I totally and utterly understand what you mean.
My husband is a carb addict. I tested his BG many times, thinking I'd teach him a lesson but he's never over 6 (108)... and most of the time he hovers between 4.5 and 5.5 (81 and 99)!
Not that I wish he'd become a diabetic. No! I wish we could eradicate this stupid disease from the planet completely. It would help greatly though if all these high carb foods wouldn't be in the house in the first place... and it would help if he ate what I eat. A meal isn't one if there are no potatoes, no bread, or no rice. And he needs his
'sugar fix' so I still bake. Last week I baked cookies. Mind you, I love baking. I love cooking too.
I fell off the wagon so many times I guess I've spent more time on my Canadian bacon than in the actual wagon...!! :rofl:
I've been in denial most of the time. And I've been in denial about being in denial too!
I never really took the time to
mourn the fact I shall never be able to eat whatever foods I like. This is what I'm working on at the moment. I'm in mourning! :rip:
I'm low carbing at the moment and it's going great. I have great results. The first week I wanted to strangle anything that has a pulse (and especially my husband!

) but now the
dragon mood has gone. I feel great. I found out carbs are extremely addictive. The more you have, the more you want. When low carbing, I don't even need a snack to take me to the next meal.
But what is also addictive is how low carbing makes you feel!

You don't want to go back to feeling sluggish, feeling tired, being in a bad mood all the time.
Another thing which helped greatly in my falling off the wagon : not testing. It's true what they say :
Out of sight, out of mind. If I have the numbers right under my big nose, I tend to be a lot more careful.
Support is also vital. Here you will find all the support you need.
The very best to you!
