How about a kiss on the cheek instead, Ahmad, to say you are worth taking better care of yourself. There are people in your life, I'm sure, who need you there and healthy much more than you need chocolate.

One suggestion I would make is to stop thinking about eating those things as "naughty". That is a word that implies mischevous, kind of bad but cute at the same time. There is nothing cute to diabetes complications. It also implies those things are forbidden and therefore more desirable. Carbs and sugar are highly addictive, when you cut down on them you will no longer crave them. My guess is you look at "good" food as boring and tasteless. I, for one, love to cook and eat gourmet foods. That has not changed with my diagnosis. It does take a bit more effort to find things you truly love to eat that are also blood sugar friendly. Then you will think less of those other foods. I haven't eaten sugar in 15 years and when I lived in Guatemala (where everyone loves their sugar) once or twice I forgot to say "sin azucar" (without sugar). When I took a sip of my drink I found it disgusting!

Hang in there, guy, and we're glad to see you back!

No kisses please... am a too shy guy!! prefer a punch!!! ya I grew up in a family that don't hug or kiss, just shake hands. However now I love to been hugged, which is hard to find for a 28 years old! Well my 3.5 years daughter she do lots of hugs to me!!
I don't like Sugar at all in drinks (tea, coffee, juices...) but will not mind it in a cake or a chocolate format!

I will be fine thx for the support, I just need someone to punish me! I wish if I had a close friend that knows diabetes well who can do the punching thing for real...! Anyone interested?

Welcome back ...... It's a good thing that you know you need to take control. I know its hard as I am a chocoholic, so I treat myself now and then so I don't feel deprived. Ahmad, you have the strongest incentive to keep you on track ..... your daughter. Look at her and you realize you want to be here for her. Eyesight intact so you can watch her grow up. She needs YOU, so you need to take care of yourself. We all fall off the sugar wagon but its time to get back on and start again. I'll say a prayer for you that you find what you need to get thru this. Stay strong !!

Al,

Nice to see you posting again.

The next time you decide to pour a bowl of cereal w/ chocolate bars to follow and your blood sugars are at 250mg/dl. Do me a favor, okay? Please pause and look (with your eyes) at your feet. Be thankful you have your eye sight and feet right now my friend.

It's not a "punch to the face" but a chop to the feet and a poke at your eyes ;)

Consider yourself punched. Slapped and kicked, too.

Hey Al: :)

Sorry, I don't punch or "SMACK" People like Robyn does. =)

However, I could tie you up for a week and tease you with smaller portions of healthy, yummy foods but not give you any. By the time I'm finished with you, you'll have lost some weight and you will be Very Happy to eat properly.

You have just been hypnotised. You will eat Healthy foods only.

Please behave AL. We don't want anything Bad to happen to you.

I just noticed your last post. Good Man!!
