I dont know about you guys, but I do know diabetes has been life changing for me. I can't go to restaurants because I can't stand watching someone eating mashed potatoes and bread and I have to eat a salad or some other boring feast. How do you all deal with this ?

I let myself splurge every now and then. I try to watch my diet 95% of the time. For me that works. I know with some people it wouldn't. It's really not fair that we have to watch everything we eat. I guess it is what it is though.

Going out and trying to eat right is one of the hardest things for me to do.

So I usually do as Lesa said although i don't think i make the 95%:-))

You see, I am basically a pig. If I cheat I go all the way and cant stop. Then its so hard to get back to what we consider 'normal'. I actually envy people who can eat everything they want.
