Tuesday night

I did really good for my bedtime snack. I am diabetic, so if I do not eat something before bed I will go low. So I had a can of tomato soup and a piece of bread to dip in it. The soup has 180 calories and the bread 70. Next time I will buy the 40 calorie bread again. I never realized how many calories I eat in a day. According to one book to lose to my goal weight of 150, I need to eat 1500 calories, another says 1330. Either way, I am sure I go over on a daily basis. I was so proud of my healthy snack, we were even watching a movie on the couch, and then, in the middle of the night my blood sugar went low! This always happens. If I do not consume some fat and/or protein with my betime snack and I forgot! I begrudgingly got up and at a spoon of icing at 80 calories and a weightloss shake at 180 calories. I know that it is a delicate balance and I have to work on it, but it is frustrating when it is beyond your control. I didn't lose self-control and eat, but my body made me do it.
