Well, since I eat really really healthy, and only allow indulgences here and their. Tonight, my Men, my hubby and my son....wanted KFC, first, the two times I tried KFC on the pump, i had yucky results,(but since have learned better how to deal with that kind of food). Second, i ate like **** during the holidays, and between, a chest infection, weather wacking, stubborn sites, sites gone bad, and some or I have been a tad more off with my numbers....I am like nope, I don't want it at all. Third KFC, and Bonjangles give me the worst heart burn...

So I just bought them some, and came home....My husband is like why didn't you get any, I am like cause I don't want any, HE is like why didn't you stop anywhere else....CAUSE I REALLY DON"T WANT TOO.....I mean I can see if I was anti, everyone else eating whatever, or, or like some people that don't like if everyone gets to eat normal and they don't(I don't work that way). But I really didn't care, and he makes a big deal about it, just like when he wanted Sonic the day after Thanksgiving and i didn't want too, I got off work, my bg's finally looking really good, all I wanted to do was eat a bowl of oatmeal, and he got all mad, cause I didn't want Sonic, even though I said I would go, and all, just won't eat nothing....Why is this bothering him? If it aint' bothering me, and I don't whine and complain....why am I harrassed....I don't push nothing on anyone.....it's their body, their life, their choices.....so why does it seem to bother people....

I want to eat healthy, I feel better, I am just not in the mood for all that **** food, especially reading on this and the other forum how everyone is catching flu's and horrible colds, and what not, I'd rather not weaken my body, no more this time of year.....It so is not worth it LOL......I really feel the way I eat, keeps me healthy and not get really sick, I catch small things, but i don't get deathly ill, KNOCK ON WOOD.........But anyway.....oyyy....LOL...

But I am amazed how people really have issue's with food, and the only food, I may want to indulge in is homemade cooking.......going out to eat I could care less.....anymore....I don't even care what I eat, As long as it is healthy, I am just not caring about food, the more I am sticking with what I am doing the easier it is becoming to just say NO, who cares....not worth it, OH well, I'll probably live longer then you LOL.....just kidding but I think that sometimes too, when I get looks everytime I tell someone at work, NO when they go for a breakfast or lunch run somwhere.....ahhhh who needs it ....

I am with you on eating homemade healthy food. Before I was diagnosed I used to eat a lot of fast food. Now I have no taste for it. I make all of my food at home. Remember we should eat to live, not live to eat.

I'd rather fix stuff at home instead of eatting out too.. I never feel good after eatting out, just makes me feel blah. I dont go out drinking for the same reasons. I can eat something at a place thats just the same as what I cook at home, the only difference is what it does to my BG.. Anything I eat while out makes my BG go haywire, so I avoid it if I can..

My friends always bug me to go out to eat with them, sometimes I'll tag along but wont eat anything.. When I do get something I get the " should you be eatting that? " lecture. I've been out with them a few times and they'll get ice cream or something, while I chew on a straw. Never fails, they always look at me and tell me I cant have any or will tell the waitress that I cant. So anymore I turn them down when it comes to eatting out, I dont need to put up with that stuff. I eat by myself as well, odd how something as "stupid" as that can play with your mind. I do like eatting at Subway though, doesnt bother me, when I suggest that they look at ya with that "YUK" face..

I've never understood why people have this thing with food.. I dont pay any attension to what other people eat, when they eat or whatever.. Kinda odd..

Yea, but I still love going to breakfast at Waffle house once a month, and eating egg omelet with cheese and hashrounds.......and a piece of toast, but funny thing is that gives me heartburn now too errrrrrrrrrr LOL.........OH well.......Plus in the south, I don't really care for lunch and dinner things.....I love southern breakfast though, thank goodness, we can never get around to doing that a lot or ever....hubby is not a morning person.....LOL......

I have a non-diabetic friend (they're not bad people) who is an excellent cook, since I was diagnosed he always makes sure to have things that I will eat. He doesn't like buying take away food as he feels he can make something nicer in the same time it takes for the Chinese to be delivered.

Anyhow on Christmas Eve, while he was preparing the Ham for Christmas day, his wife and two daughters ordered chinese, which he did not eat and within hours all 3 of them were ill, so much so that they could not eat anything on Christmas day until 8pm. All the while he was happily snacking with a smug grin on his face!
