[QUOTE="toddy35, post: 2282368, member: 525072"] I feel your pain. The low carb route isn't easy, I struggle with it every day but I'm determined to show the GP I don't need medication to deal with this. At least not yet. I don't know how people cope with all they have to give up, it's only been a month or so for me. What I do know is that this is a big change and that means slowly progressing through the shock, denial, anger, depression and negotiation before I finally accept this as my new reality. I can only cope with it a day at a time. I try not to think beyond that. I'm also keeping a gratitude diary. If I'm really struggling I try to change my perspective and remember the bigger picture. I'm not a starving child in Yemen, or a beggar in India or a child prostitute and I don't suffer daily pain. I've a [B]lot [/B]to be thankful for. Life is more than bearable, I just need to watch what I eat. [/QUOTE]
