[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1701477, member: 412001"] Stress is a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy: you worry that you're not well, you start getting stressed about it, the hormones produces when you're stressed start to negatively impact your health, confirming and intensifying your fears and so on it all goes. The first thing, before you do anything else, is to break that cycle of worry. You've identified your problem and a proposed course of action - that's a fab first step. You've found your way here and asked for advice - that's two positive steps already! Now take a breath and give yourself some time to read about other people's experiences, maybe look up some LCHF, Newcastle and other dietary stuff and [i]keep asking questions[/i]. Joining a community like this one will confirm lots of positive things: 1.You're not alone! 2. You're not crazy! 3. It's entirely possible to take control of your health (and life) with minimal willpower (important! We're not superheroes!) 4. Your journey is not laid out before you: you still have choice and power. 5. Everything is an experiment and you get to find out what works for you and what doesn't. 6. You still have lots of time to figure things out. Particularly as I'm T2, I'd also add that you're far from alone in having a "binge eating disorder", and many, many people here will be able to relate to the issues you've faced. Give yourself some time to look around these boards. Ask all the questions you need. Look at what people who cut out carbs are eating and what the impact on them has been. Understand you're not alone. Brace for any number of e-hugs from Forumites. Consider starting a blog to help organise your thoughts and chart your journey (I find this INCREDIBLY useful). Not everything you read will be useful to you, but there is nothing you're facing that hasn't been dealt with by someone here already. And, more practically, read Daisy's post a few times - it's incredibly info-rich - and follow that link to the Low Carb programme. It's an excellent, free, web-based, no-stress introduction to LCHF. Welcome - it's good that you're here. Now take a breath and know that everything's okay. Sock xx [/QUOTE]
