[QUOTE="ellecook79, post: 348183, member: 41461"] I think the OP was saying that they were 16 and not a size 16! This can be a very difficut and hormonal age and your weight can go up and down even without the added complications of diabetes! It seems obvious but if you eat healthily and exercise you will maintain a helathy weight. Like it or not you are diabetic now for the rest of you life and thew sooner you work out how to live with it and what works for you the better. I am quite a slim size 8 but I follow the weightwatchers plan all the time. I can't remember the last time I had a takeaway or a macdonalds! I low carb (about 100g a day) as this helps with my sugar levels and importantly to me, keeps my weight at a level at which I am comfortable. In short - I have to work at it to stay this slim! The more carbs I eat, the more insulin I inject and the heavier I get. But I don't blame the insulin for this - it is the extra food that I am putting in! My advice would be to try somethinh like weightwatchers - it will help you lose those few pounds that have gone on before your holiday. It is also a great way to learn good portion control! It has always worked for me. Elle x [/QUOTE]
