What snack would you eat right now?

The heading translates as “Snacks are bad avoid them”. right now I would love a nice big feed of Kentucky Fried chicken, or if that was not available a Big Mac, or if that was not available baby from Red Rooster, or if that was not available on a couple of big whoppers from Hungry Jacks.

The thing is – I cannot!

I would love to – but I can’t!!

I’ve just been diagnosed with diabetes level two. Part of that is because I have led a more sedentary lifestyle since retirement that has put the weight on me.

I am in the process of being treated for diabetes and am reliably informed that the medication will be pretty well needed for the rest of my life. At the same time, I have cut back on everything sweet, including biscuits, lollies, and so on. I am allowing myself one ice cream a day.

Interestingly it hasn’t been so hard to resist the sweet things and the snacks because I’m motivated to overcome the challenges confronting me.

So the snacking would be lovely. But it cannot be a part of my dietary reality.
