Not sure why it happens - except maybe sugary carby stuff is a bit addictive - it certainly was in my case.Today i ate some biscuits. Not really sure how many. Definitely more than anyone should eat.
What is worse, they were not even nice. Knew I should not be eating them, realised I wasn't enjoying them and kept right on.
Anyone know why this happens? How to prevent it in future.
When I started getting problems with diabetic retinopathy and my right foot started to go numb l knew I had to take urgent action.
The hardest time was queuing in a cafe for my coffee next to all my favourite cakes. I would look at a cake and mull over the following question "what would I prefer - keep my eyes and feet or eat the the cake '. I would imagine in graphic detail what it was like to lose my sight and have my foot amputated (not hard to do after watching the Panorama programme). A bit macabre but it did work. The eyes and feet always won.
After a while just looking at something sweet made me feel a bit yuk and there was absolutely no way I could eat it. I suppose I sort of brainwashed myself.
