I got Diabetes Type 2 from eating too much and too many carbs and candy. It's not fun at all. I have to watch everything I eat now. If I eat the wrong things my meter will tell on me and to the doctor who I show it to. I don't have to show it to him but I choose to; I want to get better. Too bad it took me to get this to learn to eat right. But anyhow, am trying to eat right now. The basics are the 5 food groups ( grains, veggies, meat or poultry or beans and brown rice, dairy, fruit) I have a little from all groups but for carbs I have no white bread, no white rice; whole grains like rye and whole wheat (there are many others out there, too), I only have berries as other fruit raises blood sugar a lot. Eating healthy now feels good and satisfying as I know I am doing what my body needs and every body needs.

I did a terrible job eating for myself today.
I provided specialized meals for both my pets and my wife... that sounds bad, i love my pets immensely, but my wife is certainly top priority. But for myself i ate very poorly. ![]() |

thanks for the response, yes... I understand now- how interesting!. I love learning things. as for why I choose sweets, who really knows I guess it started because I just felt I had no control over which foods I ate (meaning I'd pick something healthy, my body would reject it, I'd sick it back up, and go for the sweets to be full) then it came to the point where no matter how much I was eating, I wasn't full- so I just overate more- and yeah, I suppose harm has stuff to do with it too.
Possible trigger:
so I guess for me it's just a vicious cycle of all that |

I do find it difficult- not all the time, but sometimes I think... really?. I ate all that?. how embarrassing
but then as I say what motivation do I have |

The sad part is that we may not have motivation now but later on in life when we are suffering because of the choices we made, we wish then that we would have had the motivation. Knowing possible end results that can be bad have many times been my motivating factor including with my own ED issues.

I'm intermittent fasting today as long as possible. Yesterday I actually ate 7 pieces of bread!!!! There was 5 pieces left in the loaf. This morning I tore that up outside by the bird bath. So the birds can enjoy the bread. Bread I don't like anywhere near me! I do like eating it. I also work out, tho. And I crave bread alot, from exercise? I want to avoid bread as much as I can, tho.

My day went OK. I ran this morning for quite awhile.
Possible trigger:
At this weight, I shouldn't be running at all, maybe walking some if that. Got to do better with it, but where to channel the stupid anxiety?! Crazy how weight can fluctuate, especially for women. Skipped breakfast. Had some Cheezitz around lunchtime. Not too hungry today. Hopefully, I will do better for dinner. H is working late, but my daughter will be home, so I'll have to make dinner.

Low nitrogen can cause carb cravings. Try combating these with high protein, such as meat, fish, beans, tofu, or quinoa. 😊

yesterday evening I abandoned all plans of a cooked meal and had a KFC.
probably not the best choice, but it was so yummy!. I had 8 peaces of chicken and fries (and a full fat coke), and though it was probably bad choice, it did fill me up- and the rest of the evening wasn't too bad, I settled back on my chair, watched women on the verge (or tried too, having focus issues), drank a bit more coke but didn't eat anything else today though it's back to the drawing board had my marmite on toast and shedloads (I'm talking shedloads) of jelly babies it's not even 10 A.M |

I managed to not smoke weed SO no munchies.
Drinking a bottle of water before eating is a great tip! |

I need to either gain weight or go clothes shopping. Though we have no money. The Catholic church in town does have a Saint Vincent de Paul clothing closet you can access every few months with a utility bill showing residence and a few bills showing recent large expenses like hospitalizations, car repairs, AC repairs (we had 2 large car bills and 2 large AC bills this spring/summer along with my medical stuff). I might try them next week or shortly thereafter, but you usually cannot try on clothes there, just have to bring them back for re-donation and swap if they do not fit. I like my pants to be fitted, and they are all falling down at the waist even with a belt, even the ones that were tight a year ago.
Trying to eat breakfast. Slept 11 hours last night, but most of the week I got 5-6 hr. sleep a night, mostly closer to 5 hr. if FitBit is to be believed. H is working outside and wants a late lunch, which is good since I am trying to get more than coffee down. I have to think Adderall is not having a positive effect on my appetite, but I did drop Wellbutrin recently (which is also known to suppress appetite). I am concentrating better though, able to read and such, and I do not want to give that up for appetite. But who does want more appetite with a stupid ED anyway?

I'm a bit tired. Not sure if it's being off Wellbutrin or outdoor allergies.
I got up early this morning and ran. And ran. And ran. It was one of those days I felt like I could keep going forever. Ran too much for what I ate I'm sure. I have a love/hate relationship with scales. I like knowing the number, but if it's higher than I want it to be, I set up grouchy for the entire day. If it's lower than I expect it, I'm happy and lose sight of the fact I have to maintain a certain weight to stay of of the hospital. Not much appetite today. Some nausea. But I did have a piece of applle pie with vanilla ice cream as a snack this afternoon.

Sounds like something to look forward to. I have gotten lots of help from workbooks on various topics. I love to keep learning, too.

Every time I try to start eating healthier, it quickly dissolves into another binge and I am so disappointed in myself for yet another failure ...
After 47 years (since I was 11) of yo-yo & back and forth, you'd think I'd've figured out how to get it right by now! ![]() |
