Yes, yes, yes! This is exactly the approach I believe in to be healthy. Unfortunately, I have a terrible time following it - after years of dieting (and getting fatter and fatter), I still fall back on "good food"/"bad food" mentality, eating for emotional reasons, and/or watching the scale every day! None of this makes me healthy!

Emmy -- that's great that your blood sugar is under good control. Personally, I don't believe dieting works any better for people with diabetes than those without it.
Lately, I've been working on trying to eat when hungry and stop when full, and I'm surprised at how I'm really not hungry when I'm not eating, and I'm not thinking about food as much. I haven't lost weight, and I don't know if I will, but my blood sugar seems to be better, too, and I'm feeling more relaxed.

Hey, sounds like the perfect group for me! Type 2, on insulin, gave up on dieting to lose weight, and now I'm carb counting to control my blood sugar. I was told I would lose weight, Ha! I've gained, not lost weight. Oh well, at least my blood sugar is under good control.

Sara,
This sounds like it should be a great group! Thanks for starting it.
