[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2306132, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome, Yes like other posters I absolutely believe that you know what you eat. I have also had doctors not believe me that I was eating 'healthily' exercised and counted calories. The fact that I was obese meant that obviously I was lying or unable to count calories. When my husband confirmed me they would consider that maybe it was possible- although I suspect they didn't really believe. I too found this site and cut my carbs dramatically- my b mood sugars are in the n normal range I've lost weight and not counted calories for a long while. I may have to again if I stop losing weight but I suspect counting. carbs is the real key. The diagnosis can be devastating. I am a carboholic. I thought I would not be able to manage it- the people on this amazing site helped me and I am absolutely able to do this. There are still some days when I get down about the fact that I will never be able to eat some of the stuff I love but I have made the choice that my eyes and limbs are way more important. I find the fewer carbs I have the less I physically crave them. Stick around- I am confident that following the advice here you will find it possible. You will also meet some of the most compassionate, generous wonderful people- in fact you have already met some of them. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
