    I've made a lot of discoveries after a little calorie counting...amongst other things.

    It always happens like this…I eat pasta, tuna, fruit and a little cheese for lunch and end up binging later! Having a 2,000 calorie diet doesn’t help much.

    Priorities must be set:

    *Count servings
    *No unnecessary helpings
    *Have a sufficient amount of protein
    *Adjust insulin, bring it WAY down
    *See my diabetic doctor
    *Slow down at all times while eating food
    *Chew, at most, 30 times
    *Fresh fruit for dessert

    There's a thread in Maintainers about having "no excuses" for just one week at a time.

    You should join us there. You certainly look like you have your plan outlined nicely.

    Try cutting the pasta portion in half and doubling the protein portion and see if that sticks w/you longer. Add a large side salad full of baby lettuces, some slivered almonds, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. Hold the fruit and cheese combo for a snack 2-3 hours after your lunch, maybe upping the cheese a bit.
