My first post in here forgive me if i step on any toes while i get aquainted. For my first attempt, may i say thank you to all for the patience and guidance that has got to me here..safely. May i present, my breakfast V 2.0..new improved, healthier and tasty in that great T2D way....:D ( and...

Thank you so much Shelley...it's so encouraging to read about the big D diagnosis turning your life around...I've seen it more than once on here. It's like a wake up call after sleepwalking for years. I do have Headspace on my phone, am really resistant to settling down and being still, although...

I used to use 1-2-3 Magic with my daughter, I remember the first time she was sitting in the asda trolley seat screaming her head off...only needed to get to ‘1’ and her mouth shut tight! I was astounded and so were a few other shoppers...i think that book saved my sanity!

Thank you Shelley! I am finding my denial is more short-lived because of this forum, have a tendency to stick my head in the sand or be flippant about serious subjects, prob an anxiety thing. I remember plucking up the courage to ask my gp years ago for help with my binge eating...her response...

Late to the game and all the wrong way round but was 6.2 this morning, 5.5 before dinner and 5.6 2 hours after dinner...would like my morning number to be better and running out of strips but hoping it to come down now the food is on track

Evening all...today’s food consisted of...peanuts (i know i got hangry because i left breakfast til 2pm) For dinner a chicken leg, sprouts with pancetta and soft cheese, broccoli...tiny amount of strawberries and blueberries with cream and greek yogurt and 2 squares dark chocolate. BG was 5.5...

Hi, this is a miserable place to be for sure...there’s a free book on amazon for kindle download called ‘Never Binge Again’ you don’t necessarily have to be a binge eater to find it useful but it makes you look at the food issues/cravings differently... I managed to stop my bad habits a while...

Morning, 6.2 on waking...hmm...still new so not sure what to make of it. Have a great day everyone

Oh wow, thank you for this! Saved to my phone

Hi thank you...yes we do have one, I’ve never managed to get there to coincide with the reduced prices yet but will make it a priority. I love a bargain! Almost bought some biscuits ‘for my daughter ‘ and picked them up/put them down a few times before i came to my senses! Happy to say she now...

Howdy all...am daydreaming about roast lamb...one of the best kitchen smells there is! It's dark and grey and rainy...I love it! So far today, one black coffee, one coffee with cream, one litre of water and soon to be tucking into some bacon and eggs for lunch. Yesterday evening I couldn't...

Well, me again... Very very hungry today...prob carb hangover. Today...coffee, egg and bacon, 2 boiled eggs... Small handful of blueberries and strawberries with sprinkle of toasted coconut and flaked almonds, grated dark chocolate...cream and greek yogurt. Not going to attempt to stay low...

Morning ☺️ Woke this morning feeling as though I’d swallowed a couple of pillows after yesterday’s culinary shenanigans... So far...1.5 black coffees, lemsip (not again as just checked and it has 5g carbs ) Some psyllium husk in SF squash, 1 litre water and just about to have 2 eggs and dry cure...

Today’s food was bad bad bad...just checking in though because tomorrow’s is going to be better...even if i have to post each mouthful to make sure it happens! Evening all ☺️

Thanks Guzzler... I keep buying the good stuff...I actually prefer it to the rubbish I’ve been eating...i did it today too...I don’t enjoy the food even so I’m guessing i must be using it for its numbing qualities! I kinda wish I hadn’t asked for the test now, i would still have been...

So true ☺️

Thank you such a great resource

Hi Diawara That’s a fantastic turnaround I guess I’m not alone then! Getting anxious about being anxious doesn’t help...think I should accept that it’s quite a common reaction and stop beating myself up...as this is what perpetuates the binge cycle.. Not giving up though...not an...

Hi, thank you It’s horrible to feel out of control around food...i wish mine had been low carb...it was a load of garbage really... But yes i think I’ll take a page from your book and stock up on healthier options...getting the yoga mat out would trump everything, if only that was as...

Thanks Paul, Much appreciated...stupid anxiety...it can be so destructive sometimes Will give the info another read...
