Oh man, six months isn't long, is it? I remember my diagnosis as being the day I said I was going to get completely healthy because I didn't want to die young or go on medication and by October I was going be 50 pounds lighter! Well, it's mid-October now and . . . ppplllll!!! I got all addicted to being a good diabetic, eating super-healthy (20 carbs a day), working out, avoiding ANYTHING at all that was bad for me. My first A1C post-diagnosis was stupendous. Then my life just fell apart and now I can't stop the stress-eating.
My man-made carbs are not what they used to be. I did get them under some control since the last time I posted - down to maybe 40 a day and unfortunately all at one time - lunch - but I really feel like I'm going through a grieving process here: I seriously MISS MY FOOD. I WANT my sandwiches! I WANT my Reese Cups! I WANT my mashed potatoes! I WANT my English Muffins! I WANT my Swirl cones! I convinced myself I'd never want those things ever again but I was totally wrong. I really feel like a two-year-old right now, mad because her mom won't buy her a candy bar.
I know everyone can relate to this "grieving process" so I can just use some cheering up and some tips on how you handle it. I remember someone here saying 'if you're good 90% of the time, you can be bad 10% of the time'. I'm kinda takin' that to heart
