[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 642137, member: 84857"] [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] to be honest I don't think he will be any different on holiday...in fact he is probably far more likely to give into temptation as the food on offer is all inclusive and so tempting.. ..the other thing is that I don't really think he knows or understands what carbs are....he still works on the "well I haven't eaten anything sugary lately" principle...am constantly trying to explain that it is not the sugary things that are the problem:banghead: and to introduce alternative foods such as nuts to his diet which I hope are better than some of the other alternatives he may choose to snack on... With regards to the said jar of Nutella I did confront him about it this evening...the answer was that he knows he shouldn't be eating it but couldn't resist it...have told him and suggested that he doesn't buy it again... ....in the meantime I have hidden it right at the back of the saucepan cupboard so hopefully it will be out of sight, out of mind until I have managed to finish it... I take your point about only having my own treats away from home but then on the other hand, why should I?.....I am sorry but I am just getting a bit resentful about the situation in terms of the fact that there are perhaps a few foods that I would really enjoy to have on the odd occasion and that I can't even do so in my own home......as I mentioned in a previous post I have given up a lot of foods in order to try to help the situation and all I get is to be made to feel guilty about a few biscuits, an odd dessert and a jar of Nutella!.........:sorry:...apologies ....rant over ...but it does annoy me...:sorry: I guess the bottom line is that this whole situation has made me look at food in a whole new light....not a bad thing but I do find that in consequence I have developed a bad relationship with food and often find it difficult to enjoy it ....particularly in the situation as I describe on our forthcoming holiday where I am literally dreading mealtimes....surely this can't be right.......surely I shouldn't be made to feel guilty about the food that I eat.....as I said before and will say again, I am not the diabetic one.... Will now wait for the comments about me being selfish etc etc but do think that I have a valid point to make....am guessing my frustration is showing through once again.....:( [/QUOTE]
