[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 872674, member: 136328"] Are you eating all the forbidden things in the evening because you are hungry or because you are trying to be good during the day? If so, make sure you plan your evening meal so you are not mondering what to have. Chicken breast/pork or lamb chop/steak with beans and some green veg (with a little sprinkle of cheese) will be very filling and won't spike your BG. Then do something to take your mind off food. You will no longer be hungry and can then tell yourself that you don't want the goodies. Is there anyone with you who can motivate you? I know it is difficult; I have to watch my husband eat all the things I can't; donuts, chocolate, biscuits, crisp etc. but I just have to remind myself of the consequences of not sticking to my diet. I would rather be healthy than eat what I shouldn't. I do occasionally tell myself "What the hell" and have a few chocolates but it is only very occasionally as I know they are harming me. I reserve my "binge" for a few chocolates and resist the bread, potatoes, pasta, pizza (occasionally have a slice and leave the base), rice, cereals (do miss my bran flakes for breakfast) and the other things I know I can't eat. I really, really miss my fruit but that too sends my BG way too high so I have my grapefruit in the morning (had that for years) as it doesn't seem to affect me and occasional a few blueberris but I so long for a nice crisp apple, chunk of pineapple or some grapes but just have to tell myself NO.
