During my 2 week low carb challenge, I did a lot of thinking, and I looked at a lot of my behaviour and so on... all I can tell you is, when I see McDs I want it... as soon as the thought hit my head, I want it like nothing else. The craving becomes unbearable. But I am also someone who sabotages my own success, the LCHF from dietdoctor wasn't the success I needed it to be and so I think I kinda said 'sod' it. Yesterday I felt so low that I made the biscuits just because I could. I feel so poorly today, I am on a day off. I feel sickly and so down in myself. Im disgusted with my inability to be in control of this.
I agree with you, we all have our of days, but we can get back on track, I found some lovely 85% chocolate couple of weeks ago, so tempting so I avoid that shop now, once you open the packet so difficult to stop at a small piece!!!! I love ginger biscuits! Anythink sweet and naughty, so don't best ourself a up about it, just get back on track. Have a treat now and again good luckHey, we all, I'm sure, get down days like that I'm sure....it isn't always easy. I fly through low carb days sometimes, cooking good, tasty, low carb food and really enjoy it but others I'm my own worst enemy....my weakness is thickly sliced buttered bread or toast dripping with butter. A slight saving grace of that is the butter does help keep the highs down a bit....
Don't beat yourself up about it (i know it's hard when you feel like cr*p) but make yourself somethin nice for lunch....cheesy scrambled egg with tomato maybe (3 eggs and mayb use cream instead of milk)
I can ignore feeling hungry but cravings are harder to beat. 're McD'd, make your own burger, fry some onions, slice some cheese and tomatoes put the hot onion s on top of cheese and tomatoes to melt it and serve on bed of lettuce....divine....I usually have two burgers
Yup. We have "snail" (snow/hail). Looks like we're on course for another great British summer!Not diabetic subject but anyone else got snow today? Snowing here.

Where does the other diva fit in? (Me)???????Anna, with your gorgeous young looks we could be Sister and "Sister" oops meant Brother
@maureen5752 did I already suggest your thyroid needed checking? Just a thought. Hope you don't mind.Like to have a treat, apple crumble, gonna use almond flour & oats but don't like sweeteners, anyone got any ideas pls? Hope everyone's ok, I've been having bad headaches and feeling very cold last few days , hope not coming down with anythink, tho I've felt very cold, shivering, since become diabetic, never felt cold before tho, confused, sitting with blanket wrapped around me now. Good day to you all, like the photo Liam, put the Epsom salts back in the cupboard!
Cwtches? Is that like cwtchy-cwtchy under the chin? I LOVE them!Hi everyone, hope you're all having a good day or at least better than yesterday.
@paula.nolan42
There is absolutely no need to feel disgusted with yourself, you're just normal. I'd like to meet the person who has never done anything that they know is relatively bad for them, even though it's soooo good and enjoyable at the time. I'll hold my hand up and say I've probably done that hundreds of times over the years and will keep on doing it, I'm human not perfect (although I insist to hubby that I am). Give yourself a break, enjoy the taste memory of it and make it last. Hope you're feeling better soon. Cwtches coming your way. Karen xx
I was wondering cos someone else's used the word recently "cwtched up on the couch under a blanket'. Asked what she meant but she never repliedCwtches? Is that like cwtchy-cwtchy under the chin? I LOVE them!
Did you like it? I did even thou my sister and her hubby weren't impressed. I enjoyed it, in fact.Phew! I've got a numb bum now - I got the latest Star Wars DVD for DS this afternoon and after him telling his friends about it online and me phoning mum it was rather late when we started watching it. Note to self - don't start watching a 2 and a half hour long film after 8 pm! Night all

Years ago doctor considered thyroid meds but I had liver problem which we never found out why, but they say my thyroid is ok now, was tested not so long ago. Probably old she just falling apart ha ha. See how things go if not I'll go see doctor again thanks for asking. Hope you and family are ok@maureen5752 did I already suggest your thyroid needed checking? Just a thought. Hope you don't mind.
All good @maureen5752 . At my last bloods my thyroid was high but gp left meds as as he predicted its low again. Hum... just like my bgs. I'll mention mine tomorrow with dn. Keep warm and keep away from kelp or slimming aids. Kelp (seaweed) is full of iodine which can interfer with the thyroid.Years ago doctor considered thyroid meds but I had liver problem which we never found out why, but they say my thyroid is ok now, was tested not so long ago.
