Dealing with Diabetes2 and remembering Goldi Community Group
A support group for individuals with Type2 diabetes. Encouragement, empathy, advice, and personal experiences from members dealing with the illness. A friendly environment with compassion and support as our main objective.
A sad story I had not heard of the Fat Pride campaign maybe for some people if there is nothing to be done and if dieting doe's not work its best just to accept the situation
What else is there to do and if you are not diabetic and overweight its no good worrying about something you can' t change.
although if you are life threateningly overweight then surly you need to consider a gastric band. But there may come a time just to accept things as they are, as these people seem to have done

Lionel Shriver: My brother is eating himself to death
Lionel Shriver feared her older brother's weight problem would kill him. Days after she wrote this, he died

No I get sick of people assuming that because I am large that I eat like a pig. And yes we live next door to a place that has them so I have first-hand experience of how they eat - LOL - talk about gross.... Sorry got off the topic there...........
I have been checked and rechecked - no to thyroid (so they say).
No I am not on insulin and my dr is not putting me on it for that very reason even though my levels say I should be as I am not able to take the oral meds that work for me because of side effects.
Bitter? Maybe.
Frustrated? YES
I think that the wieght is one battle I might just need to give up and concentrate on things that I have a chance of improving like my sugar levels and my BP.
One chip? Amazing.... I have never done that in my life. One cookie? Yes sometimes - certainly can stop at a few of them - but not the chips............... Best for me to buy a small bag - or have several people to help out......... like my DH and the dogs.
I was never like that, I was always thin but I always was very active physically. I think other then getting older that is the biggest change in my life. Well we wil see once I have the surgery again..
I could not eat one chip ever. My daughter always ate them and I was always going after some cause I knew they were here. Somethingmake you want them..all of them....
