[QUOTE="Diver Lou, post: 1797245, member: 475380"] Thankyou Jenny, I think it's taking me over 40 years to reach some sort of level of sensibility, and can't guarantee that the future won't bring slip ups, as life can and will get in the way. Can only plod on doing my best and am at a stage where I'm kind of looking forward to eating out / working away, so I can test, yet dreading it at the same time? As for taking snacks, it's usually me driving myself and another work colleague to the head office (couple hundred miles) and he always comments on the <ahem> snacks I keep on the back seat. Poor guy has taken the brunt of my lows for a good few years now... he now knows if I say I need some lunch, I need lunch. As for denial and obsession, I suspected I had this problem from my 20's, and I came across Dr Atkin's orange book and followed that for a couple of years in my late 20's / early 30's and felt 'level' (it's the only way I can describe it), but then neglected myself a bit due to life getting in the way. Am now also obsessed, and am currently feeling that's the only way to be whilst on this learning path? I do have an 'all or nothing' approach to things type of personality, but seeing those BS numbers recently has really given me the kick needed to take care of me seriously. Also feel mindset changing that if I were to go out, wind up with a high BS (unintentionally: not many places seem to cater for LCHF foods), then it's time to get straight back on the horse, so to speak :) Think it boils down to that we all got to take care of ourselves the best we can, and keep an open mind (lordy, I sound like my Mum now!) All The Best, Lou [/QUOTE]
