One of the guys brought these in today.
You have no idea how much it pained me to resist and not eat any.
The smell alone was heavenly.
In the past I would have wolfed my way through at least 4
How i mourn bygone days

Someone in work brought in birthday cupcakes on Tuesday and they're sat in the break room with a sign saying 'please help yourself'. So much effort not to help myself!

It's a killer isn't it. At work the other week there was a huge chocolate cake bought in for all the staff to share, it was torture looking at it all night long. In reality I could have taken insulin for it, but home made cake spikes me terribly and as I was working I couldn't chance it 🙄

This is my biggest bug bear at work too! It was jaffa cakes yesterday, a pack of mini daim bars, and some chocolate biscuits from M&S (my fave lol). Was very proud of myself for resisting lol. Well done for staying strong!

Look on the bright side Vince. If you were in the UK they could have been delicious fresh donuts filled with Tiptree jam and sparkling with sugar crystals...or chocolate eclairs oozing fresh whipped cream and smothered in thick chocolate icing...or wedges of Victoria sandwich filled with fluffy buttercream. See what you've done? All I can think of now is cake. 🙄

To give you a glimmer of hope...since losing weight and taking my BG in hand I can once again indulge in the occasional treat without ill effects. For example...I ate a 100g bar of Lindt liquer filled milk chocolate last week and my BG was 5.7 two hours later. With a bit of graft and a lot of luck you may find yourself in a similar situation. I do hope so.
