[QUOTE="geefull, post: 1449172, member: 305199"] [USER=381207]@NatJS[/USER] hello there :) some good advice about 'treats' on here already but one thing that strikes me about your post on re-reading it is that part of the difficulty you say you have resisting food you really like may be the difficulty you have in resisting your friends. I suffer from this too, I really hate to disappoint or disoblige people. It's not easy, but, I have got better at resisting food and friends with practice and to be honest it has made me [B]much[/B] better at resisting people i don't like so it's win win for me :) I don't preach but now gently explain that my body is carb intolerant and encouraging me to cheat even 'just once' is not a helpful thing for them to do, though I appreciate their gesture and understand they don't intend to make life harder for me. I do apologise for turning their offer down but I am finally beginning to feel that I'm not apologising for being me and it's a real self esteem boost to feel that I'm the one in control at least some of the time. I'm not saying I don't 'cheat' but I try to keep it 'treat' and I feel so much better if it's on my own terms, I plan even if it's only to the extent of setting rules for myself in an unexpected situation.
