Oh, JanRN, I agree with SC. Please don't beat yourself up. We learn from each situation. Sounds like you grabbed what you could find that didn't take any preparation. I am really bad about that. I'm trying to remember to keep lots of yogurt handy for those times. If you can, try to plan ahead and have things like fruit (even canned - not much preparation there), sugar free Jello (a little preparation, but put a dollop of whipped cream on top and you have something yummy), almonds or other unsalted nuts (a handful at a time)--things that are immediately available. I bet this will help. I had yogurt instead of ice cream last night. I'm certainly NOT bragging here--just a point that when I was getting ready to go to bed, I was thinking, "I didn't do too badly today except for the ice cream." Then, I realized, I had NOT had the ice cream! I had the yogurt. It was a good feeling, and I bet you will find little ways to make a big difference for you. We will learn as we go and we won't get it perfect, but we will keep working on it and helping each other along the way. :-) BTW, NO articles of clothing on my fridge door either--although I'm guessing that would help. Too funny!
