The last ray of colored light, my last delight has gone gray No more anticipation of forbidden gratification No more death in disguise wrapped in wrappers super-size. My future gray to a fault- ne’er again to see another malt And days of doughnuts, my friend, have come to an end Oh woe is me if I would only eat one of something sugar free and then be done… But no, it isn’t so and without I must do Now, my food has gone gray too LGR©5/2/15 |

I hope you stay with it. There are ways to eat healthy without sacrificing taste for the most part. Sweets now is another matter . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

The biggest problem I have with eating healthy is my main 2 food groups: cholesterol and carbohydrates...  ~L |

Spent Monday night in the hospital due to diabetes. I know about the never-ending pokes and prods. My hear goes out to you. I was a man of few vices, didn't smoke or do drugs at all when I was diagnosed. I felt it was a cruel curse implemented on me to take away one of the few things in life I allowed myself to indulge in... food. I know what you're going through. ((hugs)) to you. Michael |

Michael, my heart goes out to you! ((hugs)). I've taken my diabetes for granted and never gotten "sick" from it. Okay, a couple of times my numbers got a little low and I got woozie...No big deal. I've been very lucky.~L |

stay well gal and hang tough... I find it easier to stay away from the no-no's if you give 'em a nice long dirty look as you walk by  ~d Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Excellent idea! Mentally, forbidden food, has become just another cigarette to me as far as dealing with that "want it can't have it" feeling goes. The more I think about it, those cookies in that jar do hack me off. One nice long dirty look coming right up!~L |
