| As a type ll, I've occassionally been envious of the type l folks on here who eat whatever they want and then correct for it.
I completely understand their way of thinking; that their type l wasn't of their doing and they should be able to be as "normal" as everyone else.
Call it type ll guilt. Since there's a good chance I DID have something to do with my developing type ll, eating well is somewhat of a "penance" for me and quite frankly I sometimes resent it. (and it's quite possible I was genetically pre-disposed to it and would have eventually developed T2 regardless of how I ate or exercised, it certainly runs in my family)
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to be a type l, you guys/gals go through SO much ****, but it bothers me sometimes to hear type l's talking about eating things I can't even CONSIDER touching.
Guess this is just another rant, we all have our burdens. |
