GAH!

Alright friends.  I want to show you some wonderful cupcake pictures.

Delicious looking, no?

How about these babies?

via
Om noms and oh so kawaii, right?

So, why on earth am I showing you these get-in-mai-tummy-now treats?

Because, you see... I just came back from the doctor and it turns out

I MIGHT BE DIABETIC.


This is me right now.  Sorry for the low quality scan. I'm not particularly happy at the moment.  This is a big blow, and a huge lifestyle change.  I've just recently got into baking, and I LOVE SWEETS.  So, so much (wipes away tear).

Moderation will be my key word for the next little while.  That, and having to be more crafty and creative with baking recipes, which I'm totally down with.  But still this isn't the results I was expecting.  Initially I went to the doctor to get my heart checked, as I've been having weird heart palpitations lately as well as being super fatigued.   But I guess it makes sense because diabetes ties in with metabolism and that ties in with energy levels.  Still, it sucks ass.  Diabetes runs on both sides of my family.  I believe "double whammy" was the technical term the doctor used.

So...yeah.  Not sure what else to say.  OH, I will be announcing a fun thing tomorrow that I think you all should participate in.  Guess what?  It involves sweet.  OH YEAH.

I'll leave you with some jerk cupcakes taunting me.  Whenever I'm down, I turn to Photoshop to make it hilarious.


(PS...super kawaii cupcakes found herehere, and here.)

Ciao for now bellas!

Hey lady. I am SO sorry to hear this. My fiance is diabetic and it's really a life changing experience that I have grown so much from learning about.

I wish for the best for you, love! If you ever need an ear, I'm here!

Amylou said...

I'm so sorry Erin! That won't be easy I'm sure. I'm hoping that you aren't! THOSE STUPID CUPCAKES!

And thanks for your comment hun! Yes I think it is so important to write about the stressful things every now and then. It feels good to let them out instead of keeping it inside.

I'm so sorry to hear that! :(
I couldn't moderate my intake of sweets, so good luck with that, hahaha. It's nice that you're making it a little comical with Photoshop, though! :)

Celene said...

I'm so sorry to hear that Erin :) Hope you could handle that with the best!

The Lilac Rabbit said...

I hope that's not the case. I've had problems with vertigo and they still haven't officially diagnosed me. They said anemia but even when my iron levels are normal I have problems. Blah! Anyway... I hope it's just some passing thing and there is nothing actually "wrong" with you.

Erin Dawn said...

Thanks you guys. I think if it is diabetes, we've caught it early enough that it'll be ok. Still, it's a shock!

Gertrude said...

I'm so sorry hun! I'm sure you have all the support you need! xo

The Cookie Button said...

These look so yummy! It is such a shame you might be a diabetic :(

Sonya Zombiee said...

NOOOOO!!!
D:

That sucks! Which is putting it lightly but in the specific case of these many cupcakes it SUCKS! I'll have to learn how to make diabetic-friendly cupcakes for you. *serious nodding*

Hello Naka said...

Wish Me Luck said...

Yum I love cupcakes. >:O Those EVIL CUPCAKES for TAUNTING YOU! I never knew cupcakes could be so evil yet so good.

Silver Sisters said...

I feel really bad for laughing so hard right now! LOVED the hand drawn rage self portrait.
I'm sorry you can't eat the cupcakes. I can't eat them either because of the gluten content, but if you really do have diabetes, holy cow, I really hope you don't, that's serious stuff.

Erin Dawn said...

It's cool...the rage face was actually something I drew at work one day when I was super frustrated. It makes me laugh everytime...
