[QUOTE="samanthabird83, post: 2273633, member: 525868"] You struggle to lose weight and you feel the easy and only way to do that is to purge insulin. You feel sick all the time and guilty because you're not present to care for your little one and you feel like your body is crying out for help, but for some reason, you don't feel like you can connect your mind to give your body what it needs because of the connection between weight and insulin. You feel extremely frustrated and somewhat powerless over this internal debate that you're tired of constantly fighting. You're stuck between wanting to be healthy and wanting to be slim, all the while affecting the condition of your mind negatively with the mixed message you're feeding into yourself. Instead of focusing on everything and tying it all in together, why don't you just focus on one commitment to yourself at a time? Maybe forget about all the different things you need to do to care for diabetes and all the ways you cant lose weight, and just promise yourself, just for today, you're going to take your Lantus. Decide not to think about it not to worry about any consequences, just take that Lantus today. Every day just make one of these commitments, one of these promises to yourself, and do just this one thing and nothing else. Doing this will release you from the massive pit of confusion and despair that comes with diabulimia and will enable you to feel like you're looking after yourself even in a small way. You will feel empowered by this one small change and you will feel like you're really moving yourself out of the problem and into the solution. This one small promise will give you the strength to make more small promises as the days pass perhaps but doing just this one small thing for yourself will build you up and allow you to feel like you are loving for and caring for yourself again. It will reconnect you to the self you have temporarily lost and will remind you that you can do this, you can cope, you can love yourself and you are worth it. So much love to you at this time my Diabetic sister. xx [/QUOTE]
