Purchase a generic blood sugar meter at Walmart or at Kroger store. They are reliable and cheap. The strips are cheap too. Start taking your BG 2 hours AFTER your biggest meal of the day. If you BG is higher than 180 (new ADA guidlines) then you need to look at what you ate and adjust it to reduce carbs and fat. Hi fat…

It sounds like maybe you are having issues with anxiety? And obviously binging.... I think you should still track your food. It's not going to be pretty, but the truth will eventually set you free? Talk to your doctor or a therapist about the anxiety and binging. If you are not already on medication, you may need it. Don't…

I love your candid honesty. I'm right there with you, one day at a time, one moment at a time.... My normal M.O. is to shut everyone out and not engage. To engage is to have expectations from others. Expectations are like a noose around my neck! BUT!!! My old way of running my life and my food and my weight, has NOT…

You don't know how hard this is for me to type. I hide my issues with weight.... Yet I weigh 296 pounds. I hate the way I physically feel and I know isolating is one of the reasons I am not being successful with weight loss. Lost 30+ pounds and was feeling really good physically and mentally. Got off the wagon and gained…

Slow down, slow down, slow down! Time to STOP letting him call the shots when it comes to your heart, emotions and esteem! Why is he stringing you along? Because he doesn't know what he wants. He thinks the grass in greener on the other side! He wants a nice girl in the wings, after he goes and samples some of the things…
