Hi everyone
I’m loving reading everyone’s posts and sorry that I don’t always reply.
I know this is the right place for me. It’s so good to finally have an explanation for my eating behaviour (and behaviour). Some ups and downs for me lately. On Friday I ate a piece of birthday cake (I’m on step 6 after about 15 months here). I loved it in the moment and felt terrible afterwards, disconnected, jittery, and my BS crashed. But on Saturday evening, out with friends, everyone had chocbrownie for pudding and I ordered a side salad! a green salad, with avocado and seeds, delicious! Thanks mosaic for the idea!And yesterday, at a family gathering with non sugar sensitives, I took fresh fruit, said I hope you don’t mind if I put this on the table, and ate it instead of desert I think my mother in law found that difficult, she is definitely not sugar sensitive and I’m not sure quite what she was thinking, but I felt that I looked after myself. For years I’ve eaten her cakes and desserts when I haven’t wanted to and have felt really angry with myself afterwards. I’ve now realised that I need to take an alternative every time, and nor rely on anyone else as they just don’t get how important it is for me.
Small steps but they feel really important.
