Message: <blockquote data-quote="wiflib" data-source="post: 227544" data-attributes="member: 8588">Don't underestimate to power of addiction. It's very difficult to give up alcohol/cigarettes/street drugs/(insert addiction and delete as appropriate) but when it comes to something that is completely unavoidable (food) it's nigh on impossible!One bit of sweet, sugary heaven makes your body crave more and more. Don't beat yourself up, use it as a learning tool. Decide weather you are the sort of person that can exercise control over such things and only have the occasional, little bit and stop with that or go cold turkey.Over my three and a half year journey, I have discovered a HUGE amount about my relationship with food and I don't think it will stop. Currently, I have decided that if I cannot overcome those addictive urges, I 'let myself go' on low carb treats only. My current diet only consistes of protein, dairy and vegetables. One of my pig-out treats is Mama Lupees low-carb tortilla wraps turned into nachos and smothered in grated cheese. If I HAVE to eat a sweet thing it's as much 'diabetic' chocolate as I want and to hell with the side effects. Thorntons diabetc fudge bar is to die for. Thankfully, this only happens once in a blue moon.In Jaffa Cake sympathy,wiflibps. One of my mottos is"if I'm going to loose a toe, I'll do it in style and not thanks to Mr Kipling"</blockquote>
