[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1569308, member: 345386"] Hi Curly - I'm really sorry to hear you're in something of a loop with your eating. As someone who had a eating disorder, anorexia in my case, some years ago, I know how it feels to know something simply has to change, day after day, but just not being able to do it. That was, for me, well before I became diabetic, so that was one thing I didn't have to juggle. In the end, I did end up having inpatient treatment for quite some time, because I was really rather ill, and it did help me, but of course, over the longer term, a bit like managing our diabetes, we're the ones who have to manage ourselves and maintain the changes we make. It really is possible to make the changes and maintain them long term, but it isn't a quick process, but that you are trying and reaching out is extremely positive because it shows you have begun your journey to recovery. I'm going to tag [USER=89295]@asortafairytale[/USER] , who is one of the specialist mods for this part of the forum, and hopefully she'll be able to comment specifically for you. If you ever feel you want to contact me, just send me a Private Message. I really, really wish you well. You're not in the best of places right now, but you can leave it behind. Truly you can. Dig in there. [/QUOTE]
