[QUOTE="ellalla, post: 2243932, member: 460402"] I'll definetely tackle that, thanks. That's what I thought, thanks for the clarification. I've been a binger for most of my life. The binging stopped years ago. But it was no healing, only a truce. Meaning, as long as I ate 'inutuitively' and put no restrictions on my food, my ED would stay calm. I wouldn't binge, wouldn't gain weight, wouldn't stress out. That was quite a achievement for me. The only downside: It didn't agree with my diabetes. 80 units of Lantus and a1c of 103 last summer Then - after years of therapy- I found out last summer, my eating and my emotions weren't as entangled as before. I now can reason with myself, I can decide 'that's enough'. Still, I had so many hard relapses due to me restricting myself in the past, that I'm treading very carefully. The deal I made with myself is: I eat what I want, but only up to 2000cal (and no pasta, only one baked good a day) as long as I keep loosing weight and lowering my a1c (currently 5 stone lost and last a1c at 46). I knew from the beginning, I would have to switch to low carb eventually. But not going full monty immediately made the road ahead much less daunting and probably also safer for me. Thanks for understanding. [/QUOTE]
