Support For Atypical Users

kittythelate

Who else out there has joined this app for something other than simple weight loss, maintanence, or gain?

Personally, have chronic stomach issues that make eating difficult, and that have lead to me losing weight at a worrying pace. I got this app as part of my treatment, so I could better understand what my body needs and what my current diet is and is not providing for me.

Who else out there is using this app to deal with an usual diet? Who else out there is an atypical user? Show of hands, let's all give each other a bit of solidarity and support!

Well, I am trying to control my weight, and reduce it. However, the reason I joined MFP was to monitor the carbs in my diet as I am a type 2 Diabetic and wanted better measurements of the total carbs per meal I was consuming.

I get discouraged when I count calories and my main issue is not exercising enough, so I only log my exercise. Sometimes I log my food to check on my potassium intake because I rarely make the recommended amount unless I really focus on it. At first I felt like I was cheating myself by not doing it all, but then I realized that I'm giving myself what I need. MFP is just a tool we use on our journey. I also have gut issues and have to watch my blood sugar, so we all should be friends! It would be nice to have like minded friends on here.
