[QUOTE="stevenkpalmer, post: 2104820, member: 511440"] Hi I'm T2d like you and still adjusting to life. I know I am diabetic because I am overweight, and I know why. 1 I cant resist cakes, biscuits esp with coffee. 2 I like a drink especially wine with food. After a bottle of wine my resistance disappears and I'll eat any rubbish. 3 I like freshly made bread with loads of butter and marmite or cheese. The way I am managing this is to keep reminding myself why it will be positive to lose weight. My clothes will fit. I will look better. My diabetes will be under control so I will be at less risk of a heart attack of stroke. Thats what really terrifies me- the idea that I will be laid up immobile unable to do things because of a stroke. These thoughts help motivate me not to buy bread, cakes and booze, and to cook and eat healthy tasty fresh food instead of cloying starchy pies and spuds. [/QUOTE]
