[QUOTE="greenmonkey, post: 20659, member: 10798"] Jessie - you sound just like me! I've been Type 1 for about three years now. I've ALWAYS struggled to control my BS, and I think I've had about two months in all that time when I've kept it below 15. That is shocking, I know. I'm OK if I can kick the 'bad' food for a few days. I seem not to crave it..... then someone will offer me something - and, like you, I have little will power - and it'll all spiral out of control.... and then I'll just start buying chocolate, etc. I'm slim too, and I eat a healthy diet - when I sort myself out. Don't get me wrong, its not just the food that has caused such terrible control. Stress, etc also plays a role. When stressed, my BS rockets and I get ravenously hungry.... and I turn to junk food. All a catch-22, I guess. I've had problems with insulin and so on lately. My BS has been appauling and I'm sick of going to the loo about ten times every night. Lord knows what damage I've done in such a short space of time. I'm in my early twenties and in ten years time I don't want to be wishing I'd done everything differently. I'm the same in that I think about food ALL the time! I have found though, if I stick to a low carb diet - fresh veg and fruit, I can kick the cravings. Its also useful to keep yourself active. If I'm bored, etc, I think about food more. At the moment, I'm not active and I'm stressed....so I've got myself into a state! There's no excuse though. Today, I'm starting over! Try and avoid the rubbish people offer you. In the brief times I've sorted my diet and exercise, I have felt so good. I've watched other people scoff McDonald's and other such junk food and felt really proud that I don't have the desire for all that. I reckon the key is a low-carb diet (which will be hard at first - I had terrible cravings, but they lasted only a couple of days) and keeping active. You don't have to cut out everything 'bad for you' obviously, but you will find you desire it less. I got to the point where I would feel ill if junk food was on offer to me. It reminded me of how awful I would feel after eating it. That's why I'm annoyed I'm back in the loop. Today, I'm on fish, vegetables and fruit....and I'm off to the gym. [/QUOTE]
