[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1428978, member: 88961"] Steph - There are many people, including T2s, who have difficult relationships with food, including binge eating and disordered eating. Personally, I didn't have a lot of weight to lose when diagnosed, but as I managed my bloods my spare poundage dropped off, and I'm now very slight. I never set out to lose weight, but managing my bloods, it just sort of happened. Almost everyone has a period of missing carbs when they reduce them, but one thing many agree on is if you can see through that brief period of almost withdrawal the taste buds so often change and the sweet stuff doesn't have the same lure. Additionally, there are many, many low-carb recipes for cake, biscuits, chocolate truffles and so on, meaning it is possible to be able to still actually eat sweet tasting things, but without the sugar. Do you live in a family situation, or on your own? Either way that can make things easier and/or tickier. Personally, I had an ED back in my late 20s (many moons ago now), so I do understand how these things can really get a hold on us. [/QUOTE]
