Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hello jorjanao@..., In reference to your comment: ð In case no one remembers me (and you probably ð shouldn't) I remember you You just start doing it again.... basically what you just did was tell on your diabetes... and your subsequent depression etc....

This is what i eat for a week or so.... now i'm feeding 3 people, so my quantity is this much, btw they may choose to have bread or nuked potatoes, pasta etc or whatever, but i don't...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hello whimsy2@..., In reference to your comment: ð When your BGs go down your depression may get ð better also This is why i didn't suggest antidepressants right away.... i'd try to wrestle the gorilla first, if you can't get your hands on it, then go ask for meds.... btw i'd try paxil or prozac, i had bad side effects on celexa.... but ymmv.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hi Jorganna, I certainly recall you. Think of it as if you were climbing a mountain. If you contemplate the whole rigorous trip, it can be too intimidating. Just put one foot in front of the other. Focus on getting through the next 24 hours ... or the next 12 hours. After awhile, your new routines will become a natural part of your life ... no longer a " diet " . Don't beat yourself up. We all fall off the wagon at times, for various reasons. When we are too hard on ourselves, it just makes it that much more difficult to refocus on our program, which we need to follow for the rest of our lives. There's no time like tomorrow to get your program going again ... or even today! ) Our diabetic bodies won't let us get away with cheating. It shows up on the glucose meter, the HbA1c, the scales, and the way we feel. In a way, that can help us. It keeps us honest. You have been under a lot of stress and have had a lot of distractions. I always do better when I'm at home and can get a normal rhythm going. Good to hear from you again! The fact that you posted means you are already committing ... a good sign.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Go to a medical library and look at some pictures of people who haven't managed their diabetes responsibly. Look at the blindness, the ulcerated sores, the amputated limbs, etc. If that doesn't give you incentive, I don't know what will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Then get the high carb junkout of the house, and start eating right.... I agree with , Jorjana. Get all the bad stuff out, but buy a lot of the good stuff, and things you really like that are low carb :-) I buy shrimp, mushrooms, chicken breasts, peppers, asparagus, salad fixings, strawberries, whipping cream -- with Splenda, and a little red wine. Make a list of all the foods you love that are low carb, and I bet your list will be a lot longer than you think :-) Hang in there.... you'll feel better mentally when your blood sugar drops.

Your words painted a visual for me that was superb! Jorjana, we really are just one big community of wagon riders. We all need the encouragement of one another. I'm glad you yelled " Help! " and I'm grateful for the many responses you got. I'm not much of one to suggest meal ideas, heck, I'd eat a plank if my wife set it in front of me! BUT I can echo what's a;ready been said... One step at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday's failure is tomorrow's opportunity for success. Don't give in to thoughts of failure and hopelessness. When the day is done and you lay down to sleep, give your good thoughts " equal time " . Don't give in to criticizing yourself for the day's mistakes, unless you are willing to pat your self on the back for the good things you accomplished. When you wake up the next day, greet it with a resolve to do what you can do, and then do it, one step, one task at a time. Rick P.S. Now listen, EVERYBODY BETTER SHARE THEIR SEATS, OR I'M GONNA PULL THIS WAGON OVER AND... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
