Most of my life I have been slim and fairly sporty, but always with a real sweet tooth. In recent years I have gained some weight, and although it hasn’t bothered me to much, tonight it did. I ordered a pair of pants online from a brand that I know the sizing quite well on. They were tight around the waist and gave me a real large muffin-top! Not a desirable look. I know i have eaten recently to much chocolate and sugary treats but I also need to change my life and the way I eat. I have been diagnosed being pre-diabetic so really need to get this all under control before I end up with type 2, like some of my extended family. I also have an immune issue which maybe helped by this as well, as sugar normally makes it worse.
I am currently reading the Blood Sugar Diet on my kindle, while I wait for the books to arrive, but in the meantime I am going to try and cut back on the chocolate (funding raising for blue September), and try to reintroduce more veggies back into my meals. I know that there are day that this may be a struggle with work functions and my weekend workshop for professional development . I should actual be studying now! But it will be a start… I hope in the come weeks I will progress on to the full diet.
Oh I am based in Auckland, NZ and am due to walk 10km at the end of the month.
I will need this forum to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
