[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 677021, member: 100904"] I didn't think you were shouty, [USER=128605]@Janice2209[/USER] . I do think you are desperate for a solution. The wait for the psych consultation can't be helping. Can your GP assist in speeding it up? As for Newcastle diet, for me it was the short term, rapid weight loss that got me started on the right track. Although I have had some weight gain, I remain considerably lighter than I used to be, and I have developed a taste for low carb foods. I do not use LCHF diet advocated by many on forum, because I want to lose weight quicker than that would allow. That will be something I will follow when I am nearer my correct weight. A fair way to go yet. I think being free of diabetes BG levels encourages me to stay on track, but have had blips. One following immobility due to having 2 major operations, another when I foolishly started testing limits on how much carb food I could consume without spiking BG. There was no effect on BG, but I put weight on, and found it difficult to stop eating high carb, addictive foods. I appreciate you not saying 'well done'. I too find it intrusive when other people, sometimes casual acquaintances, comment on my appearance. Like you I wonder why they feel it is something I have 'achieved' when I have lost weight, and say nothing if I gain. I wonder what they must think of the fat me.
