[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2201941, member: 196960"] Well done [USER=379205]@Dollylolly[/USER]. The aim is to not beat yourself up and just keep calm and carry on. I know sometimes easier times than others. My DN calls them an odd treat period. Myself I now no longer associate food with my emotions. My partner decades ago learnt coping skills around talk therapy. We talk... alot. Not saying some days him and my autistic 6yr old aren't too talkative for me when ill or very tired though. After all we are all human. They get plenty of support from me and I need to hv a break now and again to recharge. Sometimes my partner being the more needy out of the two, occasionally. Can you figure out the reason why your emotions dictate your diet? Just that realisation is sometimes enough to solve the problem. Keep reminding yourself none diabetics hv a treat a few times a year. Some are planned and some are unplanned ones. I hv other interests other than food making or buying and those interests are a great distraction. I now don't buy the carby foods. I only eat what I've planned for 99.9% of the time. Emotional eating is part habit too. I hope these 'normal' thoughts and habits are not allowed to inhibit you. You can do this. Definitely. [/QUOTE]
