I'm so disheartened and disgusted with myself! This **** is hard for me to get off of. It's worse than my vaping addiction! I can go through one vape pen in a week. I go through 24 Coke zeros in two to three days.
And I'm so FAT. We increased my metformin, so I'm hoping that helps. This is the fattest I've been in awhile. I'm just so uncomfortable and so frantic! I've been exercising, taking daily walks, and watching what I eat, but NOTHING seems to be helping!!! And I'm so OUT OF SHAPE. It's sad when a simple walk tires you out.
I don't know. I'm just not happy right now.  |

raspberrytorte I feel the same way you do. I am 210 pounds, the biggest I've ever been my whole life. I remember reading diary entries where I used to cry about being 170, it's unbelievable that I would want to be at least close to that weight again.
I understand your fight with these caffeine drinks - have you tried a drink called Starry? They have that here in black cans, they are pretty good, and they are good for diabetics.

bizi I am trying to avoid stabbing myself everyday with insulin. I am on glypizide and actose now because the metformin really upset my stomach. My sugar was 201 this morning, still really high but much better than the 376 it was just a week ago. I've been eating really healthy too, I cut everything bad for me out and drinking a lot of water. It sucks I have to eat this way my whole life, I feel so defeated.
The only good thing is my bipolar has been manageable. No episodes or hospitalizations in over a year which is such an achievement because I used to be hospitalized every year. It's my health which is the real concern now.
