Hi there, it's been a while since I last posted anything although from time to time I've visited just to see how folk are doing.
I'm hoping that you might be able to give me some support as I seem to have lost my way with the low carb method.
I began this last June and was getting on great, I went really cold turkey, cutting almost every thing out and found that I lost weight, was able to reduce my insulin dramatically and was feeling good about myself. I did have a run in with GP and diabetic nurse at hospital clinic and later with the dietician, but I stuck to my guns and kept going. My hubby, who is not diabetic, saw how well I was doing and decided to also cut down on carbs and he now looks fab, lost much more weight than I did.
Here's where I need the support..... Since christmas I've been steadily eating more carbs and it seems my old bad habits have returned, I've also put back on some of the weight I had lost, and I'm beating myself up about it but, not enough to stop the eating.
At the present time I am off work with stress, caused by work, but I can also feel as I am slipping into a bit of depression, I'm trying to catch myself before it gets too far. I am constantly tired, but then I sleep very poorly and my workload is too stretched contributing to the stress and exahustion I feel. There are other problems at work, other staff mainly, which leaves me feeling anxious and dreading going into work. I've still to discuss this with Gp, gosh I'm rambling...I want to get back on to my eating regime, but don't know how to do it, can anyone give me any advice/tips to help me? I must begin to feel better in the hope that i will get stronger in order to cope with all the elements at work that is causing the problems for me at the moment.
I know everyone is different and what works for them is different, but I wondered if there is anyone in the same boat..
Hoping someone will reply
