just going back to the basics should help you getting back on track. stop the eating and drinking together (something i'm working on as well), measure your portions, don't graze and overeat. protein first.

I admire your honesty about this. I know you are disappointed about being back on insulin, but you are now on your way to regaining control of your health. Thirty pounds is not a lot when you think of where you have come from. My advice would be to watch your carbs, count calories and determine how many you need to lose, do some sort of exercise, and eliminate all junk foods. Eat a diet high in lean protein, vegetables and foods you should be eating being diabetic. I have no doubt if you take this one day at a time and stay focused, you will get these pounds off in no time.

I agree with everything Daisy said. I have been in your shoes; not the insulin part, but the "gained 30 pounds" part. ...THREE TIMES!! I am here to tell you that if you get back to basics you CAN lose the weight again.

Good luck.

Marilyn, thank you for posting that. Thirty pounds seems to be the number, doesn't it? I too have regained 30. I've already lost about 5 of that though and am working on the rest. While it's disheartening I try to focus on the fact that I ONLY gained 30 (instead of the entire 155 I lost) and that I am doing something about it.

I'm moving closer to my gym so I intend to ramp up my workout schedule now that gas will not be an issue (four block walk!). I've also started food logging and trying to eat more mindfully. My tool still works just the same as it has been working. I just needed help listening.
