6/26)

Hey everyone, how are you doing? Today was a rough day of eating because I just was not that hungry. I did have a bigger meal this morning I guess you could say, but my calories were still pretty low. I am hoping the longer I do this I'll stop feeling that way. I mean I don't want to always be hungry, but I need to at least eat enough food. So, what did I eat? Meal 1 - 7.5 oz salmon Meal 2 - 6.5 oz deli turkey and a slice of cheddar cheese Meal 3 - 4 slices of bacon and a little butter. Just was trying to get some extra calories in since I am struggling. Macros for the day: 1,054 calories, 8 carbs, 74 fat, 85 protein. I need to be lowering the carbs closer to zero, but the deli meat wasn't the cleanest ingredients. It is a work in progress. We'll see if I lose any weight over night. I will share a weigh in tomorrow probably. My blood sugar has done the same today as yesterday; stable but a bit higher than I would like 100 to 120. However it is much better than when I was eating carbs and seeing 200+ constantly, even with taking loads of insulin. I now only take a tiny amount. So, that was another day completed....what do you think?

I’m glad to hear you don’t have to have as much insulin. I’ve never had to use insulin so that must be a real drag.

Yes, I've been giving so much less the past week. I'm used to it now so it doesn't really bother me though

It's all looking good. Even the calories look good to me.

@MommyOfEli2013 A day at times won't hurt. If you are not hungry don't force it. That will make you hate trying. Also remember that protein stays with you longer than carbs.

Even though they are under 1200? I just don't want to be eating not enough...that won't help either

Sounds like you are doing better on the insulin. Yes, it's all a work in progress.
