Yay, Official Permission to ignore Mainstream!

 I get so nervous when I ignore mainstream diet advise in order to cut most grains and really starchy fruit and dairy and stuff out, I worry that I will not do well and then they'll say 'see I told you so'.

Went to the doctor though this week and I showed her my old eating habits with sugars and what the new higher plan I was trying because I had fallen off the wagon was doing to my sugars. I wasn't even eating that many unhealthy carbs, some, but not huge amounts, and still getting sugars of 287.

So now I officially have her advise to drop that and go back to low(er) carb, which I knew, but because of mental health I am really weird about dealing with authorities. I keep being afraid it will go on my account or something and they'll use that to blame me for health problems. THey already do that with type 2, 'self-induced'.. Eh.. you know, if all these mental health issues including the binge eating disorder is due to child abuse, is it self-induced then? I don't think so.. I wonder what they'd find if they checked how many people who are overweight eat due to childhood trauma, be it abuse or other causes.

I know what the answer is, I did a lot of research on this in the past and soon some time I'm going to write about trauma, childhood, and health problems, both physical and mental! I am probably preaching to the choir but it's good to write these things out for myself too. BUt at least I now have an authority willing to stand behind me and officially give me advise that conflicts with mainstream. Very rare, such doctors.
