[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2228526, member: 365308"] Hi I just wanted to say 'been there are done that' though I was a bulimic so I understand your compulsion to eat carbs is perhaps overriding your rational desire to be healthier. I think having too much insulin and slightly too much glucose (as with all type 1s) isn't sustainable in the long term and is consuming far too much of your head space! I'd like to suggest Elizabeth Benton's podcast as a great resource. She was an obese lady who was frustrated at why she could be successful in other areas of her life e.g. getting out of debt and building up her career but could not do so with weight loss. [URL]https://primalpotential.com/primal-potential-podcast/[/URL] If you like her style then she does an e course about emotional eating which I did and still find useful a few years on. The focus is not on weight loss but more about mindset. I also found this bariatric surgeon quite interesting because he treats patients' carb addictions before he looks at surgery: [MEDIA=youtube]QhutHtKV26g[/MEDIA] YOu sound as if you are open to finding a new way but don't get stuck in the research here and do decide on some action even if it is just picking one thing you will consistently do well for today then building from there.
