Hey cdpm, Just wondering how you are doing.....haven't seen an update for a bit now....any new developments? Feeling any more control over things? You are in my thoughts and trust that you are able to give us an update. We really are here for you and want you to succeed with your diabetes....it can't be easy with everything you have to deal with, but, one day at a time is all any of us can do, right? Hang in there - Hugs&blessings/L

hi
still looking for help
but do have someone
looking into it on my
behalf
and just getting food and
leaving most of it at a nearby
family members place
and losing some of my extra weigt
which is allowing a reduction in
my insulin usage
but still no success wit the food
demons
thanks so much for asking

Hey cdpm, good to hear from you....trust help comes soon...keep plugging along....you can overcome this! Glad you have family involved now re: storage of food.....take care, be kind to you - this is a huge hurdle, but you will come out on the other side being the better for it....life really sucks sometimes, but always, there is hope and at least one or two things to be thankful in your day.....Blessings/L

Hey cdpm, try foodaddicstanonymous.org and see if that could be something that you could try....looks pretty interesting or prevention.com (the magazine) and should find something in their healthy eating or weight loss sections? Hope that is a start.....thinking of you/L

This is the thinking which helped me:

I know I will have cravings.
These are cravings
I cant go under them, I cant go over them, I cant go round them, I have to go through them.(from the book we're going on a bear hunt)
I have to face these cravings, day by day, hour by hours, minute by minute, second by second.
It will pass. Every moment the craving will lessen. Its like stopping smoking. I can do this.

I am learning to accept the mouth hunger/emptiness.

This may be of no use to me, but once i accepted the cravings and situation, it helped.

My rule I stick to: Have nothing in the house which triggers or feeds the craving for at least 3 days. I felt like an alcoholic getting clean.

foods
making no sugar source available nearby

the last possible solution i can think of with no help
is to just stop bringing in any food but hypo sources
and hope for good enough weather to go out to get
something every day and no injury or illness

i havent had any professional help yet
but its not from a lack of trying to find it

been trying to stick with my 1 safe food
but its vegetables
and i hate them which is probably why
they are safe for me
not able to have any other foods nearby
which is embarassing to admit
that im such a pig

Binge eating/food addiction is rarely about gluttony or greed. It's usually much more complex that that, and I'm sure you realise this.

When you say you're sticking with your safe food - vegetables, do you mean that's what you can keep at home (and bring in protein/fats) to eat with them, per meal?

My concerno, if you are living purely on vegetables would be that you would be ebale to get adequate nutrition from vegetables alone, over time. Of course, a brief period on only veggies isn't going top hurt anyone, but protein and fats are needed, longer term.

I really do feel for you.

You are not a pig. What you are experiencing is not usual. You are dealing with something very, very difficult. Could you have Leptin issues?

I really don't think you are.... as @lucylocket61 has mentioned above it certainly sounds as if you have some problems with grehlin and leptin the "hunger" and "satiety" hormones. I have no idea how you get these checked out in Canada but that is what your story suggests to me. Is there any way you can get this looked at? It would help you considerably and then you can stop blaming yourself for something you may have no control over..
