Thank you.
As much as I need to loose weight, I really need to learn to eat 'better' or well compared to how I have been.
I think I may have been too strict in the past and have probably been too strict since Monday, hence picking on a what's left of the white chocolate as carefully as possible to get me through.
That said I really need to deal with what I'm eating as much as the weight due to being just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and being much heavier than I should be.
I've fortunately got an appointment with one of the nurses in my gp practice in the next few weeks, although I need to tread carefully as I've been struggling with disordered eating and therapy for it.

Him indoors has been put on some tablets that are supposed to suppress his appetite. The knock on effect is that as he's deciding that no potatoes are needed with dinner I'm now not eating potatoes. Generally he's feeling less likely to want anything starchy so I hope that's going to work for me as well.
