Bless you @chocolate5lover. Your moniker says it all. It could be mine too. Chocolate! Yum. But, diabetes----Boo! That's why I said I'll enjoy a treat for each meal, but like you, one small piece or slice. That's all I allow myself. I admire you being willing to exercise to compensate for the treat. I just don't exercise except for my chores around the house. However, I have been thinking about making the Mayo Clinic's 12 week exercise walking plan a goal. I have a food journal from the day I received a letter from my PCP telling me I was a diabetic, so I have all of the info I researched and what I had to teach myself to be my own dr. since she didn't know. I think an exercise journal would be good to go along with my food journal. I look for new recipes and allowable foods so that my blood numbers will stay in line. Thinking of anything yummy and sweet makes my mouth water. I am from GA, so I understand big portions. My mother always said, "Better to have more food, than not enough," so our meals were a full table. I love lemon pie, so I know it will be delicious. Enjoy.
