after a year of crappy eating (i had some depression issues after i was told i would have a total hysterectomy at age 27, then the cancer and then the pregnancy. i am just now getting back to normal LOL) i am coming back to whole and organic foods. i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes 2 weeks ago and after some diet playing i am having really good levels with going back to crunchy.

i hope you ladies dont mind my hanging out and asking some questions :butterfly

edited to add: after 2 weeks with no processed sugar i can already tell a difference in my aspergers and OCD (a good difference of course :D )

That is awesome Branwyn. I'm glad it was controllable with diet.

Ask away. I am getting my diet back to crunchy. The girls is but I eat like crap at work. But, Beth will spend most of the summer here at work with me. So, I need to get better. Today, we ate hotdogs at Sam's because I needed gas in my truck.

Howdy Branwyn!

;cool:

Welcome! Congrats on controlling your diabetes.

Wow sounds like you have been through an awful lot! I aplaud you knowing that you need to change your diet... for me it is always not noticing until things have gotten really out of hand... I think you are doing well! Welcome and I wish you the best of luck!

Love Val

I have been lurking more and more here trying to get some ideas to help change our diet too.

Hiya!!!

You crochet? What do you crochet?

Aspergers- yours or theirs?

Welcome. I love it here; I learn so much from many wise women. As for me, in the past month or so I've become so addicted to organic that I've gotten to the point where if it isn't organic, I don't eat it (which is great since I have a terrible sweet tooth - it's really helping with that because last time I checked, Diet Pepsi and Twix weren't certified organic).

:thumbsup:

I am so glad that you noticed such quick changes with your diet adjustments : )
Great positive reinforcement.

Ask away. We are all human here : ) And...these women(and Ian) are a wealth of knowledge : ) :heart:
