Thanks, jgnat! I will be doing the same thing in a couple of weeks, so I get where you're coming from! Fortunately, I can go in to the clinic at work for 6 a.m. and be the first one in line and get home before everyone else wakes up!
I buy the egg white cartons at Costco. Normally they are about $3 a carton at the local grocery store, but I can get 3 cartons for $4.99 at Costco. They are pasteurized so they last quite a while, but I'll sometimes portion them out in zip-lock bags and freeze them. I just have to remember to put one in the fridge overnight so it's thawed by the morning.
I'm actually craving an omelet with broccoli and spicy cheese right now.... bbl.

Start thinking of food as your #1 drug. Food choices helped get you to where you are, and they can help you get to where you want to be too.
When I follow the GI (Glycemic Index) closely, my blood sugars are quite good.
Portion control is huge too.
I try to limit the starchy foods like bread, breakfast cereal, rice and pasta, and rather focus more on lean proteins, vegetables and fruit. If I do have cereal (oatmeal) for breakfast, I add a tablespoon or so of chopped almonds to balance it out with some protein so that my blood sugar doesn't spike.
I try to add veggies to every meal, even breakfast. I buy egg whites in the carton and make a spinach & mushroom omelet, sprinkled with a bit of grated cheese or feta. Wrap it in a warmed small whole wheat tortilla - it's so yummy!
Salads for lunch, with a splash of lemon juice instead of dressing, and again with some protein (cheese, chopped hard boiled egg, leftover chicken).
There are times when I splurge, but I pay for it in several ways (high sugars, headaches, diarrhea), so I'm learning all the time too.
If you can find one locally, a lot of community centres offer diabetic education classes for people who are either newly diagnosed or haven't been able to control their diabetes with diet and/or exercise. They're great programs and really help you understand the disease.
One thing I really need to work on is exercise. I hate it so much. I've never been good at sports and got a lot of ridicule growing up because of it. I used to try to exercise at home, until the day that Mr Scully walked in on me "Sweatin' to the Oldies" in front of the TV and laughed his ass off at me. That was the end of that.

Funny you should say that. The timing for Tom and Katie's break up coincides nicely with John Travolta and Kelly Preston's break up. I smell a bro-mance in the air.

Do you miss the sense of security the organisation gives you?
by Mr Facts ini am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.
but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.
i have pity for you all.. .

The most important thing is the sense of security they held on to when they lived. It gave them hope and keeps them going.
Allow me to re-write that to reflect a modicum of accuracy:
The most important thing is the FALSE sense of security they held on to when they lived. It gave them FALSE hope and keeps them going UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.

Circumcision banned in Germany - it's about time.
by Joey Jo-Jo inhttp://www.smh.com.au/world/religious-groups-reject-ruling-on-circumcision-20120628-2159v.html.
jewish and muslim groups in germany have condemned a court ruling that deemed circumcision to be equivalent to grievous bodily harm.. the court, in cologne, declared this week that the procedure violated a child's ''fundamental right to bodily integrity''.
religious groups said the ruling trampled on freedom of belief and could lead to ''circumcision tourism''.. the ruling said: ''the body of the child is irreparably and permanently changed by a circumcision.

Male circumcision is NOT anything LIKE female circumcision
I wasn't discussing the physical pros or cons - we were talking strictly about religiously-based beliefs that male and/or female circumcision was a necessary / required religious practice to ensure an individual's acceptance by the religious community to which their parents belong, and the fact that the practice is usually inflicted upon infants and children who have not made up their minds as to their religious affiliation and whether or not they consent to the surgical removal of body parts due to their parents' religious inclinations.

God would never have insisted on it in the Old Testament.
That only applies if you believe in god. However, that statement leads me to ask you this: Why would God™ Create™ man Perfectly™ In His Image™, and then expect them to remove part of the human form that was Perfectly™ Created™?
circumcised men are less likely to contract STDs, less likely to develop a urinary tract infection, and nearly zero risk of penile cancer. Circumcised men are less likely to give their female partners the human papilloma virus
Well if they behaved themselves - circumcised or not - the way the God™ of the Old Testament wanted them to behave - celibate until marriage and monogamous until they die - then STDs, HPV, penile cancer and UTIs would not be an issue, now would they??
better sexual stimulation.
Horse feathers. The glans penis, under the protection of the foreskin, does not develop a thicker keratinized layer of skin and is much more sensitive due to the proximity of nerve endings to the skin's surface. Remove the foreskin and sensitivity decreases, the same way the eyeball would lose its sensitivity and harden if the eyelids were removed. Not that a gentleman would know the difference if he had been circumcised as an infant, nor would he have a measure of the degree of "fun" he is lacking during sexual activity, having been circumcised as an infant....
FYI:
