I'm sure you want to be helpful here, but please think about your audience when you speak. As a type 1 diabetic diagnosed at age 8, I did not enjoy reading your comment. It implies that you associate diabetes with laziness and apathy. That couldn't be further from my reality. I invest hours of energy each week (not to…

Thanks everyone!

I'm sorry for your son!! I was diagnosed when I was 8. I remember how sad it was for my mother and I empathize with your grief. I want you to know that I'm 26 now and I am very healthy. Your son will learn to care for himself properly, I promise. Also, please know that the older I got, the easier it was for me to feel my…

Thanks for starting this!! For me, exercise is so tricky. At certain times of day, any vigorous exercise will result in low blood sugar almost immediately. It's so frustrating! For me, I notice that in the mornings, my blood sugar spikes higher than it does at night. So if I take my insulin 20 mins before breakfast, eat…

I am proud of you for doing the whole 30! I haven't done it yet, but I did spend 30 days on a diet very close to the whole 30. I was essentially 95% paleo. I feel like you probably started this for a reason so I hope you can finish it!! Maybe you feel badly because you're not eating enough! The whole 30 does not restrict…

I just want to say I think it's awesome you stuck it out with cross fit for a month! I've never done it, but I know it's hard. You should be really proud of yourself. I know when I start a new exercise plan, I feel hungrier. It's bad because it makes me overeat! I think you have the right idea! Do cross fit AND log…

It sounds like you are doing everything right!!! I am really proud of you for sticking with paleo. It is NOT easy. I did it once for about 8 weeks and it was so challenging! I'm not sure why you haven't lost more recently. My advice would be to cut down to 1450 calories a day OR to keep your calories the same and try to…

I am so proud of you!!! Your past is what brought you to where you are, so in a way it's so valuable! I think you're right that if he cares about your starting weight then it probably wasn't meant to be. Keep that in mind. But usually honesty works best! I wouldn't bring it up without something else prompting it, but if he…

I do the same thing! I get motivated for a couple weeks and then fall off the bandwagon. Can you find an eating strategy that you can commit to for 8 weeks? Like maybe you count calories 5 days a week, and take off 2 days. Any sustainable plan would work! Find something you can stick to for just 8 weeks and I promise…
