Here it is! I even was honored with a background pic on the index page!! LOOKIE!! IT’S MEEEEEEE!!!!
I appologise for the cruddy formatting of my blog. I [...]
How on earth did a Crackberry help me in gaining control of my diabetes? Yea it sounds strange, but I was always out of luck when I was out and about and I was hungry. I admit I have a horrible memory and am horrible with remembering how many carbs are in foods but now [...]
Before I moved in with mom I had nearly eliminated high fructose corn syrup from my diet at the suggestion of my doctor. At first I didn’t believe that it would make me feel better, but I am sure that was just my resistance to change and convenience. This is difficult to do, but it [...]
