Let’s hear the New Year resolutions.

Second @iblive on this one: cant make what i cant keep lol.

I'll say for the benefit of the topic, to try to chill out more and let stuff go in passing. But, im extremely wound, so the mellow-hippie philosophy probably ain't holding up either lmao

Truth is. I would like to play guitar more. Get better on songs I’ve been working on for a while. Push myself to learn some new techniques. Finish that Tele project I’ve been working on for years.
 
I never make resolutions either.

However, as of the week before Thanksgiving and my diabetes diagnosis the Sunday Prior and Tuesday following, I continued to work on my weight reduction and added stopping or drastic reduction of prior food choices and amounts of even good foods eaten, so as to improve my blood sugar and HbA1c numbers into safe zones again and not at double and triple the optimum levels as my blood work showed I had devolved to.

I flat out hate hate hate knowing I now have type 2 diabetes or diabetes of any kind. Worse is I am now forced to be a regimented and decisively strict person.

Screw resolutions, I just want to be able to eat and not feel like I will die if I get too low or too high a blood sugar, BS
I now struggle not to be depressed. On one bright side, I am down from 259lbs to around 237lbs at present since around Sept/Oct. I'd like to see 200-210lbs by summer in order to feel as if I have any hope of reversing the diabetes and blood pressure issues.

I feel ya man, i had to go on a diet a while back for blood pressure and cholesterol reasons( both been good now and under control without needing medicine to treat either for over 4 years, cholesterol sometimes gets a lil up but largely under control). Went from my worse point of 242 to 187.5 in about 6 months, amazingly enough ( went to a weight loss clinic if im telling you the truth lol). It sucks, aint gonna lie to ya! But it gets better and you get used to it after a while

Good luck man!
 
Sp8, you can do it, and if I may state what might be the obvious. Do not beat yourself up for any lesser a result than you hope for, but take stock in the accomplishments. Perfect the things you have succeeded at, and work extra hard on the things that you struggle with. Once you succeed in the hard stuff, it makes the easy stuff even easier.

And Most of all, Have fun.

Holy Freakin WOW, HOW can you or I even possibly be 187.5? I don't think I have seen 197.5 in over 25 years when I was in my 30's. Lowest I was when I was busting azz digging a 30x40 footer for a garage and laying up thousands of 12 inch concrete block to do the foundation, and tons and tons of gravel shoveled into the ditches for drainage. This was when I was about 193 lbs @ age 40- 45.

Well i didnt stay that weight for long, it came with its own problems: basically lost muscle and thus any ass to do anything physical lol i settled for 195 , bounced around with it and 203 back and forth a while. Try to keep it under 200 for good measure these days.

The jackasses at the weight loss place told me i should be 178 and i laughed. Hadnt been that since probably 9th grade and never will be again lol im good where im at i feel

Chili,

My wife has had Type 2 diabetes for a few years. Limit carbs, especially from sugary or starchy foods. I know that’ll be tough, but it does help.
