Thirteen days in and I get weighed tomorrow. I’ll let you know how I get on

There’s not a lot of help to be had here unfortunately. I’ve asked for some more psychological therapy recently but was told there’s a two year waiting list. So I’ve asked to go on it. Will have to check if there’s anything else available when I next see my GP. But I am being careful and mindful.

Hi Pipp. I’ve been dieting since I was about 8 ( thanks to the old school system) so I’ve probably tried most ones going. I’m very good at sabotaging myself as I’m an emotional eater and binge eater. I’ve been floundering now for about two years trying to improve things and getting no ware. Also...

Hi blue tit. This is being closely monitored by the dietician. The plan is to do very low carb and introduce food very slowly after the 12 weeks so I don’t wreck the results from the Newcastle diet. So hopefully things will continue in a positive light.

Totally random I’m afraid had little control over anything. If nothing else this is giving me direction Maggie

My dietician was of sick so I finally managed to see the actual diabetic dietician last week. It was good to talk to someone who knows what their talking about. I’m the wrong side of 50, obese and apple shape so all my weight is around my belly. I also have a inflamed fatty liver. So her advise...

Hi Chaps and Lasses, Not really sure where to post but this is where I started October 2016, so it only seemed right to start here again. Last posted July 2017, went on a so called 'Expert' course, all it succeeded in doing for me was to confuse me and turn everything I'd learned here on its...

Hi and welcome to the forum. It's hard when you already have so much going on to contemplate having Diabetes as well and it will come as a shock if and when you receive the full diagnosis as it did me and many others on here. But your no longer on your own in all of this, you have made the...

Hi @TURBO911_ I was only diagnosed in October 2016 and type 2 so I don't know what its like to be a diabetic for such a long time or even type one, but one thing I have learnt is what ever type you have its difficult to get your head around and keep on track with it all. Your right there is no...

Hi and welcome @greenfield1. Sorry I haven't got to your message sooner. I'm type 2 diagnosed in 2016, but I have had depression and anxiety for many years so if there is any thing I can help with just ask. You say that the depression is now affecting your diabetes, may I ask in what way? Is...

Hi Things were difficult with my mum from my perspective but not the rest of my family's. But I had a good relationship with my own daughters until I got divorced when I was seriously ill with depression and my ex took advantage and turned them against me but I wont go into all of that here. I...

Hi Resurgam, I rely on texts, whats-app and good old fashion letter writing to communicate with my girls. Unfortunately my Skype is kaput! Several friends have tried but failed to fix it so I can't see and chat to them as I'd like. Also they make excuses for me not to be able to contact them on...

Hi EllsKBells, Good to hear from you again. Its been a bit better today thanks. I've had lots of like minded people around today so good distraction therapy! When able I volunteer for a Mental Health Charity. Today I forced myself to go on an outing to an Art Gallery; when well; one of my...
