So I am mostly comfortable and I should be ashamed to complain about
such a minor thing but I AM HUNGRY! I WANT SOME JUNK FOOD!!
WAAAHHHHHHH! sniff sniff......stupid colon..

Ok, I am done.

lol! But I understand. I can't afford a lot of the junk food
anymore, and it's driving me crazy. I don't care if I have hamburger
in my fridge; I want McDonald's! WAAAAAHHHHH!

OK, I commiserated; did that help? ;-)

Purrs,

As a matter of fact, it did. Thank you.

I'm glad too, but it must have been terribly miserable as a child not to be
able to have the goodies everybody else was having.

I think the restrictions are still fairly severe for type IIs, but us
type Is can eat pretty much anything (unless we have the kidney
complication I have, which means I have to restrict protein intake) in
moderation these days. We can just compensate by taking a larger dose of
insulin if we want to eat something with a lot of carbs.

It's sucky for a kid to have to limit what they eat.

One thing I specifically remember from my childhood was that here in
Finland, the only sugar-free ice cream was vanilla flavoured and came in
these tiny little cups. We used to add some berries or let it melt a
little and then mix some cocoa powder in them.

When we moved to the US, we found they had big tubs of sugar-free
chocolate and strawberry ice cream in the shops. Not a huge variety as
ice cream flavours go, but a massive improvement on what we were used to.

It's not necessarily stricter, but we do have to really watch those carbs
and fats.

I think my SIL has actually managed better since the doctors finally
figured out that he has adult onset type I rather than type II.

In part because of the dietary restrictions for type II. It usually
is suitable for someone who is overweight. And he was nearly starving
to death on the diet the doctor put him on. He was too thin to start
with and didn't have the twenty pounds to spare.

Roger that Andy. It is so hard to behave. Purrs and healing thoughts
going in your direction from us here. Take care and the other members
of the group have some great suggestions.

I am so bad. I used to go out and buy (and eat) two gyros with
everything on them. These were guaranteed to upset my stomache but
would that ever stop me at one? Noooo! After dieting for two years I
am teaching myself moderation and the truth is eating one of something I
love feels the same a half hour later as eating two or three (minus the
upset tummy) would have. I still struggle with the "mass consumption"
urge but I am getting better.



I LOVE gyros, but without the sour cream sauce. MLB
