Where have I been?



Hi All thought it was about time I explained where I am and what is going on.

I decided to try and take control of my diabetes as I have no control over the Fibromyalgia.

As you all know Fibro is depressing enough without anything else going on.
I was so low because I am still stuck in bed all day in a bedroom never leaving the house and then having to watch every single thing I ate was just soul destroying.

I saw a TV programme where a group of diabetics went on an 8 week 800 calorie diet to reverse their diabetes and I thought I could do that.
So I did.

I decided it would be easier for my husband if I just ate Slim fast bars as I could control the calories without too much messing around. For the first two weeks I at the snacks and drinks too as I didn't realise I had to count the carbs too duh!

Anyhoo 10 weeks later I had my numbers under control and decided then to go Keto. I have been vegetarian for 2 years and low carbing as a vegetarian who is not married to a chef was miserable.

I am now 4 weeks into the Keto and feeling full all the time and enjoying my meals so I'm happy. I was worried about the IBS coming back with a vengeance but so far so good.

I did want to do a video on my YouTube Channel but my computer died recently. My son tried all sorts but in the end had to clear everything and reinstall windows 10. 

That now means there is no windows movie maker so I have no way of making videos at the moment.

Might be a good thing as I got my husband to shave my head in the summer as I was too hot. It's now growing back and won't lie down so I look like the love child of Ace Ventura Pet Detective and Ken Dodd LOL.

I hope to get the video thing sorted soon
But till then
Thanks for reading
(if you did)

  1. So great to hear from you but give us the good news, please... are you able to move around better? are you leaving the house? diabetes free or have you lost weight or what other symptoms are reduced? Would love to know for all the amazing and hard work you have done to regain some control. You have strong willpower!
