[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 678409, member: 19245"] Did you know that stress makes you get belly fat from cortisol and makes your body not use its insulin as effectively. It raises your blood sugar and gives you lovely 'muffin tops' as well! Lack of sleep also messes with your blood sugar. When we are tired or depressed, we do not want to exercise; such as walking. This lack of activity also makes your sugar level rise. Then when you are depressed, you crave sweets for a quick 'rush'. Your blood sugar goes up. You can have depression in the form of the sugar 'blues' when you crash later. Even black coffee, with no sugar or milk, causes your blood level to spike after meals throughout the day. I am pre-diabetic and too afraid to go be checked. I swore off of coffee and sodas, specifically diet rootbeer, as my New Years Resolution. I swore off of desserts 4 years ago, before I was pre-diabetic. It is killing me, but I am doing it. Actually, it Is hopefully helping me. I stopped drinking diet coke in 2001. I promised my mom before she passed away. Sodas take the calcium out of your bones. She was bed-bound for 7 years with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. She was in constant pain. Like my dad used to say, "If I like it, I can't have it!" During one of the several times that he had to be rushed to the hospital, I met the paramedics at the door. He was mad because they had not taken him to the hospital that had good pies! Really! [/QUOTE]
