Bad Day

Had a rough day at work today and at lunch i took myself out for a walk. Started feeling light headed...probably should have eaten before i went out. I gave in to temptation in Subway.....

Not good...bad Sam. Normally i would beat myself up pretty badly which would set off my need to confort eat.

However...as the afternoon wore on i thought...no...i am not going to give myself hell for succumbing. Instead i am going to say draw a line under it and move on. By the time i got home i was determined to stick to the BSD800 again. Tea was an omelette with a bacon medallion and salad.

Feel better about myself tonight for not succumbing to giving myself a hard time and for not triggering the comfort eating cycle.....maybe i needed a slip like this to also change my mind set on how i deal with slip ups.

Other lesson learnt....eat before you go for a walk lol.

Sam 5350 hi why not treat yourself every now and then yes diabetes is nasty but we can't let it rule our lives completely.all the best and take care.
 
Subway? That's a sandwich shop?
I can't see that as a 'treat' - though it shows how long I have been eating low carb.
Now a roast chicken or a leg of lamb - I can resist anything but temptation.
The Lidl protein rolls are good and don't spike me, and I am so sensitive to carbs, so I think that they will be safe for most people, and you know when you've eaten one of them.
