[QUOTE="Sula, post: 229965, member: 8918"] Oh Whitby Jet you have done so well to come from being so down to contemplate jumping off a bridge ( and diabetes certainly makes you feel that way) to where you are now you are amazing. Your recipes sound wonderful and everyone on the site seems to love them but I can't find them? I think I have got into a rut with my low carbing and need to try new things.. My control is improving but I relapsed again today and had fish and chips,( 10.4 on the richter scale) I am so shocked by myself as everyone used to be in awe at my self control but I knew I would crack one day. My problem is I have always loved cooking different things especially puddings and I have just perfected pastry! with an astonishingly easy recipe which I wish I hadn't found, I love cooking Christmas puddings and mince pies at this time of year and then surprise surprise I am gutted that I can't eat them. My grandson cooks the most gorgeous sticky chocolate pudding and having resisted for 3 years I have just cracked. I miss everything and my cooking skills seemed to have improved since I am not supposed to eat the stuff. I know the only answer is to say to the family 'I'm sorry but baking bread and cakes is off' but I feel I am then forcing them to live my way of life. I don't feel my husband or family understand at all or want to help, if pushed my husband will say 'I couldn't do it' and he's so right about that but it doesn't make him more understanding of my situation. I feel if I don't get control soon I will be in real trouble. Thanks for the hug I needed that! [/QUOTE]
