And you know what'...I'm so bad with the candy too.<br /><br />And you know what's REALLY bad? I don't even have to like the candy - I'll sit there and destroy a whole bowl, or bag, or whatever, of some candy that <i>I don't even like</i> - just because it's candy.<br /><br />How sick is that? <br /><br />I think it is something psychological stemming from the "olden days" of diabetes where we were told we couldn't eat that stuff.<br /><br />So I'd walk to the store around the block and buy some candy, making sure to eat it and dispose of the wrapper before I got back home.<br /><br />And man, you have my mouth watering with all this talk of Reese's Peanut Butter cups and Laffy Taffy's. Man o man o man.<br /><br />And what is it with all of the office candy!? Are they feeling lonely? Do they need to bribe people into visiting them?<br /><br />It doesn't work. I wait for them to walk away, then I go and hoard a big handful. Sigh.Scott K.

What is restraint? Why do you think I buy single serving treats? Because no matter what size of treat I buy, it is ALWAYS a single serving, be it 1 cookie or 24!<br /><br />My problem is ANY candy, ANYTHING sweet. I can control what I put in my kitchen which controls what I snack on when I am at home, but work is a whole different ballgame! My work is a plethora of cakes, candies, chips dip n salsa, brought in by EVERYONE. Everyone at my work eats like pigs, or at least wants everyone ELSE to eat like pigs!<br /><br />I have not tried quinoa pasta, but I do eat quite a bit of quinoa (just the grain). I couldn't find the Ezekiel 4:9 pasta (I'm gonna have to call Byerly!!!) this week so I bought this stuff called Lifestream organic whole grain and flax pasta. It has added flax protein and serving size 2oz had 26g carb and 8 of those grams are fiber. That sounds pretty impressive to me and may be comparable as far as sugar results to the Ezekiel 4:9. I'll post what happens with my sugars once I eat it! You should post a picture of the quinoa pasta you bought and carb/fiber stats, I'd be interested! I've also heard good things from type 2 diabetics about dreamfields pasta...But I haven't tried that!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841767505240383644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536178837256094246.post-756766033538334622006-09-26T18:53:00.000-07:002006-09-26T18:53:00.000-07:00Sarah,

Speaking of Byerly's, we have a lady who buys their expensive, foil-wrapped chocolate pieces and I can't keep my hands off of them. I think they're at least 80 calories a piece and who can eat just one?<br /><br />One thing about chocolate is that because of the fat it's absorbed slowly and for me doesn't cause much of a bg rise (if eaten in small to moderate amounts....tee hee).<br /><br />My problem is Twizzler's red licorice bites - just a handful of those little buggers will send me sky high. They are the perfect thing for me to treat a hypo with, except I have no restraint. Once when my car was stolen I ate an entire giant-sized bag and was way into the 400's for several hours. Sort of scary.<br /><br />Have you ever tried quinoa pasta? I was looking for the Ezekiel brand today at Trader Joe's today (which is just down the street from the Park Nicollet clinic where you'll be going) and the only non-traditional stuff they had was quinoa.Minnesota Nicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170043587010711783noreply@blogger.com
