Let's QUIT the sweets!?

BrendaLee

I've had a relapse! My husband is out of town working on a trial, and I just found out that he isn't coming back this weekend like we expected, so it will be another week plus before I see him again! I was so sad...I was trying to shake it off, but for some reason I got it in my mind that chocolate would perk me up. Unfortunately I didn't even get GOOD chocolate...just a 3 Musketeers from the vending machine.

I felt a little better while I was eating it, but now I still miss him terribly AND I feel guilty for blowing my calories for the day!, so I feel even worse!!! :frown:

This is just a reminder for myself -- chocolate is not the answer!

I know! Isn't that how it is? We think the sweets are going to make us feel better, but that good feeling lasts until the last bite is gone, and then whatever made us eat it is still there.

oh man 250 mg/dl is pretty high.. 70-110 mg/dl is the normal value for blood sugar on average.. Please please take care of yourself.. I'm a nurse and I know how diabetes affects the body... Please....

Hmm can I still join the group? I have the same problem with regards to my sweet tooth.. it's my downfall.. I have to quit cold turkey or else I won't stop pigging out and stuffing my mouth with sweets.. so addicting.. I...can't...stop.. with.. just... ONE... aaarrggghhhh!!!!!!! :grumble:

My doctor sent me for a fasting glucose test, so I'll see what happens with that, and YES, of course you can join.

Yay! I just realized that I didn't have any sweets for like three days now! :drinker: How's everybody doing? Hope everyone's great!:happy:

BrendaLee, I just wanted to share, there's this test done for diabetics called Glycosylated Hemoglobin wherein the doctor can trace your blood sugar level for the past three months and is more accurate compared to the FBS wherein it only traces blood sugar level during the actual time you fast. The glycosylated hemoglobin test kind of shows if a patient is good and stays within his diet regimen or if he cheats during the past months. it makes the patient sort of embarrassed because it let's the doctor know that he's not taking care of himself. Well, my dad is diabetic and I'm not telling this to him!!!! because he's hardheaded and doesn't take care of himself even if I give instructions or threaten him and so I want him to be embarrassed!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
