Hi Maria. I totally understand the overeating thing and when it's tied into family circumstances, it's worse. I did lose a lot of weight, 6 stones in total, 3 of that last year but I was very ill. It is a very difficult thing to control when it is a lifetime issue and at the moment, I'm battling again - the important thing is that you don't lose hope, ok? Even if you have a bad day, days, weeks, even months - you can still pick up and make changes. I'm more than happy for you to drop me a line here, the hardest part of this is the guilt at what we perceive is our lack of self control but that's need to go. Guilt will hold you back. Let's take it one day at a time? I started out well yesterday and blew it, the day before I just went nuts and binged. But you know something? I really didn't enjoy it at all - kept on eating though and that's the part that a lot of people don't understand. It's ok though, no panicking..and today has been pretty good. We can only take one day at a time Maria. What kind of things are you eating between your meals? I'm assuming that this is where the problem is..let's see if we can take it slowly, one step at a time, and support you xx
PS - A bit of advice. I would drop the morning bg test, for most it is highest then and it's a demoralising way to start the day. Stick to after your meals, two hours after and see what your numbers are like then.
