[QUOTE="Tabbyjoolz, post: 1251631, member: 326717"] I was a binge eater too and my T2 diagnosis was the colossal kick up the bum I needed. I'm also in a similar situation re having good chefs at work - I work in a conference and exhibitions venue and Leith's do the catering. Yesterday, the first time since my diagnosis a few weeks ago, I had one biscuit and ended up eating it very slowly because it tasted so sweet and yes, it was yummy and yes, it did spike my blood sugar, but it was a good exercise to try. Before diagnosis, I would have been sneaking up to that plate of biscuits (with a lot of shame) at frequent intervals until I'd devoured the lot, averaging two bi. Now I know I can't do that any more, but I feel fine about it because on my normally low-carb, high-fat diet, I'm eating loads of things that I adore, feel satisfied and I'm losing weight (all the walking probably helps too). And I love all these ice-cream recipes, and the amuse-bouche! [/QUOTE]
