Well Done Laura. On the right track

Sounds like you're getting on top of things, well done!

If I were you I'd chuck out the Easter eggs and remove temptation. Have you ever thought of doing something like cross-stitch? I find it is great when I'm hungry because I can't eat when I am doing it.

Get the kids to eat their Easter eggs, they've had them a month. Once they are gone, you can't eat them.

thank you for your kind words, I will come on here regularly like I used to and I dont mind people telling me off etc , its what I need, as kind words juat make me tearful again, I suppose its better that I get back up and start again rather than just carrying on the way I have and not helping myself, my diet is so restericted though as I dont like many foods so I am going to have to re-educate myself, I have my diabetic hopsital appointment in 7 weeks and I am hoping that I can see some improvements by then, as last year I was told I only needed to go every 6 months as I was doing so well

It sounds to me like you beat yourself up enough, so you don't need anyone else telling you off. I think you're really hard on yourself which is probably why you've done so well in the past and then went off the rails because being hard on yourself is hard work! Stop. You're human, you have diabetes, you can only do what you can do and in your own time. Your reluctance to attend hospital appointmens tells me you're afraid you won't 'please' the doctors. The truth is you don't have to 'please' anyone except yourself and when you succeed next time, which I'm sure you will, you won't have to sabotage your success in case that doesn't please someone either.

Please try to be a little more gentle and a little more forgiving of yourself and realise what a lovely, strong even if tearful, person you are. Tears ARE a sign of STRENGTH, they are not a weakness.
