I spent 4-5 weeks prior to the holidays on what lifestyle change I want to make. I say lifestyle because diets are a sure fire way to gain weight.

I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my daughter in 90/91

So a Simple diabetic diet , super easy to follow. Lots of variety. Once or twice a month I will eat whatever I have been craving.. it’s really about portion control.

As for exercise I have Fibro and Psoriatic arthritis ( PsA)and a trip to the damn grocery store is almost more than I can handle. But I hope to start a new biologic for the PsA and can become more active.

Anyway .... my lifestyle changes start in a few days.

Oh yeah almost any major change in food intake whether it be portion sizes or actual foods generally will make a person feel half sick the first few weeks and our bodies adjust then the weight will stop dropping off.

Because of my ED I can’t weight myself it’s a huge trigger so I just go by how my clothes are fitting and when I can get back into smaller clothes.
