[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 554373, member: 88961"] JayCee - the too thin thing is a tricky one. Our loved ones can sometimes struggle watching us go through some of the difficult changes we need to make, and worry we might become obsessed. (Obsessed, moi? OK. I give in. Just a bit. ;)) When we went through a little of this at home, I struck a deal that we could talk about it again when I was actually becoming too thin, and not what might happen. Portion control is critical. Is your wife following your eating plan too? Is she modifying her diet, and maybe portion sizes? As a matter of interest, we have had the discussion again, because I have got quite thin, but that conversation was around how we could take positive steps,to stem weight loss and remain on track. It was an altogether healthier discussion. If we have gained weight, as most of us have, in the period pre-diagnosis, and also tripped over the diabetes trip wire, something's have to change. Reverting to pre-diagnosis diet and lifestyle is, unfortunately not the answer. But you know that. It's excellent your wife is supportive, and also that she voices her concerns. I'm sure you'll both get there. Diabetes isn't a solo sport. [/QUOTE]
