[QUOTE="mazza 2, post: 2017839, member: 468347"] I completely understand how you feel. I think with lots of things in life, when you need to reach a goal, you are really motivated, but once you've reached that goal, what next? Once you've got your levels to what they should be, and even though you hopefully feel good, you suddenly realise this is for life. As you say, you haven't any visceral fat and nor have I, but I'm still diabetic. It sucks lol. I think the best way for me to handle this realisation is to take it one day at a time. I don't try to think about next week or next year. Apart from the fact I have to eat a different diet to someone without diabetes, this is my choice. lots of people ignore it. I know it doesn't help you or me but there are so many different conditions people have and they have to live with certain restrictions just to keep alive and well. Although, you and I will always have diabetes, if we try 99 percent of the time to be good, eg. diet, exercise, I personally, don't see why we can't have occasions where we can be a little naughty, as long as it's only seldom. In a way it's best to try and see the upside of this condition such as for some people, they've lost loads of weight, they have become active, they have reduced other problems like high blood pressure due to the change in their diets and lastly, they are happier in themselves. Sorry, I'm probably not that helpful, but I do know how you feel and that's fine, everybody feels like this sometimes, it will pass and you'll find your motivation again. Take Care [/QUOTE]
