But I get your logic. and yes - very logical to think it through like that. That's what got me highly motivated on diagnosis back in the day also.[USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] - A nice positive screensaver could be a photo of loved ones? Who you want to be around as long as possible? That's what really does it in the positive stakes for me. And I also get consolation from the fact that food is a high stakes item emotionally as well! See sugar/high carby food as an addiction (which I really agree it is) and be gentle with yourself for those wagons - falling off and on and so on. But try and make sure at the end of the day - excuse the cliche - you get back on that wagon! So you can be around loved ones for as long as possible, and not on the kidney dialysis machine or whatever (that is my diabetes bogeyman).  And because food is emotional as well - do you like cooking? Start going through Keto/LCHF/LC recipes and start getting into the kitchen more and cook up those delicious and low-carb dishes. (That's what I do - I don't like cooking, but I suuuuuure like eating!).</blockquote>
