Yep for me its my new way of eating that gives me control over my diabetes and has made me so much more healthy after years of yoyo dieting. Can I stick to it forever.. yes I honestly believe I can. What I eat is tasty and nutritious and doesn't really involve any counting. Now I am fat adapted I eat until I'm full probably once a day. Fasting has also helped enormously with both weight loss and blood sugar control. Now I have lost the urge to eat 3 meals and various snacks each day I finally feel in control of my relationship with food. It has taken the Tye 2 diagnosis to achieve this, I'm almost quite pleased it happened.
The point of my blog was to try and differentiate between dieting and wanting to live. Whenever I have let anyone know that I am now diabetic, one of the first questions I am asked is whether I am now on a diet, and if so, what have I had to give up.
I call my 'diet' as my eating regime. I has taken me a while to see myself as slim, I still looked in the mirror and saw a fat person but over the last few weeks it has now entered my brain. Went to Asda this morning and got a swimsuit for up-coming holidays in a size 10. I got a proper hula-hoop for Christmas and have now mastered it's use, haven't used one for over 50 years.
