[QUOTE="munchykins78, post: 346132, member: 56767"] After being in "Diabetic Denial" since my last HbA1c I have now decided to give a LCHF diet some commitment. I have been suffering from anxiety and depression for the last 3 months (probably longer, but that is when my husband dragged me to the doctor) and have been comfort eating like a monster. I ashamedly weighed 120kg when i last went for my diabetic check, and despite seeing a dietician (who said i should have carbs at every meal!) i have gained another five and a half kilos. I think the anti-depressants might have slightly contributed to the gain but mainly it's because i have been in my own little dream world and comforting eating for the whole country. I have another HbA1c tomorrow and i am dreading getting the results as i am pretty certain that it will be higher than the last one. I already have been diagnosed with arthritis in my spine and have a compressed disc. My weight is not helping with that and i am in almost constant pain (the pain varies but it is always there). I not only need to do this for myself but also for my son (he will be 2 in March) and my disabled husband who has Becker Muscular Dystrophy, a condition which has recently started to really be getting a grip on him to the extent that i am now classed as his carer. I am so frightened that if i don't lose the weight i need to then they will both end up struggling because i will no longer be here for them. I have 55.6 kg (122lbs) to lose. I have set myself target percentages of my starting weight, so hopefully the task will not seem so daunting. I am not my heaviest weight, but i am at my fattest (i know that doesn't sound right but it is). I have previously lost weight doing Slimming World, however later attempts have not proved to be successful. I know i cannot carry on the way i have been. I need to start this new way of eating TODAY. If i put it off again then i will just get even fatter, and fatter, and fatter until i burst! :( [/QUOTE]
