Dear everyone, and I put to everyone because I think everyone has felt like this!
I try not to be self centres about my diabetes: there are worse things to have right? But recently my weight has really been getting me down. Sounds like such a simple thing right? Just get some exercise and eat better I head you cry!
Juggling university, working 2-3 days a week, flat upkeep and looking after (not all the time i mean) a bipolar boyfriend (he’s not sick just now but his mood and motivation does fluctuate.) I feel like I have no every whatsoever, to take care of myself or my diabetes. And so I comfort eat, and to deal with that, my weight has soared. I feel awful. I have NO sex drive, so my bf continues to be patient, but for how long?!
And I just feel like diabetes complicates life so much- I can’t lose the weight I so desperately want to, that diabetes has made me put on so fast. If I try and eat less, I go hypo. AHHH!
Anyone else just feel drained and like giving up?!
Yep! I feel the same way…Same type of situation…Its hard trying to get the insulin and exercising balanced and lose weight. I find that when I eat less i get better results for losing weight but its not good for my metabolism so I dont know. Its yet another mind game brought to you by diabetes. I am not going to give up however, I have to figure out how to lose weight.
You are not alone! I’ve been fighting off the weight I put on since I started almost a year ago. My house is always a mess, I work 10 hours a day, my hubby lost his job recently and I’M the bipolar in the house. I also find I have ZERO libido and I don’t know if the meds are to blame or if it’s just me. But just keep holding on, things will get easier and you will feel better. I recently started a juice fast. It sounds counterproductive to the diabetes but I found it actually lowered my bg quite a bit. I’m juicing veggies and fruits and with your busy schedule it might be something that could help lighten the load. Just a thought, either way hang in there!
