I know that it can be hard to accept it. For myself, I don't deny myself things. I think, a lot of times, people are taught that they have to do without; to deny themselves. This makes it very hard for people. I "allow" myself to eat whatever I want to eat. But I do test my blood sugar often, and I have a really good feel for what raises my blood sugar. Sometimes the time of day makes a difference, too. I do find that there are certain things I can eat (like, Green Monsters) that help to regulate my sugar all day long, and eliminate cravings for (things that I know will raise my blood sugar). While I don't deny myself any food (including real sugar), I do find myself steering clear of things that I know will raise my sugar. There are times that I know that my sugar will be high (because of something I've eaten), but I "allow" myself that, too, and just make better choices the next day. Personally, if I have a salad with a meal, it really helps to keep my sugar in check.<br /><br />The bottom line is, everyone's body works differently. It's important to find out what works (and what doesn't work) for you. It's also important to listen to your body. And, finally, it's important to forgive yourself.Angeliahttp://dreamsofcashmere.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371413966930554923.post-30340369267636717712014-02-03T06:26:36.819-05:002014-02-03T06:26:36.819-05:00Those watermelon socks are so cute!
