I'm 42, and newly diagnosed T2.
For most of my life I've been the jolly eater - the girl who out eats the guys in Pizza Hut, who finishes the cake in the staff room to "help" others. The one who knows the best cakes in Costa, the nicest places to eat, the pubs with the best menus. It's who I am - I eat, I drink, I'm the funny, fat one.
But now I can't be.
Who am I supposed to be now? I feel like I've lost my identity. I have to bring my blood sugars under control, I have to lose weight. Problem is, I don't know what will be left when the food and fat have gone. What will I do?
I feel lost.
