Well, it's now official. I'm prediabetic. My glucose was still a little high even after I'd lost 9 pounds and eaten almost nothing but vegetables. So now the Starvation & Torture Plan must be instituted in earnest to get this weight off because I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BECOME DIABETIC!

Of course this news comes five days before I leave for Italy, which totally and completely SUCKS. I hope it doesn't ruin the whole experience of eating there for me. If I end up being a stressed out mess on vacation, I might as well just hang it up.
