May I be a giver and receiver of help and friendship.

A few days ago a friend called me to see if I was available to meet her today at 2 p.m. She has a bigger eating disorder than I do. I felt like I had accomplished something when I offered to buy something and she chose a cheese croissant because she saw it as something light. I saw it as something white, but was glad to see her eat.
I didn't have enough food in my body and I had a cinimmon bun because I thought my sugar was low. Had an oatmeal date bar thinking I was doing fibre and then ended up going to Kentucky Fried for chicken and salad. The salad was too sweet and couldn't eat it all and the chicken was dry. When I got home my sugar was 9.7. It has been running high at 7.9 because of the medication I have been on has my sleeping patterns and eating habits off. Normally it is 5.9 so have another thing to discuss with my doctor tomorrow.
Have been drinking lots of water since I came home so it was a good indicator that the sugar was high. Tonight it is down to 5.6 which is a good indicator that you should be careful what you eat and read labels or ask about the sugar content. I knew that the chicken was friend and not the best for me, the fries were white so they would turn to sugar too. I chose them over other food in the food court that looked wilted, greasier and more than dead!
