[QUOTE="Mungobean, post: 2470293, member: 545261"] [USER=537152]@AlexMac[/USER] I understand exactly what you mean. I am tube fed and haven’t eaten a meal for around 7 years and I can almost feel myself starting to feel depressed about food at this time of year. Whilst food shopping last weekend, I could feel tears welling up, because all I want to do is shove a Christmas dinner down my neck. My family are very kind but I just kind of want to be left to my own devices. I get asked if I want to sit at the table while they eat Xmas dinner. Um no thanks. Do I want to have a small dinner and chew it and spit it out into a bucket? Really no thanks! I just want to be left to have a little quiet time and read my book, while they are eating their dinner. I have a sweet tooth too and I want nothing more than to bury myself in a tin of Quality Street but I am trying to be good. I have started by not buying loads of chocolate for the house - none of us really want lots of chocolate lying around for weeks. I really wanted one of those personalised tins of QS (for the tin) but decided that we could do without having 1.2 kg of chocolate in the house! I have made a little compromise by buying a small box of beautiful chocolates from a local place. They cost me tons more than the tin of QS, but they do look beautiful. It’s my first Christmas as a diagnosed T1 and I think that in short I am dreading other people fussing about what I should or shouldn’t have, over Christmas! I know that I sometimes I get looks if I eat something. I’m an adult and I will just try and keep things under control. If I cause myself to vomit or cause myself pain, then that’s my look out!
