New to site

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site and am out of Delaware. Started my journey 3 months ago and have 3 more to go before I go for insurance approval. I have Empire BC/BS and was wondering if anyone else deals with them. I am so excited to be on this path and hope that everything works out in the end.

    Auntie Traci...I swear since I've kind of decided I want to go through with this that my night time grazing has increased exponentially! I really believe it is completely psychosomatic and that, in a nutshell, has always been my problem with eating. I was eating things that were healthy, but probably just too much of it. I have diabetes, and my number was horrible this morning! This week I'm going to really buckle down and increase my Water intake and reduce my food intake.

    I feel your pain about eating at night. My hubby works nights and when my stepson was working nights. I was home alone with the tv and refrigerator!!!! Not a good combo. Thankfully I am getting out of the habit of staying up late watching tv which has helped the grazing. Good luck with your diabetes.
