Diet Comment

I ended my eating last night with high-calorie, high-sugar food, in the form of dried mangos and pumpkin seeds. I ate a lot of both, too, finishing the whole bag of mangoes I'd just bought, and the bag of pumpkin seeds, too. Amazingly, it didn't affect my blood sugar when I checked it, but the weight-gain was a foregone conclusion.

Oh, no! The return of yesterday's lost weight. Was it the egg roll I ate during I am Fool rehearsal? Unlikely, at least by itself, as it weighed far less than a pound. But it might have turned on fat storage. It's no big deal, anyway. I'm happy when my weight is under 200 pounds.
