[QUOTE="Christy, post: 171677, member: 225"] Thanks for the good advice Marg! You are preaching to the choir! I learned by eating to my glucose meter and having my chloesterol tested that what they say is good for you is not always the case. When I ate very low carb, I learned that fats, even the saturated ones, did not raise my cholesterol and foods like oatmeal and brown rice that were suggested fare in my diabetes education classes would spike my blood sugar just like any other carb. I learned to eat carbs with proteinand fat rather than alone to keep my blood sugar more stable. The trouble now is that I know all these things but can't gather the motivation to get back to it. I've got to be tough and quit the carbs. I can't handle moderating them. When I was complaining to my husband about the weight I've gained, he said to me, you buy the groceries, if you don't want to eat it, don't buy it. Makes sense, but I do want to eat those foods. If I don't buy them on grocery day, I will find myself using difficult child as an excuse to stop for fastfood, ice cream, let's bake cookies, etc... And on the other side, once I kick the carbs so to speak, I am not tempted. I can have anything in the house and I won't eat it. So over the past few days, I have cut out a lot of mindless eating, I have made better food choices, but I still haven't gotten mysef psyched up to do this. I'm wearing my workout shoes but haven't yet taken the walk I promised myself. Still. I'm wanting to get there and for a long time I just ignored my eating and the effect it was having on me. So it's a step in the right direction. Thanks again, Christy [/QUOTE]
