I know several people who didn't pay attention to their condition, and they eventually required insulin. After that things reached the point where toes were amputated and other serious issues developed related to diabetes.

My 5'6" husband says he has to control his diabetes because he is already too short.

Catrin, I know what a struggle it is. We don't even watch "Cake Boss" anymore because it kicks off cravings. It's only been about four months, but he has dropped 30 pounds, goes to the gym & continues to eat properly. And really, the diabetic diet is quite healthy.

It sounds like your DH is doing great Dogmama! I remember when I started this journey 3 years ago. It seemed that all I had to do to drop one pound was to lift my arm once or twice - wish it was still that easy

Ice cream is still a weakness of mine, and I will eat it now but only in very small amounts (2-3 tablespoons up to no more than 1/2 cup - and only on days where I've exerted myself). I don't find my diet to be restrictive, but I am very used to it.

Nutrition epiphany of the year:

When I'm craving pizza, it's probably just the SALT my body wants.

D'oh. I KNOW how prone I am to a mild hyponatremia. I also know how allergic I am to yeast, milk, and wheat (among other things).

Next time my fingers start reaching for the phone I'm going to try dropping a Zenergize tablet or two (or a scoop of that Skratch Labs everyday hydration as soon as I can get my hands on some).

For some reason the things I normally like to eat for dinner just do not taste right loaded up with salt, not in the amounts I need in summertime, anyhow. Pizza, on the other hand, is a natural born electrolyte delivery vehicle.

Seen this? Surprisingly moving. I love the shaggy guy in the middle going "Wow."

Joyous indeed! Thanks for sharing that!

That's wonderful, thank you!

Pet peeve of the day: people who state something blindingly obvious or completely unconfrontational as though they were making a bold and provocative stand on a hot topic.

"Ok, so I'm bad, but I love chocolate".

Please. Just stop. Unless you're under 16.

Wonderful. Thank you

I've noticed what appears to be missing posts from last night across multiple threads. These were normal posts, not spam or questionable at all. I did sent a PM to the administrator.

Yup, I thought I was going crazy. I know I said something after Malkin's last post on the food allergy thread.

Jeff posted a sticky early this morning about the issue. There was a software upgrade that went awry.

I didn't see it, and still haven't. Probably just haven't looked in the right place...

What do you say in possibly your last conversation with someone to whom you never had anything to say? Saying what I feel won't bring me closure and would just be mean at this point. I'm not going to hear anything that would bring me closure, either - he's already had plenty of opportunities to say what he needs to, and showed no inclination to do so even when he was aware.

I know I need to pick up the phone to support my mom. I have no idea what to say when she answers.
