[QUOTE="JenniferW, post: 978535, member: 191472"] I've appreciated a lot of the things you've said here as someone else with a lifetime of eating problems / issues. I understand quite a lot about how they developed, and you're right, as much as that helps, it doesn't solve the real problems of the physiological damage I'm doing myself. One of the most helpful things said to me about it was by the diabetes nurse I see at my GP's, who said she thought we just have to work with it. That was a shock! I've always assumed I must somehow 'cure' the disordered eating, and after working through an assortment of approaches, had no confidence that I'd ever manage to do that. She said she'd seen too many people with a range of eating disorders to believe we understand it all well, and that there aren't straightforward 'cures' out there. As a result, and with the help of recently going on an X-PERT course where one of the things we were taught was realistic goal-setting, in the 5 months since my T2 diagnosis, I think I've made some small steps in the right direction. Definitely [I]small [/I]steps, but enough to make me start to believe real long-term improvement actually is possible. But you're right, it is about taking personal responsibility. [/QUOTE]
