I've been thinking about a post like this for a long time now. I've mentioned before that I am diabetic and that I also suffer from an eating disorder (which I'm "technically" in recovery from). Well, I am having a difficult time as I recently gained weight due to my diabetes as well as a thyroid issue. My usual go-to would be to not eat and restrict, exercise, and even throw up (purge) in order to lose weight. I don't have a lot to lose, but I am one who will most definitely go overboard. This time, I don't want to go that route. Not only is it the antithesis of being healthy, but, being a brittle diabetic, it could be very dangerous. So, I need some accountability in order to be the healthiest me. And, what better a place to go than here?! I'd like to post what I eat daily so that I can have support and help from people who I respect and who I know respect me. I can't guarantee I'd post all my meals, but I want to make a conscious effort. And, I need your help. Call me out on things, ask me questions, and I'll gladly do the same for you. With kindness and mutuality, of course! If you'd like to join in, go for it. The more the merrier!
Those of us on FB can check in there as well, but I'd like this to be a supportive blog of sorts. It's not a dieting thread though that can be a part. However, this is more about getting and staying healthy. Post meal ideas, recipes, and tips. But, please, no passing judgement on others who may eat or exercise differently than you do. I want this to be a positive place. So, who's with me?!
(And mods, I'd like to keep this here on this forum if possible as it is easily accessible by all. But, if it needs to be moved or deleted, please let me know. My apologies if this is inappropriate in any way.)
