I too plan to celebrate Christmas and the New Year as usual.
A little bit of everything is my motto. I don't eat to excess or drink to excess. I don't need to be tipsy or drunk to enjoy myself anymore, believe me, I used to. :shock: I certainly shall be having roasts, parsnips,carrots etc. Christmas Pud and lashings of hot sweet custard. Life's too short to worry about that load of carbs ?
With the control of Bg levels throughout the days I feel so much brighter and fitter - it really does make a difference to your outlook on life. I have always enjoyed having people around and having fun. That's what the festive season is all about, enjoying yourself. Celebrating in whatever way suits you best.
As for the food, like Sue says.....it's a few days for goodness sake. A few of those treats are definitely advised. Just keep a check on the levels, but don't 'beat' yourself up if they are a trifle (sherry) higher than normal. You'll get over it. :lol: Whatever you do, avoid those so called 'Diabetic Treats (chocolates puddings etc) unless you plan on spending Christmas in the loo !!
As for that Turkey Sarnie.....yes please, bring them on - with plenty of Garner's Pickled Cabbage or Onions as well. I can eat that ANY time of the year.
A Turkey isn't just for Christmas.....it's for life !! :lol: (not the Turkey's obviously. lol)
