Buy hey ho - first diabetic christmas. I've been thinking about this a lot over last couple of days, and am trying to congratulate myself on all the things I DID refuse - and there were a LOT! I'm a specialist nurse - working in oncology - and I'm sure you can imagine the mountains of goodies we get presented with at this time of year. And from the whole mountain, I ate 1 chocolate biscuit this year. I took in lots of nice snacks for myself - things like salt and pepper cashews and smoked almonds (most annoyingly a lot of my colleagues came pinchin em lol - one even told me to bring more salt and pepper cashews but forget about the smoked almonds cos she didnt like em!!). Was kind of interesting watching how much people ate. I also had my weekly weigh in today. And I gained a pound. Normally over the xmas festivities I would gain 4 or 5 pounds. So although gaining isnt something to be proud of - its not drastic and will be gone next week.Its just been a bit of a disappointment at how quickly I slipped back into some old ways. Four weeks ago I would have hesitated to touch a piece of cake even once a month - never mind 3 helpings in 1 day!Anyway, like I say I'm going to take into consideration how much LESS I had than normal, get back on the wagon and remind myself why I'm doing this. (gives my toes a jolly wiggle).As for the slap - it was a 'virtual' one I wanted - a kick up the backside - a prod in the right direction - my masochistic tendencies aren't well enough developed for owt else <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
