I apologise for the random comment but I felt I had to say something.

I feel that your willpower is simply amazing and how you are managing to try to stay in control is brilliant.
My brother was diagnosed with diabetes three years ago at first, it shook us all. However now, he's been able to pull himself out from the depression he felt when he first found out.

I really believe you're going to get through this and whatever else that may stand in your way to become that "strong confident woman" you plan to be.

Again I apologise for the randomness of this comment and sorry if it freaks you out a little.

Best of luck,
Bippie

Maybe you've gotta look at whats stresing you out, because stress can lead to eating for comfort. Also there are loads of diabetic sweets and treats out there that could replace all the bad type of sweets and treats.
Your right to only try changing one thing at a time. Don't beat yourself up too much if you do eat that chocolate cake or else you'll never get to the place you wanna be at. If you feel hungary all the time, fill up your stomach with water. It'll trick the mind into thinking that you've eaten a full meal. You may need to pee more. Eating litte and often is also a good way to speed you matabolisum, like nuts or fruit. Try talking to people who have the condition cause they could help you. Hope that wasn't too personal as I don't know your or your situation. Hope I helped
