I have been in a very bad place for the last three months, I have let everything get out of hand, eating absolute rubbish food that deep down I know is bad for me, high carbs etc. My sugar levels have been averaging at 7.3 where as my last 3 monthly check at the Drs was 6.3 and I have put 2kgs back on. I know where this all came from though so at least I can understand it. When I had my 3 monthly check up I was really disappointed as my machine readings were below 5.4 all the time so I think it came as a shock that the Dr said it was 6.3 and I was deflated in one fell swoop, started thinking why do I bother, I had worked really hard, ate properly, upped my walking, and lost 6kg.However yesterday a light seemed to click on in my head, I spoke to my husband (who is very supportive whatever I do) and told him I am going to prove to myself that I can do it and that it is worth it. I am not on any medication and do not want to go on any for as long as I can.
I started to write down some very nice recipes from this site to make my own meals instead of the bland ready meals that I have been eating. I do not like yoghurt or very spicy food, nor do I like avocados some things will have to be changed, I cannot stomach eating first thing in the morning unless cereals, but as they are out now I will have to look into something different, but as I said I am in a very positive mood and I am not going to make any more excuses just do things.
Watch this space everyone and see if I really have turned the dreaded corner, I know you will all support me in my battle.
