[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 892042, member: 150927"] I found myself falling off the I.F. wagon, so to speak, in the weekend in particular, so was very relieved to read in here that as far as that **** goes - **** happens! Or can do. So thanks Brunneria for sharing your similar experiences! (And I love the new pic!) I have also read somewhere online (I think, bizarrely it was a bodybuilding website) that when you find yourself lapsing, or falling more dramatically off the wagon you just climb back on again and carry on. Seemed sensible advice! As I just ate 8 pieces of dairy milk hazelnut chocolate to try and make myself feel better I guess I had better be on the wagon this afternoon for sure! I hate the idea of deprivation and wagon riding, so I guess I need another way to frame this.... I'll write it up when I come up with it! Anyway. Yes. Socialising can put a stick in the wheel of the I.F.-ing. Socialising is really good for my blood glucose (I am nearly always in a good range afterwards), but not for sticking to routines, so I like Brunneria's idea of adapting the I.F. to your social life/weekend as needs be. Or, I need to get better at stalling eating the next day till later. (So far - a big negative.) (Gee I get hungry.) (And I am not very nice tempered when I have both high blood glucose and I am hungry. My poor nearest and dearest!) At the moment I have a life full to overflowing with bureaucracy and form filling and phone calls and so on, and I get grumpy and annoyed and generally evil tempered dealing with a lot of such stuff. Hence me turning to chocolate to try and do something about my feeling so pissey. I have sadly too gotten my cravings for sweet back, after a really long time of not craving sweet since diagnosis. (Hmm, yes, I do see the interconnection.) Of course I am scared as all hell by this. A diabetic with rising glycation and a growing burgeoning sweet tooth - ouch! Chocolate - and going for a walk! Walking in the fresh air has been a good way for me to deal with the high irritation levels that come with higher blood glucose for me. (I guess I had better walk to the one shop in town which stocks stevia sweetened 80% cacao dark chocolate.) (Now I'm irritated by the idea of having to walk to the one shop in town which stocks.....) My fasting blood glucose was getting better before my I.F. starting getting mucked up and I began eating more sweet things. Now it is going up and down rather a lot. And I am finding being hungry in the morning hard, particularly when I wake up early, which makes sense. And now I'm down to my last 10 blood glucose testing strips, and have to get on the phone and fill in forms and so on and so forth to get more. And my blood glucose is probably going really high from those 8 pieces of hazelnut chocolate... (And I can't put off taking my poor breaking computer to the shop to get fixed any longer!) Oh dear.
