[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 908399, member: 41816"] On a practical level, one of the greatest motivations i have found is my blood glucose meter. I have found that if i allow myself a 'treat' without testing, i go completely off the rails and binge. But if i allow myself a 'treat' with the commitment that i [B][I]WILL[/I][/B] test, 30 mins, 1hr, 1.30, 2, until i return to normal... It is a brilliant reminder of the harm i am doing to myself. Seems to work in two ways - i take smaller portions, and i'm less likely to do it again. We went out for 'afternoon tea' about 18 months ago. Special celebration with my partner. I had 1 round of sandwiches and 1 scone with cream and a smear of jam. Left the crisps (chips), the 3 cakes and the rest of the jam (he ate them all for me. :D) My bg went up by 10.4 mmol/l (thats about 180 US bg units) and it took 5 hours to return to starting point. I've never even been [B][I]tempted[/I][/B] to do it again! [/QUOTE]
