This is one of the pictures I didn’t originally like from my set with @gemmaedwardsuk 📸 because I thought I looked fat, but now I’m very fond of it. I guess I must be progressing and getting better with body positivity .. On the other hand, when my weight gets too high (and I’ve gained weight since this shoot) all other areas of my health deteriorate. Recently my toes went numb, a nail fell off after a very light bash, I fainted, my blood sugar ratios are completely off so it’s harder to manage my diabetes, I’ve admitted depression to myself, I’ve given up a multitude of bad habits, and I’m going through some Freudian family issues which are causing me mania. I’ve realised admitting it all to myself is most of the battle, so I’m feeling mentally stronger than ever. It’s important to add these are first world problems and most people have it way worse. It’s also important to note to myself to stop telling myself ‘it’s not that bad’, when I’ve been in hospital multiple times over the last few years. Do you all have conditions that perpetuate other problems? #diabetic #type1diabetic #diabeticfood #diabetestype1 @rambo @missy @sean
