Someone said some things to me last night that were upsetting, I don't want to go into it really. I have just tried really hard to rise above it, put it out of my mind etc. But I didn't get to sleep until 2am then woke up at 6am and now I feel yuck. I have a chronic pain and fatigue condition, and stress makes it flare up, so I try really hard to avoid situations like this. And to use reason and logic and to speak up for myself... it fell on deaf ears this time.
In the past I would have taken some medication that I have on hand for anxiety (quetiapine) but while the stuff is great for anxiety it is pants for blood sugar. It causes intense carb cravings (for me) and I have been doing so well in the last 10 days restarting LCHF after a long break from it. I've already lost 2kg (4lb), and have been feeling much better than when I was eating lots of carbs.
I wasn't going to let another person's behaviour drive me towards carbs. So yay me for being strong, right?
I am going to have some berries, full fat greek yoghurt, ground flaxseeds, and thickened cream for breakfast, that always cheers me up, lol.
Thanks for your support, guys. In terms of managing my blood sugars I don't know what I would do without this site.
