۝ The greatest thing about a fantasy


So, i was almost....almost... Diabetic. i mean my blood sugar count was so close to being considered diabetic. But i can't help it, sweets keep me alive when i need to stay up late for school stuff and it livens me up when i'm depressed. It overall helps me be as positive as i could be.

Any idea how to counter all the sweet intake?
I drink a lot of water after a sweet snack but i'm not sure if water will help me in the long run. @_@

I know it's difficult but I try to limit my sweets intake everyday. I used to eat a ton of sweets myself and I know my doctor told me I could get in trouble with that in the future and become diabetic. Honestly now, I've come to like more bitter things. I'd say try to eat more bitter foods. The more you do it, the more you'll come to like them.

Hm... i'll try to find more bitter stuff to replace some of my sweet intake. Thank you. :]

Haha. I know the feeling. I have a stash of chocolate m&ms to quell the cravings at night when i'm just chillin at the laptop or working on projects pass midnight. The sugar helps me stay awake to finish up homework and stuff.

Yea, fruits are a healthy alternative. But most fruits that are easy access in the area i live are bananas, watermelon, and pineapple. Those 3 are never out of season. But, i'm partly allergic to pineapple... :[ so, i'm left with bananas and watermelon. although watermelon is okay... too much bananas give me constipation. @_@ especially when i have low water capacity (get bloated easily from water). Banana has a lot of fiber which is good for bowel movement but... without enough water.... will harden the stools instead. @_@ And that's what happens to me.... so i only take about 1-2 bananas a day depending on my water intake. Lol.

Other fruits are expensive since we buy them at the grocery instead of fruit stalls.

I love cucumber though. >< I could eat them all day if i could. Strawberries, melon and pomelo. Love love love them.

NIce! I'm craving fruit now. XDDDD Thanks.

I would train your mind to go against them. Tell yourself you can do without them. You would rather have something healthier. Affirm in your mind that your life is better without them several times a day.

What about blueberries?

Different...Very.

۝ The greatest thing about a fantasy


Hm, you have a point. That could work. Takes time and practice but it's plausible. I mean, when i used to stock chocolates in my drawer beside my work table... i rarely crave, cause i keep thinking... it's just there and i can take one anytime, then i ended up not touching them for about a month. Lol. :3

Blueberries barely grow where i live, but grapes are definitely the best alternative. Pricey but worth it. :3
