[QUOTE="Karenchq, post: 1244959, member: 298654"] It sounds like that horrid group has the "all or nothing" mentality, doom and gloom. This is exactly the mentality to destroy anyone. Good for you for seeing that and getting away from it. When I was first diagnosed (T1) in March, I felt overwhelmed and anxious too. My mind went to what I couldn't have rather than what I could and that was discouraging and scary. I have changed my diet by eating lower carb meals and yet still enjoy foods that I like in moderation. For example, I like yogurt and used to buy the low fat fruit flavored yogurt. FYI - be careful, many low fat foods are loaded with sugar. Now I buy the plain yogurt which has much less sugar and add a few berries. I like rice, so have switched to whole grain brown rice and rather than eat 1 cup at a serving, I eat 2/3 cup and replace the 1/3 with more vegetables. I eat chocolate, just the dark chocolate in moderation. The good news is that after time your body adjusts and prefers to eat lower carb plus the weight reduces naturally as a benefit of a healthy diet and as a bonus you have more energy. [/QUOTE]
