Skittles to the Rescue
July 16th, 2007 by Chris SWhat is your favorite thing to eat to cure a low? Mine happens to be skittles, but I don’t know how to control how much to eat. And for that reason, it usually sends me into a high. I don’t know about you, but I over eat just about everytime I try to fix a low. And after testing again after about a half hour, a 50 level will be around 200-250.
The skittles work fast, and they taste a lot better then sugar tabs. But, this weekend began the start of my new diet and plan to lose 10-15 pounds, so I cut out the skittles and will use the tabs to fix a low.
While at the movies this weekend with my girlfriend seeing, “Knocked Up”, in the middle of laughing, I began to feel shaky and knew a low was coming. So being at the movies, you would have figured I had lots of candy, but nope… just sugar tabs. So as I went to open the bottle, they slipped out of my hand and they fell all over the floor. I don’t know how you feel about your local movie theatre, but the 5 second rule is NOT in effect here.
What was I going to do to fix my lower? I had no candy. Luckily, my wonderful girlfriend pulled out a pack of skittles and said, “here, I knew you would want these tonight.”
So, maybe its just fate, or maybe not, but skittles still are my choice of a fix.
