shitty results

Last week i did a post on me losing weight and i said I would be keeping you all posted.. Well the week went by great i ate well, drank my water and kept active.. I felt good about myself, I had a few small things I probably should'nt have but thats ok because its still a big improvement from what i use to eat... I am taking it one day at a time and trying to stay modivated,

Now here comes the shitty part!

I had a doctors appointment today and of course its bad news... #1 i gained 6 pounds, which i have no idea how because i really have been eating well and exercising. #2 I have type 2 diabetes!!!!!

I knew something was wrong but i didnt think it was going to be that, So of course i start to cry... I couldn't help it, I was upset for many reasons...

So the doc basically said that the weight needs to come off and if it does'nt then im going to be in trouble later on... He gave me some pills that are soppose to help my sugars stay low and also help me loose weight as well..

Wonderfull, another medication that i cant afford...

So now im feelin pretty shitty, All I can think about is diabetes... I dont know what i can eat and what i cant or when or how much or anything like that and every single thing i put in my mouth I worry about.. Its just scary thats all I never thought it would come down to this.... The good thing is that if I do loose the weight then the diabetes will go along with everything else thats negative in my life...

I dont have to take insulin I just have to take these pills untill I get myself under control i guess.

Well thats my shitty news for today.. As for my weight gain, IT SUCKS but some people have been telling me that its normal to go up and down with weightloss.. Who knows it makes no sense to me...

Happy Monday all!

Sorry to hear about your diabetes. That sucks. Didn't they give you nutrition advice so you understand what you can and can't eat? Its just basically cutting back on carbs and sugars to see if your pancrease can get better. It's tired and needs to rest.

Good luck. I love learning about nutrition, etc. It's my passion. Let me know if you have any questions. I could talk about food forever.

You are not alone Hollz. I went threw that diabetes thing too when I was pregnant. The Dr. should have referred you to a dietician to set you up on a diet.
Do you have any way to check your blood sugars??
The great thing about type 2 diabetes is that it is easily controlled with weightloss.
Now the weightloss issue, well...I am not your best person to come to for advice. I have been struggling with that for years.

Keep your carbs low! It really isn't the sugar it is the carbs that get you.
Don't go out and by expensive sugar free foods, the class I had about diabetes informed us that it was just a way to get your money. You just need to eat smart.

It's the eating smart that kills me. I also have type 2 diabetes. I don't mind poking my finger any more - that's not as bad as it first seemed - but sometimes I still jump a little. The meds can be a bit tricky. Please make sure you have some fruit or juice handy at all times. I have troubles with my sugar dropping too low after taking the pill. That can be a complete bitch and dangerous. Food - well - you do have to watch your sugar, and your carbs. Carbs turn to sugar. Even sweet and low can make your sugar go up. But you can't eliminate ALL carbs because you need them. Basically, you are supposed to cancel out white bread, potatoes, pasta, and the obvious sweet treats. You can eat pretty much all the vegies you want though, and meat. It has been really really hard for me to find a balance, and my weight goes up and down. Right now I suck....
Email me anytime if you wanna talk!

I am sorry to hear that girl *hugs* but, it's not the end of the world...I know that you will loose the weight. It will take time, and it's FUCKING HARD! I can't believe that your Dr. didn't refer you to a nutritionist.
Anyway...everyone who has commented here all gave you the best advice. Cut the carbs down, eat more veggies and lean protein. Do you have an accu-check machine to check your blood-glucose level?
I am here for you....

Oh girl....first of all, dont worry about the 6 lbs! Their scales might be different than the one you use at home. Those things are never accurate. Or it might have been the tme of day you went to the docs...it could have been a million things!! My point is...don't stress about it too much. I KNOW how you feel....I have BEEN there. It's frustrating!! I am so sorry to hear about the diabetes. You will do ok with that....just do some research and find out what foods you can eat or not eat, etc. Hang in there ok? Don't beat yourself up too much about it....and please feel free to contact me if you need to talk. I mean that!!! {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}

Do whatever needs to be done. You're going to be just fine. You know, take it one day at a time~~god, I know that sound so AA, but there's truth in some cliches.

Diabetes, you can live with. It's frustrating. and another thing to manage. You'll do it. Don't get yourself crazy.

Take care, no matter what.

((hugs)), from ME too!
