Hi new here my name is Leigh I am 35 have 2 kids overweight and losin my mind! I am a diabetic type 2 controlled no meds right now yeah! I dont know how though. I am a major carb addict, if it is a starch then i will most definately eat it. I am allergic to most fruits ( swell, itch and hives ) , and the green veggies yuck I cant eat them i try and i try hard but i throw up I have tried talking while i eat not looking at them everything i just cant do it. Peas I am allergic to also. I am 5'3 i weigh 270 I am a nurse and I cant do it I dont know how , I dont know where to start. My family is NO help. My mom is degrading she likes to tell me I am fat and I should be ashamed ( like she needs to tell me that), my hubby is a jerk he says he likes me the way I am but he will support me in what ever weightloss I want to do then goes and gets me icecream or donuts or chips! My kids say they dont care they love me anyway them I believe but I wonder if they are embarassed to be seen with me around there friends? Its not like I cant do the things other parents can I go to the ball park barely breathing when I finally make it to the field, I try to hide for a few minutes to catch my breath before anyone sees me. I need help. Why is there not any of these research weight loss things around where I am? Anyone with any ideas for me they will be greatly appreciated ! Thanks for listening! Leigh

I'm also new to this group but I do feel your pain. I had lost 67lbs and put it right back on. But I am back on track doing all what I need to do to once again lose the weight. I also am a type 2 diabetic but I have to take many pills everyday. Leigh, please just take things day by day. You need to do this first for you and your children.

I'm sure you know weight loss is strugle and I heard someone here say to another woman that you didn't put the weight on overnight and it's not going to come off overnight either. Again take it day by day. Start going out for walks with the kids, doing different kinds of things that you usually don't do. And maybe,as you start to do these things you and your body might start feeling better.

As for your husband telling you that he supports you then goes and buys you goodies tell him your really serious about you wanting to lose this weight and you don't want goodie to be brought back home for you anymore. Hopefully he will know that your serious and then he will know that you really mean business.

And I'm sure you know that one of the things that your really need to count being a diabetic are those carbs.
