[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1569330, member: 327005"] Two years ago I bought a blood glucose monitor, I took my own blood sugar, the answer came up well out of range . I put the monitor back in the drawer , refused to think about it. Over the course of that next year, I lost a lot of weight, I put the same weight back on. I spent most days in a complete tizz, knowing I was ill, fearing to even look up what it was going to do to me , avoiding going to the doctor, spending my mornings feeling sick, my afternoons sleeping and my nights unable to sleep and eating god knows what - mainly carbs. Then I got the diagnosis and I spent a couple of days reading up on things. One paper stuck in my mind - One woman who had achieved so much by adopting a 70% fat diet and a light bulb went on. I though - ****** me - if she can do it then so can I. I threw away the carbs, I went out and bought bacon . eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and butter and I ate them whenever I felt hungry, within a very few days I started to feel better II made sure if I was going to binge - then it would be more bacon and eggs or a huge steak. You already have your answer - you know what you can eat, you know how to do this, you need to find your light bulb moment. You came to the right place to find it , there are so so many people here with success stories. You don't need to feel alone because practically every one of us battled some personal demon to get us to where we are today, and every one of us knows this is a fight for life in an ongoing battle to fight the damage that modern life did to us. None of your current situation is your fault, its the fault of years of bad dietary advice and the sale of foods not fit for purpose. but you have the power to stick it to the world, by showing that you can beat it Have a look around and see if you can find something that resonates with you. .
