For some reason John Lewis decided to send me a voucher for a free drink and piece of cake. I hung about with it for a while. Having not dropped off the wagon.But today I thought s** it. I had a coffee and chose the carrot cake (actually b4 all this diabetes stuff i didn't really like cake). I decided to eat only half. I cut it in half and took my first bite. God it was awful so dry i could have used it to cement the drive. The good lord (in whom I have no belief) strikes again. I miserably finished my half of.the cake (obviously even though it was horrible I couldn't possibly leave it. Oh no). I am now going to take a long walk to remove any traces of the vile cake.Just wanted to share the experience.
 
The body works in funny ways! Today at work one of the girls brought in Krispy Kreme doughnuts, I decided to have a treat and have half of one, it was awful was only about 5 bites but it was so sweet and sickly I won’t be rushing back for more
 
Nothing worse than a bad cake (or anything other treat that you’ve built yourself up for).

The question for me is whether or not whatever it is will be ‘bolus worthy’. Which is a great phrase I picked up from a US blogger years ago.

My wife used to bake a delicious carrot & ginger cake. I never had more than one slice a day but oh do I miss it. She baked one the other day to take into the office. Smelled lovely.

Not fallen off the wagon once since diagnosis but seven months on I am starting to miss things, eg Pukka pies, Magnums, bananas even. It would be so easy to say 'oh, once won't matter' but I'd rather miss them than a limb or my sight.

I fell off the wagon last week while I was on holiday in Dorset, first time I have had a real sweet treat in over 8 months since being diagnosed. I had a nice big bit of Dorset Apple cake and it was scrummy, I almost felt a bit guilty afterwards but only a little bit.
Lost 6 stone now since February so felt I deserved it.
