Welcome back.
Congratulations on the birth of your baby. I know that after a baby is born your whole world turns upside down.
Now that you have come back it is time to stop beating yourself up about the past and look to the future as a healthy person for your son and partner.
I also consider myself reasonably intelligent however, my relationship with food is way outside logic. You know what you have to do and you've done it before. Now that you've started getting the right mental state the rest can follow.
Good luck!
@zand you are very kind, thank youAll I can say is Wow! You are amazing! You controlled your BGs well during pregnancy, what a wonderful achievement. Well done you. You should feel proud
I agree with @VashtiB stop beating yourself up, most of us struggle sometimes. You have done it before and you can do it again, you have lots of lovely years ahead with your boy and you will enjoy them more if you are fit and healthy.
So welcome back, you are in the right place.Now for the next stage of your plan.
Oh my goodness @Mbaker! They are motivation indeed. I really hope you managed to get your diabetes under control and your eye issues resolvedOne of the pillars of me fighting Type 2, was not being able to fully see my daughters face, who was about 18 feet away from me.
Children are a great inspiratory reason to regain as much health as possible, but also be motivated for yourself.
thankyou @DJC3 thank you also for your kind words. You are all so lovely and supportive on here. I think I’ve realised that, although my family and friends are amazing, it doesn’t compare to the understanding we get from others who are living it. Posting fbs and food is a great tip - I’m going to start posting too, good or bad! Great way to stay focussed as you said. Thank youWelcome back @rads41 and congratulations on the birth of your healthy baby 4 years ago. Congratulations on keeping control of your blood glucose during pregnancy too, and more congratulations for coming back here! You should be very proud of your achievements. As @VashtiB says, our relationship with food often defies logic - it’s very little to do with intelligence.
For me, just logging into the forum every day really helps keep me focussed. I post my fbg even when it’s high and I post my food in a different thread, even when I’ve eaten badly. It helps keep me accountable to myself.
You’ll do it again, you have even more reason to get back in control now. Go for it.
Yes it is! I was also talking to myself as I wrote it.@zand also it’s very hard to feel proud of yourself , how crazy is that?! I am going to make a concerted effort to be kinder to myself
