Ack. Failing at this - MAJOR sugar/starch binges, not tracking, all the worst signs. Now, when I've reached this point in the past I've given up; said "Oh, screw it" and gone back to my old chocoholic ways. I've lost that option this time, due to the diabetes diagnosis, so I'm going to have to do SOMETHING differently. I'll review my motivation sheet to start, and on Tuesday I leave for Newfoundland for a week - a fantastic place to walk, so I'm told. Any and all thoughts or ideas would be gratefully received, I'm losing ground (and not particularly caring). Damn.

You've come a long way! Don't give up now. You are worth the effort!

Pick a plan and stick to it religiously! What works for me is low carb, because it kills cravings and hunger. Dietdoctor.com or Atkins induction phase are good examples.
After a few days you just lose the cravings. The walking helps too. Don't give up on yourself; you can do it!

Thanks both of you :-) Just writing the journal entry this morning seems to have renewed at least a bit of commitment - it's been weeks since I came in under my daily calories, but today I did - celebrate the small victories! Tomorrow I'll stick to mostly veg during the day because my son chose my lasagna for his birthday dinner (oh, of course he did). In Newfoundland I'll make sure we stop at a grocery store and get healthy snacks for the hotel room and to take on my treks. Okay. Maybe I got this. Thanks, Mskestrela & Erikahollister, much appreciated :-)

Sounds like you have a plan! That is an excellent start to a successful trip.

Vacations are a hard time to recommit to a diet, because you just have less control of your food and because -- well, you're on vacation! Enjoy your treks and be healthy, then when you get back, you can double down!

Samiam, you can do this. You've come so far. I changed the "when I eat" with IF first before ever looking at the "what I eat". I've lost 60 lbs. Carbs are my biggest challenge and I have difficulty avoiding them so I don't focus on that so much. I manually set my RDI to about 500 cals below my recommended RDI. Then, twice a week, I limit to 600 cals. In the beginning I'd be hungry on those days especially at night. More water and early to bed was my tactic. I'd wake up less hungry than the night before and with fewer cravings. The day after a fast day, I would sometimes exceed my target but never to a degree to wipe out the deficit I created with the two fast days. My monthly average for daily food intake has gone from around 3000/day to around 1500/day. I really blow it sometimes but I just restart the next day. It's completely forgiving. I have zero diet stress. That alone is worth it for me.
