Oh lord......what a weekend of munching and eating I have had. Hang my head in shame. Yesterday family BBQ with grandsons , their parents elder son and his new lady friend. The girlies shared a bottle of prosecco. Did not eat much but had toast and butter for tea.....too tired to cook. Threw the dips out this morning but ate the last olives /pringles for breakfast. Finished the potato salad and mayo for lunch, followed by 2/3 bottle of rosé not my fav but it was cold, and just eaten a pack of cookies a neighbour handed in after I told her about my brother. Kind of her don't know where she bought them from not great. Was going to have salmon for tea but that will keep for tomorrow.......B12 jab tomorrow at least it's not blood sugar and Dr is chasing me for BP result......... .....blame the heat!!!!!!!!

Based on everything you've had to handle in recent times, you've done really well, and the odd diversion from your usual ways isn't likely to do anything lasting.

From someone who lost their only sibling just before Christmas, you have my sincerest condolences and ask you to just be kind to yourself.
 
Sorry @EMcKT but I see nothing for you to be ashamed of.
As is often said here, you need to look after all of you not just the diabetes bit.
Associating eating with guilt can be a slippery slope that we need to avoid.
It sounds as if you had a good weekend and you already have salmon for tomorrow.
Life is for enjoying not for feeling guilt.
