Terry:

I know what you mean. While my situation isn't nearly 
as debilitating as yours I'm stuck at a very low 
physical level, mostly hanging around the house. Not 
grazing is really tough, I REALLY had to deal with it 
before I adjusted to the diabetic life style but it's 
still hard.

What you have to do is start grazing on non-starchy 
veggies and zero calorie sweets. You have to keep some 
fat in your diet or you'll always be hungry but a TBSP 
of olive oil during a meal will satisfy your hunger for 
several hours.

It's the in between times you have to get a grip on. I 
used veggies to replace goodies for the bored, nervous, 
frightened eating I did, still do actually but it isn't 
like just after I was diagnosed.

Hang in there Terry.
