Re: Questions / Advice

[(Anonymous)]

When I typed this yesterday, I was just going on some general feeling, a bp test and trends I'd noticed in my irregularly checked blood sugar, but today I got the actual A1C for this six months back, and I've jumped from a two-test steady 6.5 to a 7.8, and I'm trying to breathe through it, but it's so disheartening.

I was expecting a little rise but not that much, and even though I know I shouldn't be, I'm just mortified and embarrassed to go back to my doctor having put on at least two pounds when he wanted me to lose 10, and even the knowledge that I'd lost about 8 before things started going crazy doesn't help. And I feel like I'm going to get more medicine than my 5 mg of lisinopril and 500 mg of metformin, and dude's going to be all "You know, lap band surgery!" even though I categorically do not want surgery for weight loss, and it's just ugh.

Because it's like, sure *~I was stressed!~* may play a part in the increase but it's not an excuse for diet and exercise choices, which haven't been great, and it feels irresponsible not to own that, which is just asking for a lecture that won't make me feel any better.

And I just want things to be better.

Anyway, I'm just venting I guess. Thanks for listening.

Hey, don't feel bad about that. Losing weight is hard even for people in relatively good mental health, and it gets even harder when you don't have support and can't find motivation.

Try to take advantage of the medical resources available to you. See a dietician for instance, or see a physiotherapist to find out what kind of exercises you can do if you have limited mobility due to diabetes. If you just look at the big picture this sort of thing can be paralyzing.

Your next assignment shouldn't be "lose 10lbs" it should really be "find out what small steps you should be taking right now to facilitate that long term goal".
