Re: Denial (WAS: , SAD seasonal affective disorder)

[Guest guest]

--- , I was in denial that I even had diabetes even though I

knew I did. I would not check my numbers thus by not doing so it

didn't exist. Yet I certainly knew it from the doctors reports and

by the way I felt. So, yes I believe one can be in denial and still

know what is truth. Not sure this makes sense to anyone but me!!!

Positive thinking to me is looking at the bright side of everything

but also doing all the right stuff to make a bright side! If anyone

understands what I am saying you win!! Don't know how else to

explain it!

And in my case, I have never over-eaten. I know now that because of

heriderity that my body cannot utilize carbs the way other people do. If

you saw what I ate in one day on or off Atkins, you would be shocked!

Also, if you are not sick and alot of overweight people are not sick and

do not become sick, I say eat all you want. It's up to you. I know a

couple of people that weight over 300. They can out work me, out run me,

out swim me and they are not sick at all.

you are by far the most miserable ignorant person I have ever come

across. You must be related to Scrooge and I bet Santa didn't visit you.

Hmmm....

I think we have come to the end of this thread. I agree that 's

initial comment were harsh, but he did apologize all on his own before

anyone had a chance to confront him. For the peace of the group, let's

move on and get back to more profitable matters. We have had some really

good threads going over the last couple of days.

ð I have ordered it because the 2 mail order

ð pharmaceutical companies that I use have both quit

ð handling the comfort curve strips for my Advantage

ð Accu-Chek. 

Interesting as Liberty states in their on tv ad's that they carry all major

supplies.

I use the comfort curve strips too, I was about to change and go to Liberty
