[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 248007, member: 31362"] It really sucks Helen. I think you have to be quite analytical to handle it. I sat down and looked on the internet at what happens (yes, with photos of feet with holes in) and all the complications and made decision one: I can't have any of that decision two: There are a number of things I simply can't eat any more, so I shall pretend they're not available; they don't exist. bit like peanuts to a person with nut allergies. I then started to work on what I CAN eat, and suddenly it's not too bad. Thanks to posts on here, and work on the internet, I eat "almost" bounty bars, chocolate hazelnut truffles, ice coconut chocolates, pies, sausage rolls, pizza, - most things not QUITE as good as before, but all ok and low carb. Basically, you need to come up with a food plan you can stick to for life (and it can be a good one) and just put all else out of the mind. That's why i tend to disagree with some posts on here about "occasional treats"; ok for some, but for lots it's like the "occasional fag" - no such thing! Try and look on the good side. There's lots of yummy stuff you CAN eat! :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
