I don't know if its fun. I agree it can be mind consuming but in a good way. It is really a habit now, so I whenever I eat, I like knowing how many calories are in it. but if i cant find out then i assume and dont really sweat it.

dont let it consume you and become a obsession.

I also have a insulin pump. Make sure your basal's are right and that your sugars are normal, that is the most important thing. Log your sugars for a week just for yourself and you will see a pattern on if you are low a certain time or high at a certain time, then you can change your basal.

for the overeating, make sure you are bolusing and not letting your sugars get high. but also using a lot of insulin isnt good for losing weight as it is a hormone. maybe your overeating is caused by you using more insulin then you need, insulin makes you feel like you need to eat and makes you feel hungry if you use too much.

if you see a endocrinologist they can refer you to a dietician that specializes in food and diabetes, every department of endochronology i have been to has a dietician they use.

if you have any other questions just message me and ill help you out. having diabetes makes it hard to lose weight but not impossible.

 i make a smoothie or eat a banana in little little pieces. or celery with some jif pb.
and if im not actually hungry then i go up to my room where there isnt any room and take my mind off of food. i find that if you arent doing anything then you think about food a lot.

I am the exact same but for me I just have to have peanut butter once a day and it has to be jif.

Peanut butter has fat that is pretty good for you, reduced fat doesnt have lower calories so i would stick to the regular peanut butter you eat. As for jelly, smuckers makes low sugar (not sugar free) jelly, preserves that taste the exact same as regular full sugared. And I suggest eating it on whole wheat bread, i actually find that pb taste a tons time better on wheat rather then white bread.

Keep eating it everyday, I see nothing wrong with it.  

just cut any fruit or veggys into little little pieces and just take your time eating it, you will enjoy it more.

or almonds take me a long time to eat.

and make it a goal to drink a full bottle of water while you are snacking on something, it will make you full and take away snacking.  

i love quinoa, you can do so much with it. You can eat it warm or cold and cook it with so different veggys. my favorite is eating it cold with diced tomatoes and green onions with lemon juice. sooo good. i def recommend it.

you can also you flatout whole wheat breads that are 100 calories eat and taste so good. Then you put olive oil, low fat cheese, and anytthing else you like. I personally like mushroom, onions, large slices of tomatoes, and black olives. I put it in a toaster oven fro about 10 to 15 minutes in 350 degrees.

very easy and quick and good.  

The only bad thing i had was half a cupcake I made cause it was the first time I made them (i am a pastry chef and practice a lot).

So is it okay if I have a off day again today even though I just had one on tuesday? will it cause me to gain back the 4 pounds i lost? haha.  

Any sort of fish I wouldn't eat before I started this. But now I love making tuna sandwiches and have been craving tilapia and salmon.

Also I use to hate carrots and celery and now I eat them.

I noticed I dont feel the need to eat greasy food if other people in the house are. Like when someone is making onion rings, they will make a lot so people can take some or they will ask if I want some, and usually I would say yes but now I just make my healthy food and eat that instead. i have gained more selfcontrol then i had before. although sweets are still a weekness. 

where do you buy one that last a long time and is accurate?

I have seen cheap ones at target but idk if they are good.  

I just eat it with light mayo, diced celery, diced pickle, and mustard. with whole wheat bread. Its also good with hardboiled egg and mayo.
