[QUOTE="sd29, post: 1410886, member: 33878"] Your illness isn't your identity. And we all were someone else yesterday. It's easy to feel lost after such a big, life changing diagnosis. It can feel like you've been cheated, like the rug has been pulled out from under your feet and it's easy to feel scared. Out do the guys in salad munching, try different foods in those same pubs, cafes and restaurants, have an occasional treat (sorry, but it's true that cutting everything out is unrealistic and can do more harm than good in many ways in my opinion). Speak to a nutritionist about eating out and don't avoid it. When fears and insecurities take over, we make our world very small. Hold dinner parties, think of who you like to me and make incremental steps towards that. Above all else, lasting change needs time and patience. You're changing habits not the nub of who you are. Transforming for life and soul to the wallflower is not an option by the sound of it, so swap the deep on to thin and crispy, build the highest salad tower and enjoy a different life. Carpe diem - not carb free diet! [/QUOTE]
