Oh, I'm not going to have them Milly, just want them because I can't have them. Do you ever feel like that? Is it normal?

It's all the more tempting because you know you can't have them... I was like that yesterday when my son had rice and i had grated cauliflower instead. I LOVE rice and will eat heaps of it with just a dash of salt and tons of vinegar. Those days have to be gone now. And it's so hard because im such an emotional eater. I eat when I'm unhappy and since im unhappy 95%of the time well i eat a lot too. Except when I sleep...im at my happiest when I'm asleep :/
 
Daughter just been to spend her pocket money and bought some choclate, found her eating it in the dining room as she didn't want to eat it in front of me. Bless, told her to come in the living room and eat all she wanted. I have a lovely supportive family :)

I eat when I'm unhappy too Muggle, and when I am bored but managing not to eat the wrong things so far. Long may it continue.

It's a bit rubbish when you have to think about every mouthful. But I just keep thinking about how rotten ive felt and how much better I feel now im making better food choices. I have a friend who is also type 2, she is extremely large, and she eats as she pleases and takes extra diabetic meds. Im sure that can't be good. Id rather take control now ive decided to face it at last
 
I am very large too Muggle, and I have eaten what I pleased up until the last couple of weeks but being ill has made me realise what I'm doing to myself. And I'm changing, actually seeing my weight and BG decrease has been a life changing event for me and I'm so pleased with myself.

I was a size 30-32 trouser/skirt and top when I was with my husband. I was so low I was almost suicidal, infact if I hadn't had the kids i probably would have ended it. I left him feb 3 2010 after discovering yet another affair on jan 25. Im now a size 20 trouser/skirt and 24 -26 top (huge bosom im afraid) but I still see myself as a 30-32. I don't see that ive lost a lot of weight and still feel self loathing every time I look in a mirror. Im hoping i too will feel more positive about myself if I can stick at this

Stay with it ladies. My sister was type 2, ended up on injections, I don't think she was ever given the correct advice on food.
She had a lot of bleeding in her eyes and had to have laser treatment on them.
I am not trying to worry you, I am just stating a fact.

Dear @Muggle71, it sounds to me like you are doing great, it is hard at the beginning as we get used to a new way of eating,it almost feels like a new way of life. I've been getting hungry and am trying eating nuts as snacks...not too many, just a handful, and they seem to fill me up in a helpful way. Do you like nuts, and if so, which are your favourites? I like almonds and walnuts! (They have low carbs, but also the good fats in them)

All the best and take care.

Thanks daffodils, my all time favourite nuts are pistachios. I have been known to go back through the shells and suck them after ive eaten the nuts lol

P M A Muggle,
Positive, Mental Attitude.
Together we can and will do it.
I could just go and eat one of husbands donuts, but I had a piece of cheese instead.
