Mom is going to find me a diabetic cookbook

and help me shop for decent foods tomorrow

Giving up soda was one thing. Giving up things you've been eating for 90% of your life? Ha! That's going to be a challenge. already told Mom to hide the ramen.

A challenge, but not impossible.

I believe in you, Zie.

Farewell, Ramen. You were a good friend!

Ramen is extremely bad for you anyway. So really not a bad thing to give up

And as someone who had to do an extreme diet change in the last year, it's going to seem depressing for a while but you'll find a groove and foods you can eat and like

So don't feel too overwhelmed. It gets better and easier to manage.

I am overwhelmed. It's like I've been stripped of everything at once

I know. But there are things out there you can safely eat

Currently munching on cottage cheese. It's become my go-to snack

Do you like nuts? They're filled with good fats and low sugars

My boss is diabetic so when I see her next I'll ask her if she has any good tips I can pass on

I do like nuts

fruits and veggies are good too for snacking and incorporating into things

that's what my mom had to do

and also severely cut down on things with lots of carbs like pasta, which...we eat a lot of...

if you find a good diabetic cookbook let me know, I've been looking for one for my mother

Fruits aren't that good to eat as a diabetic though. They're filled with sugars

One fruit a day my mother was told is fine

thanks, yamsteapot
