[QUOTE="Lifeissweetenough, post: 609837, member: 111231"] What would you say to a loved one who voiced this angst and tension around food and blood sugars? It's the longing that's difficult to bear. The thing with longing is that it's never satisfied and sometimes when I'm faced with temptation, I remind myself of this. That no matter what I eat, the longing will be there until my mindset shifts. I'm sorry, I don't find refuelling my already high levels of angst with pics of diabetic complications very helpful. Who wants to live with the grim reaper on their shoulder- that's not living, that's a death sentence in itself! I'm also not suggesting that ghe alternative is to graze on sugar either- but there is a kinder way of being with oneself around it. That it takes a moment to say no but hours to allow feelings to muddy this. That the longing will pass. That there are moments when you won't feel any longing without even trying. That it's like riding a wave... I'm going to try this myself! [/QUOTE]
