I think we've all had phases where the high carb world calls us back, myself included. It could be stress, it could be eating low carb treats that are triggers for me, it could just be the siren call of that killer fudge brownie in the bakery case. But for me, it's not long or too many "cheats" before my blood sugar meeter is saying, "Girl, you need to get a grip on yourself!".
Maybe some would see being diabetic and having to test your blood sugar all the time as a pain in the a**, but for me it's my reality check.
We all have to decide what's more important to us..being healthy or having that treat, eating right or eating conveniently. Sometimes one is more important or necessary than the other but I know for myself I always make time for the things that are important to me. Finding the motivation and the inner strength to DO what's important to me in the face of obstacles...that's another battle all its own.
