Giving my head a shake! I just realized that I was reading labels wrong. I was thinking that the listing were for the whole loaf of raisin bread, and didn't see the small print, 1 serving. I bet that my serving and theirs are not the same thing. Instead of 6% and 5% it was 12% and 10% for lunch and the same for breakfast.
Looks like I need to take another look at what I am eating. I know what I am not eating. I haven't been making healthy choices.
I really got scared when my blood sugar read 14.6 today. I immediately ate peanuts. I reheated 3 spareribs and opened a can of pork and beans and had half. When I took it two hours later it was down to 7.9 which is still high for me.
I thought I had been doing really well. Bought rye bread which I don't like, was eating salads with onions, carrots, cheese, tomato and chicken added to the greens. I fell in love with the label of salad dressing (Vidalia Onion & Summer Tomato Braswett's of Georgia Gormet) and didn't read the part that I needed to look at. Carbs 10% and Sugar 9% for 2 tbsps.
This has taught me that I haven't looked at the whole picture. I was only seeing what I wanted to see. I was having selective hearing and tunnel vision. Don't tell me, I know what to do!" Wrong!

Have had a few over the years. When you get honest with yourself, things have a way of popping up. It is what we do with them when they show their face. Do I make changes, ignore them and pretend they aren't there, or do we turn them over to our Higher Power.
