I am one of the readers who DOES know about sugar and has ignored it and done it anyway; who lacks discipline. I'm very reluctant to go to the forum for help, I tend to like to isolate and do things myself. I feel awful and dejected. I am always, always hungry (even if I eat high protein, low carb, albeit less hungry with that) and I have a raging sweet tooth. I feel there's probably no hope for me. I'm getting fatter and fatter having succeeded and failed for years and years. Eating over the traumas in my life. I'm turning 53 on January 28th and with the diabetes I have and the very fat belly (I think I have had diabetes a LOT longer than when it was diagnosed as have many people), I feel I am doomed. I don't think I can do it. I also don't like Splenda (only Stevia) and I worry about getting phytonutrients (I drink green smoothies, but with higher sugar fruits in them, along with the berries...but lots of different greens), and that is NOT low carb. I am very full of systemic inflammation for years now (high CRP), which will kill me in the long run. I am someone who does better if I know what to eat and when...that's it...just tell me what to eat and when to eat it, I do better with that kind of structure. This is my first posting, I appreciate any feedback. I'm not adept at technology, so please tell me how to read your replies to me when you post...please let me know at mozart8181@comcast.net
