Welcome, Dorrie!
Have you known about your diabetes for long? I have hypoglycemia and
ballooned to
twice my weight because I was always hungry and would get horrifically sick if I didn't eat. Add to that, I'm quite a picky eater, so I would eat what I wanted and use the LBS as an excuse...'til I was over 300 lbs and couldn't breathe!
I finally joined Weight Watchers in August of '05, and I can't even begin to tell you how it's changed my life!
90 1/2 lbs are gone--
forever!--and I'm learning how to keep my blood sugar on an even keel. I still have my difficult moments--every month!
--but I know how to manage my food intake now and what constitutes a "small meal," so I can eat several times a day and still lose--and I get to eat stuff I love!
Please PM me if you wanna know more. I'd love to help you.
