Terrific! 🙂
 
Brilliant - a really good bonus!
 
Thanks Northener and Runner:D. Weigh two pounds more than last week BUT think my weight was artificially low last week due to poorly tummy. The positives are that I've kept to my Weightwatchers points all week and I weigh three pounds less than I did two weeks' ago. Think I might find the next week tougher because I have found it hard to keep to my WW points but I will persevere.....the only thing that really annoys me is having to have Lucozade for hypos😱 but I will just have to be good and build this into my WW points:D
 
You are doing really well AJ - just stick at it. You will get there - I know you.
 
Yes, it is tough and you're doing so well. Just keep focussing on the long-term benefits of what you're doing. Can anyone (DSN?) help you with insulin adjustments to prevent hypos?
 
Thanks Runner unfortunately I've found that DSNs don't know what to do about insulin adjustments for me because I have gastroparesis which causes erratic blood sugars..They don't follow a pattern and can go too high or too low very easily, fortunately doing lots of blood tests helps me to minimise the effects of the majority of hypos but I just get annoyed when I do need Lucozade especially when I'm trying to lose weight. But c'est la vie I'm not going to let that stop me losing my four stone

Thank you Lucy for having faith in me
 
ooh I've been naughty.....went out for dinner last night and had three course, not hardly any carbs in the first two relatively small courses but it did take 14 hours, and three humalog jabs, to get the BGs back under control because of the haste paresis......and I did also drink three glasses of wine 😱Until this meal I had been brilliant with my WW points but I've just been naughty again and sat in the garden enjoying a lovely choc ice lolly whilst enjoying the sun and I'm craving more!!!! Will I get back on the wagon????????????
 
(WW Gold Member speaking... )

Remember that on WW you treat, you don't sin! No such thing as 'naughty'. Treats are what your weekly allowance is for, and you don't have to use them at 7 a day.

I am having a bit of trouble this week: the fibro flares always makes me crave extra carbs, and keeping out of the bread bin is haaaaard! And pain keeps me awake, so I get the late-night nibbles. I'd nom the leg off the cat if he kept still long enough! 😛

I keep carrots and stuff in the fridge and gnaw on those. Slice them up and eat them like crisps. Strawberries are both pointless on WW and a 'free' fruit for type 1, so have a few of them about for treats. I make red fruit salad: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, a few red grapes... Zero WW propoints and low on the Type 1 scale. And a big bowl fills you up nicely. Dunno how fruit behaves with the HP, though. And if it's cold, WW zero point soups are good.

Do you use WW E-Source? I've found some excellent recipes and advice there.

I like to treat myself with fabric and sewing stuff when I reach a goal: 10%, or whatever is worth a dress length! Specially if I can find some nice silk or linen on the market! I think your clothes idea is excellent. Good luck on your downward slide! :D
