I hear you! I simply CANNOT diet - well, that's not entirely true, as I've been somewhat successful (as much as 35 lbs) in the past, but it's not something I can really live with. Not to mention that I keep waiting to feel more energy after I've been eating healthily and lost some weight. But I've never had that experience, so I think there's more to it.
I actually would like to try the opposite of what you said, Dinah. Exercise, but no diet. Or perhaps try eating in moderation, but not be too hard on my food choices (still allow for the things I love), but try to get some walking, yoga, etc. in there. I think THAT would make me feel better moreso than dieting.
I don't know what to tell you about certain foods making you feel bad, yet continuing to eat them. Personally, I see it sometimes as a way of punishing myself, though perhaps not totally consciously. I don't have diabetes (yet), but certain foods do make me feel *terrible*, yet I push that right out of my mind when I eat.
Wish I had an answer. Just keep working toward what you want - don't give up, I guess!
Take care.
