I seem to keep cycling through 3 phases, lasting about a week (or less) at a time..
First phase.. I start feeling hopeful that I can control this and will be able to sort everything out.. I eat healthy, my blood sugars come down and start looking more stable.. but then it just becomes too much for me to to maintain. Watching every calorie, sugar intake, going shopping to buy the food, being able to afford good food, etc.. so I just fall back into second phase...
.. I end up binge high carb easy to cook food, pastas, pizzas, chips.. then see my blood sugars going crazy.. get even more depressed.. start drinking.. stop monitoring my blood sugar for a few days.. before I eventually hit 3rd phase..
.. which is pretty much living off bacon and eggs for breakfast and that's all I'll eat for the entire of the day..
I just went to try and make some healthy food, I'm feeling starved and I want something tasty.. but there's nothing in the house. Looked at a jar of sweet n' sour sauce to mix with some chicken and veg and thought that might work well if I only have a small bit.. but it's 14g of sugar for 1/4 of the jar. I'd previously would have eaten an entire jar in one day.
I'm just feeling exhausted, ****** off and I think I'll just stop eating altogether. I can't go back to the phase where I binge eat and drink, I know I can't.. I've done that too often recently and seeing how it takes my blood sugars so high has got me feeling terrified.. but I just.. I don't know. I hate this.
