BUT- my kitchen scale does go to 11 pounds. I never knew WHY but maybe the big pot of stew is exactly why!
Thanks Gary... its like a new door has been opened... a very heavy, mathmatically dense, and still kinda fuzzy door, but a door nontheless.  |
You'll do fine; it's a big bewildering load of stuff at first. You can't keep on top of every aspect of it, but the little bits of effort put in weighing stuff make life a lot easier in the long run. Yes it's effort, but effort is preferable to feeling poorly.
Keep in mind that I've been doing the diabetes thing for around 14 years now. For the first 12 years of that I had no idea what carb counting was! I still lived, albeit nowhere near as well as I do now. This place has taught me an awful lot.
