New here, overweight diabetic

[Guest guest]

I'm new to this group. Found out about it today when looking into IE; I just

ordered IE and a couple related mindfullness titles.

I was 100 pounds overweight when diagnosed w/diabetes last year. I lost 50

pounds w/certain fear-induced changes but have now come up against my emotional

eating " stuff " & would like to find a new relationship w/food.

I found with much experimentation how to control my blood sugar w/diet alone,

but I have also in the process discovered how to overeat without raising my

blood sugar too much. My insulin resistance improved dramatically after losing

the first 30 pounds, and I don't want to go back there. But my new knowledge

about eating " safely " for my diabetes puts the power back in my hands to... I

don't know. Continue to eat to avoid feeling? I guess that's it.

Looking forward to learning more here,

Donna
