That brings up the scene in "The Life of Brian"
) alternatives chosen where necessary. I don't really see any particular need to take a day off or feel deprived in any way - my mother hated turkey and would always eat a steak for her Christmas dinner, and it never made her alternative meal any less Christmassy... so mine's definitely not going to be ruined by lack of a mince pie or two. 
A thread after Christmas where we confess our sins will be interesting. I wonder how many of us stick to our plans.
I have already bought Aunt Bessie's Roast Potatoes.
Forgive me Father for I have sinned View attachment 10079 I have already bought Aunt Bessie's Roast Potatoes.
Does it make my sin any less if I tell you they are in Goose Fat?Now that IS a sin. Roast potatoes should be roasted with the meat and added goose or duck fat. Shame on you
Love your point on this Bluetit! You may recall I was in a quandary the start of the month about this! We don't have Christmas pudding or cake anyhow as I'm not struck on either and my girls look in horror at it! I'm allowing myself a couple of (new) roasties with dinner, tea will be cheese, pickled shallots(thats a treat!) As my elder is at her boyfriends families there's not the usual sweets and chocolate in either, I just got what younger daughter likes......I told myself I may have a couple but looking at them I don't feel the urge at all! I think I will test just fasting, maybe not bedtime. I'm telling myself I've done so well in 6 months that it won't hurt for one day......then back on it, at least my hba1c isn't until April (and my latest jeans are starting to slip again anyhow!)I will have my normal brekkie of yogurt, berries and flax. For dinner it won't be any different from every Sunday as we always have a roast. I don't like parsnips or stuffing, but will have peas, carrots and other veggies, plus gravy and my usual 2 roast spuds. Not sure about the Yorkshire Pudding yet. None of us likes Christmas pud or cake, so that won't be a problem. If some After Eights fall out of their wrappers, I may indulge in one, but only if hubby isn't looking. For tea it will be cheese and pickled onions with some water crackers. The red wine will flow all day, hopefully into my glass.
My meter will be upstairs in its case. I may get it out at bedtime. But I may not!
Merry Christmas one and all
Sorry took your comment personality .. Having a very bad day ... Will stay away from here again .. After all I would like to not be here
Indigestion, bloating, thirst, excess widdling, rocketing BG, increased chance of hypoing, mood swings, carb cravings, increased insulin resistance, aching limbs, tiredness, apathy...
I'v just been a week without my meds, It's horrible. I am going to behave myself, besides which my father in law is there, he is also diabetic and he really like to put me down. Can't drink, not even sugar free coke or anything containing caffeine, roll on New Year, he goes to bed early.
I will probably add a mince pie to my otherwise LCHF menu.
And maybe an 11g bag of popcorn.
And one piece of the fudge I made for Mr B's stocking.
I'd love to splurge all the way, but I've learned by now (sadly I finally seem to be growing up. A bit.) that however much I enjoy the eating I would hate the after effects.
So it kinda wouldn't be worth it...
