When I don't have my medicine, test strips, glucometer, whatever. I use it as an excuse to eat terrible. Because my sugar will be high anyway, might as well eat a piece of cake. Or two....
Because the sugar doesn't count if I don't know how high it's making my blood sugar. Not to mention the fat and calories. Right? Right?
How do you guys rationalize sabotage away?
I don't blame you. Being diabetic would be hard. I am addicted to sugar. Dang, that cake looks good. Can you tell that I am dieting?
ReplyDeleteThe same way you do. I'm not diabetic, but that's how I rationalize "cheating" on my diet. "I'm going to eat something that's not allowed, might as well do it BIG".
ReplyDeleteI'm trying really hard to get out of that mentality. It's not easy.
That cake looks divine and hell, if your bloodsugar is going to be high anyway - I say why not!
ReplyDeleteI'm fighting the rationalizations right now. My current mantra; "I do not need a cigarette, I need a baby." Day 2 of it working.
ReplyDeleteSometimes even when I know I shouldn't eat it because of the sugar, I do. That cake looks SOO good!
ReplyDeleteAs I sit here eating my weight in guacamole I tell myself it's good for me...it has avacodoes.
