Clamber up here in the wagon, we'll all help you hang on!
It's not fun falling off, but the important thing is you want back on again, posting here proves that. I find that my family, the forum and my meter keep me motivated. And, believe or not having the odd slip also motivates me, it reminds me that I'm human and that I will slip, just last weekend I had a bad time on Sunday night and Monday, I just wanted a day off being diabetic, I wanted to eat what I used to eat. I should have switched on the PC and logged on, but I just wanted a day off.
I was sitting there, my daughter was munching a lovely looking hotdog on a soft roll, mayo, ketchup yum, my wife was enjoying some chocolate. This normally would not bother me, but for some reason it was really getting to me. Even though I got really close to giving in,I even had a take away menu in my hand ready to order, something stopped me, I don't know what, I left the room (there may have been a few curses from me at this point
) and lay on the bed watching TV, had a nap, came back, had a mini-pitta with cheese, frankfurter, onion and mayo, it was a Dave hotdog, followed by a small chocolate bar, not as nice as what my daugther ate, but I felt proud of myself for resisting going the whole hog.
You can do it, you are back with us and we will help you!
