[QUOTE="lindijanice, post: 1700946, member: 446215"] Hey rgs2502, completely understand where you are coming from as the Hubby bakes all kinds of beautiful treats and gets hurt if I don't indulge..."Just a bit or two"....nope. So hang in there and if she gets upset - her issue, not yours....cold shoulders are hard to bear, but you can! My biggest concern in all of this is that you say your wife is prediabetic!! Does she not get that the next level is DIABETIC!! NOW is the time for her to get her act together and prevent herself from becoming diabetic....no disrespect to your wife, but perhaps by your being able to say no thank you, makes her feel a wee bit guilty?? If you go to diabetes.co.uk site, or dietdoctor.com, you will finds lots of vegetarian recipes that are also low carb....Maybe you could suggest that you both try them out and you can add some protein to your serving....maybe that would be a way of encouraging her to start taking a bit more control herself and yet help you stay on task...it shouldn't be a war, but a joint venture!! Cheers/L [/QUOTE]
