need meal ideas for celiac & diabetes
If anyone has any meal plans for gluten issues as well as diabetic issues, please point me in the direction of what I should do. Most everything is ungodly expensive, or I get too stressed/busy to keep things creative enough for me to want to eat planned out meals. Please let me know what helped you. Salads are a no, because my house is old/doesn't have an air system. With North Carolina's weather, it can be 90 in the day and 40 at night, and my fridge will freeze all fruits and vegetables overnight.
A little venting:
I always take care of everyone but myself. I was diagnosed with celiac 2 years ago, but I have yet to consistently stay gluten free (mainly blaming costs). I knew diabetes ran in my family, but until my recent test results with heightened testosterone and a level right at being confirmed diabetic, I realize I cannot continue to ignore this.
With my ex stressing me out, I haven't exercised since June. I'm scared to go out anywhere locally, so I gotta travel to go to a park and even then I still get major anxiety since I know he/they have people reporting my every move to him. (& then he/his crew turns around and says im a "psycho for being this paranoid". All hail the gas-lighting king!) Even before I still had anxiety since he's threatened me so much, even while pregnant, but now he has everyone from all over the state pressing charges on me when I don't even know some of these people. & it's never anyone local. It's always people over an hour away, which makes me waste money on hotels, rentals, gas, chasing down a lawyer in an area I've never been to, etc.
I'm sleeping the way I did in my heavy partying days. I'll wake up late, struggle to stay awake and finally give in around 2. Wake up at 5. This isn't good for me or my baby (or my pets, too). Recently I've had my baby stay elsewhere because of his crazy "dad", so maybe I'm physically depressed as well. It really sucks to feel like I cannot keep my child safe and the only safe space is 3 hours away in a different state. I feel like I have failed at the very thing that has kept me motivated to stay alive. He just turned 1 so there is this huge void of fun, exciting milestones I'm missing with him daily.
His "dad's" on again/off again "girlfriend" constantly makes comments about my weight, even though we have the same body type, she's just a little taller than me. She will drive by screaming how my fat ass needs to stay away from him 🙄 (clearly he don't mind and he needs to be the one you scream at if that were the case? Especially with everyone saying I'm the "obsessed stalker", butttt I'm not out here driving by people's houses to scream about their weight 😑😑😑).
On one of her bullshit charges she made on me, she got everything right (even my license plate number!!!?!?!) about me, but put how I weigh 180 in the description 🙄. One of my ex's coworkers described it best: She used to be a bigger girl and lost some weight, and she suddenly thinks she's a fitness model because she goes to the gym once a month and eats asparagus and a ton of cream cheese.... so you'd think she'd be a bit more understanding of my post-partum body 🤷🏼♀️.
I always joke about my body type being "skinny but loves pasta", but lately at 133 lbs, I look INSANELY BLOATED. Like it's sooooo bad lately. Im just so puffy and big looking, and I cannot pull off extra weight. I don't look good with extra pounds. So my weight and body type is on my mind, much less with a bigger girl using "lullzz imma put she weighs 180 on this bullshit restraining order I'm gonna cuss out the clerk of court to get". I know I look chunky. I can feel it. But it just won't go away. The heaviest I got was 156 while pregnant last summer. My stretch marks on my stomach are more visible the more weight I lose which is very disheartening.. and I just wished I looked 133 lbs. but I don't.
And if anyone has been through similiar health issues, please let me know if you had intense back pain before you got serious about correcting your diet.
Getting into tattooing as a career, my back CANNOT hurt like this every single day already. If my back pain isn't in correlation with my diet, I am gonna be so doomed 😭. My back pain, and the noises it makes, is similiar to people who have been consistently tattooing for 15 years. I'm not even past my first year 😭. I'm hoping and praying I'm just really inflamed because of poor diet/stress management.
& no... yoga doesn't help. It actually made my back hurt way worse.
