I do portion control and walk after eating. I learned there are limits to what I can and cannot have.

I eat what I like but in sensible portions and at the right time of day then after I've washed I make sure I take my beloved Benji out for a good long brisk walk or take him to the beach for a good long walk weather permitting. My way means I can have sensible portions ofall the traditional "forbidden fruits" and my sugars won't rise to a dangerous level as Benji's long brisk walk will lower my sugars.

100% agree. I love junk food while watching movies or reading a good book. I'm so addicted to Pepsi I need a intervention lol
But I think it's ok just monitor your intake. My numbers are still good with the chips and dip.

I agree with you, Scooby. Certain foods I don't keep in my home even though I love them because they will be finished as soon as I get home.šŸ™‹
