If you are anything like me
@Guzzler, you will find it becomes much more of a non-issue in year's time
I was only 6 months in at xmas last year, so 18 months now. last year whilst I tried to keep to low carb,I was constantly tempted and my xmas binge lasted about 5 days.
This year, I had a meal out on xmas eve, made it the one meal of the day three full courses all low carb except some vanilla ice-ceam. That led to me wanting some toast, so I had that as my xmas treat - the resulting indigestion etc, rather put me off continuing to " treat myself"
Xmas day, duck egg for breakkie, tons of turkey + veg + a couple of roast pots for lunch , a tiny spoon of the xmas pud mixed with some strawberries and cream .
I then didn't bother eating again until lunch today, which was an omeletts.
The thing that has really struck me is that my desire for the stuff I am " missing" out on, really has just gone away. I really don't want to feel like it makes me feel and the taste sensation really isn't that nice. I also didn't feel the need to eat again
Even when I do overeat, the idea of the overeating being something sweet, is no longer me at all. - hallelujah !
Blood sugars back to 4.9 today ( last Xmas it took me a week to get back under 7!)
