I've been there. carbs begat carbs, it can feel like a cycle that is hard to break. I don't think people who have not been there really understand how elevated blood sugar makes you feel hungry. There is a great feeling of liberation on the other side of the denial you mention.
 
Rushed breakfast- 1 slice of corned beef on 1 slice of cheese.
Rushed lunch: sausage sandwich in Heylo bread. 2 squares DGF Dubai bar.
Dinner: h/m moussaka with chopped mixed salad. DGF cake and a handful of blackberries I picked today. I was surprised they were ripe already, has anyone else noticed them? ( I’m in Cornwall)

Gosh those blackberries are early ripening - not there yet in Midlands although this evening I picked my first outdoor tomatoes - definitely earlier than normal despite later planting outdoors due to cool early spring. My raspberries are very poor (small and not many) this year - it's been way too dry!

I was really surprised to see blackberries so early. They were really sweet and juicy. Maybe it’s all the rain we had earlier in the year?
Wonderful that you have tomatoes already but shame about the raspberries, my favourites.
