John, the article you listed is very helpful in understanding the factors related to eating for improving our diabetic issues. I have never thought about being full because to me it is a condition that makes me feel miserable, and I don't care for that at all. I quit overeating at Thanksgiving years ago because I thought feeling full was not at all enjoyable. Perhaps I am talking about being stuffed. It is no fun.
I only know that for years I get nauseated and have pain if I go for long periods of not eating, so after four hours I plan to eat, mostly a balanced meal. If I eat a light dinner, I feel better but sometimes am hungry during the night and can't sleep. Eating by the clock helps me in many ways, so I stick to that plan. I did it for hypoglycemia and now I do it for diabetes. Being very full does not seem to help me go longer between meals and I don't know why. Perhaps it is the stress of thinking about the pain that comes if I don't eat at regular times. I have spent years working on eliminating emotional eating, and have learned that eating less is not deprivation to my body.
I have learned to not eat because someone else did something bad.
I know my main problem is lack of exercise and the resulting lack of energy. It is getting worse, not better at age 83. I am stuck.
Don't tell me to ask my doctor. I can't stay awake during the day. My life is too good to call it depression. I have chosen another church to avoid stress and that seems to be solving some emotional issues. It was a difficult decision, however. I think getting a roommate to live in my huge home with me would help immensely. Old people were not meant to live alone, I do not believe. Dorisena
