Oops! Sorry! Didn’t mean to repost that! This is a message for Dudette1, Jo123, DCUKMod, Resurgam and Mrs T:- I’m so sorry, folks, I missed all your comments because I’ve stopped getting notifications in my email, for some reason. I thought it had suddenly gone very quiet here - and when I...

Thank you! I’m quite blown away by all the support & encouragement on here! ❤️

Hi, Thank you. I’m liking the non-tropical fruit part. I didn’t know that. So tropical fruit in general must have the most sugar, then? So no mangos, pineapple, kiwi etc. Is Mediterranean ok? So oranges, grapes etc? And what about melon? ()

Made them last over both weekend days.... There’s still most of the Doritos, a double biscuit and one Cadbury’s white choc Oreo bar left....

Definitely. For me, the moment of eating chocolate is the only time I feel safe, and that everything will be ok (bizarrely! ) whereas for others I think perhaps the moment of choosing not to eat would bring about similar feelings. And yes - it’s not nearly as bad as that at the moment, because...

Hello, Yes, when I’m throwing caution to the winds and eating as much chocolate as I’d like (which means never a moment when there isn’t chocolate in my mouth - like chain-smoking, I guess...) then I automatically seem to go off all thoughts of normal food. I used to force myself to eat some...

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just that, is enough to make me listen, and go, “Oh, okay – no carbs then!” No-one has ever said to me that carbs per se are inflammatory; nor that they cause water retention. In fact, having lived with the Slimming World eating plan for several...

Thank you. I will tell myself that, and try to “see” it, when I’m tempted (as I’m no sure I will be...miracles take a little longer, lol!)

Well put. Thank you. Funny, I (periodically) worried about my heart, my back, my legs, my blood pressure – but it never occurred to me to worry about my pancreas (and I’ve had bad pancreatitis in the past, too). Wake-up time...

PS. Thank you! I love that - that I did this and I can sort this - and quite straightforwardly, you think. I’ll def take your confidence in this time next year being different!

I am ****** mad!! I seem to be pushing and pushing waiting for someone or something to say “No! Enough! Stop!” I’m hoping that this being diagnosed as diabetic will be that shout. That’s why I wanted to write down in black and white what I’m doing, for people to see it. It doesn’t shock me...

Hi, Thanks for replying. I have had lots of help over recent years with mental health issues, of which my unhealthy eating is a part - but am not getting any specific help with the binge eating, which this time got out of hand during lockdown. When I am by not binge-eating chocolate, I do...

Hello, I’m newly diagnosed, on the phone, and haven’t yet had the chat with my nurse about foods and diet going forwards. I also have an eating disorder, where I overeat and purging does not happen!! It all stays in. In recent months I have been particularly stressed and struggling, and have...
