[QUOTE="Mrs T 123, post: 2282700, member: 526020"] Hi MrsA2 Hopefully things have just seemed worse for you at the moment with the whole COVID lockdown situation. I know for myself I have been struggling recently and I have been diagnosed Type 2 for around 3 years now. I managed to put it in to remission fairly quickly but it is hard at first finding out what you can't eat anymore and you do miss your favourites but through time you find other favourite foods. It can be very difficult when everyone around you is eating what they want and you can't and they don't understand - very frustrating - I know people who think I worry too much about my diabetes and take it too seriously as they know other people with it who just don't care?? I understand where you are coming from re: your hubby booking a table for yous - I used to be very sociable pre COVID but now I am really anxious about doing the social things I used to again but then again I can't put my life on hold forever until they find a vaccine which might never happen and I have to start living again instead of just existing. COVID situation isn't going to change anytime soon so I need to change the way I deal with it. A positive of lockdown has given me extra time to find this website, lose weight and eating healthier. Rant over. Take care - roller coaster of life! [/QUOTE]
