[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1650380, member: 265172"] Hi and welcome [USER=460940]@Diabetes.PCOS[/USER] . I'm tagging [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] , as if I recall correctly she has experience of PCOS. I have in the past had an inappropriate relationship with food - I went through phases of 'eating the house', as I call it. Entire boxes of cereal, packets of biscuits, multipacks of crisps - lots and lots and lots. I am much more stable now with my eating although I can't pinpoint what it was which lifted me out of that situation, I'm afraid - having said that I did have a bit of a moment yesterday, but nothing on the scale I used to experience. These days I eat far less carbohydrate than I used to - as a type 1 I can eat carbs and bolus the correct amount of insulin to 'cover' them, but I have in time just found that it's easier for me (fewer risks of spikes and hypos) if I don't eat much carbohydrate. I really really don't feel as if I'm missing out, and in fact I find I stay feeling much fuller for much longer than in my days of porridge and sandwiches. There is some talk of carbs being 'addictive', and now I don't eat a huge amount of carbohydrate I certainly don't find I'm craving them. And that really helps with not falling into my old trap of inappropriate eating. If I do need to snack I'll snack on hardboiled eggs with mayonnaise, or a Babybel cheese or something. I don't bother with potatoes or pasta or rice for meals, just have a load of extra veg, or cauliflower mash or cauliflower rice with whatever else I'm having (meat, fish, whatever). Starch isn't something I miss. I would find after a binge I would feel swollen and hurty all over (not just my tummy, but my whole body), and even if I've eaten too much on occasion in more recent times, I just don't experience that pain any more. Sending a hug. Love Snapsy :) [/QUOTE]
