Big question is, did you enjoy it? If I’m going to wander off piste then I want it to be for something I’ll enjoy and appreciate rather than eating something just because it’s there.
But whatever the motivation, in the grand scheme of things a one-off like that won’t make a great deal of difference. Draw a line and move on and perhaps try and find something indulgent you can enjoy which suits your health goals.
Hey I did enjoy it at the time yes. I've been really strict since June. I've stopped drinking and stopped mainly heaving sugary stuff. It was fox biscuits which was bought for us as an Xmas gift.
But before I went to bed, I ate 4 more chocolates from the tin. Not quite sure why I did it. From June I was 17 stone and 7 pounds. I am now 15 stone and 4 pounds. I was still eating Kebabs on a weekly basis from the takeaway. I wouldn't say I have been dieting but I've been exercising daily, with the school run. As my wife now has a job. I am a male and also afro Carribbean so I know some of it is from family.
Both parents of mine are diabetic although type 1. And both sets of grandparents were diabetic. But I haven't helped with my food addiction. I used to eat 4-5 bars of chocolate a night. And those huge bag of crisps all to myself. Or I'd order on deliveroo and order ice cream.
The eye screening was a major wake up call, plus I have three children 6 and under.
I was disappointed that I had lost two stone in weight and my hba1 test was not under the 48 to get off one of my tablets. It was 50, last year it was 55. So I guess progress has been made.
I guess given up the kebabs would be a start to get under or at 48.
My birthday is also on Friday coming up and I've begged the wife not to bake me a cake.
So to answer the question I did enjoy the chocolates but I always think 'will I live long enough, to see my children grow up' it's strange.
Sorry for the essay.
