[QUOTE="Sue192, post: 1648035, member: 439516"] Hi [USER=452068]@Jessicarose[/USER] - welcome to the Forum! There is a huge amount of support on here for newbies. I sympathise - I was diagnosed three months ago and have had the odd wobble, including a massive one at a restaurant where the only thing I could see to eat was green salad leaves, chopped tomatoes and a slice of ham! (There was actually more that I could have had but the red mist descended...) It does get better, and regarding eating out, yesterday there was quite a bit on the menu: ploughmans without the bread, chicken Caesar salad (sans croutons) and what I had which was chicken fajitas (only had one small wrap) served with guacamole, sour cream and salad. Not too bad on the carb count and really tasty. One thing I would say is don't try and take it all on board all at once. Have a good browse through the Forum and the website, and check out the Diet Doctor site, as recommended by [USER=329519]@Freema[/USER] and [USER=408573]@Guzzler[/USER] (lots of other sites too). Of course you can still have a cuppa and a bun, but the bun will be different from what you're used to, perhaps better! It's a tricky time of year for adapting to a whole new way of eating and, depending on how you feel or whether you are on meds and testing, perhaps don't try and go cold turkey (excuse the awful pun) and just enjoy your Christmas. There are threads where people have posted how they are going to treat, and treat!, Christmas. [/QUOTE]
