Thinking about reverting to old habits

Postby Mr. Wayne » Wed Jan 02, 2013 5:52 am

Hello. I'm a 32-year old male. When I was in high school roughly 16 years ago, I would binge and purge. I did that for about a year, and I stopped doing it during my Senior year of high school because I was just sick of throwing up. Over the years, I have gained and lost weight. Most recently, I lost 70 lbs due in part to being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I have been watching what I eat and exercising. Recently, I went to see my Dr., and I had gained 1 lb since the previous visit. I am now obsessed with losing this 1 lb. I have thought about cutting what I eat in half, even though I am on a diet plan that calls for a specific amount of carbs and protein per meal. I know that not eating as much as I am supposed to is dangerous. I also have low blood sugar quite often, and that's with eating what I'm supposed to. Still, i am obsessed with losing this 1 lb, and it really bothers me. I don't want to do anything stupid, but I almost feel compelled to deprive myself of what I need to survive in order to lose more weight. Any suggestions to get this out of my head?

I would be very careful about taking advice at this board if you are type I diabetic. This needs specialist treatment by a nutritionist.
