[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2411844, member: 511345"] I can sympathise with a lot of what has been said. My taste buds missed the memo on changing after almost 2 years very low carb. I do still find eating out challenging. I think I even posted on a thread last week where someone had posted a menu and asked for some suggestions. When I looked at the menu all I could see was the food I would love but can't eat. It was enlightening to me what others saw. It really helped me and I wasn't the on e going out. For me eating out was something I used to really enjoy. Much less so now. I avoided it completely now I am more selective with where I won't go. I won't go where there are no options and at times I won't go if it will cause me too much upset. Like [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] I had a high tea (for my 50th) and loved it- not possible to do it again and I find that sad. Having said that I am able to go out as long as I am selective. I stick to Diet Coke with either rum or vodka rather than my preferred cocktails and I stick to what I know is safe. I don't 'cheat'. It's my body- don't want diabetic complications and really really don't want to go through keto flu again. I want to k now that I have done the best to avoid complications. You are even younger than me so consider them. However- sorry for the long post. You need to find a point that works for you. I can't 'cheat' because getting back on the wagon would be too hard. I never met a carb I didn't love. Most- over 90% of the time I am completely resigned and don't stress about it. For the first year it was almost all I thought about. Find a solution that works for you. Use this forum. It has made all the difference to me. Good luck! ! and virtual hugs. [/QUOTE]
