I'm hoping that makes me relatively normal. Even in martathons they have refreshment stations.

Nicky, Have you ever tried my tofu cocolate mousse> Easy adn lovely. Just whap up in the food processor 12-16 oz of silken tofu add 5-7 oz meltedd unsweetened chocolate (or a mixture of bking chocolate and moisten, heated sosoa powder in equivalent amounts)cocoaadn add whatever sweetener you like, splenda, aspartame , etc. to taste. It usually needs a gret deal of sweetener. chill and serve. Particualrly nice served with fresh rasberries. Wendy

I'm hoping that makes me relatively normal. > > -- > ~Donna A~ > http://diabetesandme.wordpress.com/ > http://www.thesewingdictionary.com Oh heck yeah, you're normal! :-) I'll confess, I gave into a f*^k it moment just one time. It was after a family reunion where I drank wine. I NEVER drink wine--and I found out why. Had a terrible hangover. Thought I would die--and still had company for a couple of days. The only thing that I thought would save me was a real grilled cheese sandwich. It did help. And I didn't test. Learned my lesson too. ;-) Now, the only times I get the urge to say the hell with it, is when I'm tired. I HATE being tired for this reason. So glad to hear you are feeling better, and that you faced your moment and it passed. Like the others have mentioned, I really like the foods I eat now, so much better than I what I was eating before. I eat something, enjoy it, and feel satisfied. When I was eating the usual amount of carbs, I never felt satisfied. You're doing very well, Donna! -- Best regards, Michelle C., T2 diet & exercise BMI 21.5 |
