I have low will power also :(
My boss often buys lunch, he will say "What's for lunch B" which in the past was great but now I go out and it is so hard not to partake, today I had pizza and fry's, I did limit myself to only five fry's and I didn't have a coke or sprite, I had a diet rootbeer but ohhhhh how I wanted a ice cold coke!
It is sooooo hard, I feel ya!!!

I gave in and had a whole jalapeno bagel and a Canadian maple boston cream donut. Just waiting for my numbers to shoot up. But that is a treat. Eating like that every day is definitely not good for anyone. We have to watch what we eat. Everyone should, not only people with diabetics. I started this AM at 5.8 Canadian that is 104.5 American numbers at 7:30am. Will post what it is soon.

Just checked again and it was 10.1 that is 181.1 American numbers. Still in the acceptable range. So the occasional indulgence of sweets does not hurt. But that is very occasional. Besides that I do not want to pack on the pounds again. The Canadian Maple Cream donut was good.

It is definitely hard. My doctor told me to indulge now and then other wise you will tend to over indulge, which is not good. I try to find sweets that stay within the guidelines of 15-20 grams of carbs so I don't feel too bad :) Fantastic - I know it is twice at hard at work, especially in that scenario. Knuckle - you are too funny - glad your numbers were OK.

It is hard, even after 18 years dealing I still think "wonder what my numbers would be if I ate 'this or that'. But I turn that craving into some exercise or just put it out of my mind and find something else to nibble on, like celery even

I try to eat right. Instead of eating breakfast and lunch I drink a Glucerna drink and eat a reasonable dinner. I usually eat a granola bar for snack the ones I found are only 14 grams of carbs, so within the reasonable scale. The Glucerna only have 23 carbs so also very reasonable. The question is why can't I lose any weight? I've been gaining. I even started walking 2 to 3 times a week.

I tried that diet and still could not lose weight. Your body goes into starvation mode. You really need to eat a good breakfast, lunch and dinner could be on the light side. All these supplements are just that supplements. Now I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and I have lost almost 20 lbs since Christmas. Nice and slow.

We all fall " off the wagon" so to speak so don't beat yourself up, just get back on track. I try very hard to stay away from sweets esp. chocolate as I am a "chocoholic" by nature!!! I have tried to find substitutes for the craving and usually try to eat light and fit greek yogurt. You can get that in chocolate in some areas and it is well worth the money as it is high protein and very low sugar. My numbers do not go up with this yogurt. I usually have that for breakfast.

Your will power is admirable and I try to do the same thing. It takes work but it will all fall into place. After a while it won't seem like such a chore.

Good luck to you and vent whenever you need to. That is what this group is all about.

Hugs too!!

Glad to know I am not the only one :) I think I am still losing weight -have not weighed myself in a while, but I do still sneak in some "bad" foods here and there. I find myself eating a lot of fruit, which I know can be bad at times, depending. I think I am still being good. I guess it is hard for me to judge at times. I know I am 100% better than I was before I was diagnosed, but still working on getting to where I need to be. I think since my numbers have still been OK, I don't punish myself as much. Oh well, I see the doctor in a few weeks, so hopefully she can give me some more insight, and I will also have an updated A1C reading at that time.
