Um....2 is the lie...cos it was in some other sport...

G'day @Mac#23 and welcome. Biggest tip I have to offer any newbie is to just take it one day at a time...only focus on a single day...being 4 days in you know you can do 24 hours, you have already done it 3 times. Oh and don't worry about what others are doing with their quit, every quit us different so just do you.

^ need a worried face. meanwhile.... I'm thinking of @Boo cos he's the only person I know in Tennessee...and this might explain why he follows the Braves which are in a completely different state...

@jillar is that for your safety?

Next yule be tellin me ya went for a bit of exercise down ya local beach.....pining for the crash of waves and brine. Me...getting triggered by morons on the news who ignored facts and then claimed they weren't told...an all 7 members of the Aussie high court....Shame, shame, shame.

Confessing I don't do fennel...that slight aniseed taste it has is not to my liking.

Almonds are great for diabetics and an appetite suppressant. Avocado falls into that category too. So does ginger and cinnamon. Apples do but they are high in sucrose so not really that good for diabetics. Green tea, with some ginger and cinnamon is a good option. You can slice strawberries in a water jug overnight and then the water will have a strawberry hint, hardly any sugar... you can add mint leaves too. Most green leafy vegetables are appetite suppressants, not as good as walnuts and almonds though... just be careful though as often these are high in sugars. Dark chocolate (preferably bitter) is both low in sugar and also an appetite suppressant. Patchouli oil is supposed to suppress your appetite if you burn it or rub it on your pulse points. Onions have more sugar than most fruit... often diabetics think they have had a nice healthy meal and the BSL will be high because of onion. My mum is diabetic. She always has almonds and walnuts to snack on.

^^ What she said @reciprocity

^^^^ OMG OMG OMG OMG ..... welcome back piggy. -4

Don't you have $1600 fines for more than 2?

-1...would ya look at iso bringing all the oldies outta the woodwork.

Isn't it anything more than 2 is a crowd?

If everyone maintains the correct social distance is a crowd ok?

1 is the lie...cos, I dunno, I'm just guessing.

Iso & Quarry are kinda here to stay I reckon. My brother and his mates have their kids running an iso Olympics. So the poor supermarket workers are copping a fair wake of verbal so they are a but fragile at the moment....last time I was down the shops the checkout chick burst into tears when the old bloke in front of me said "Thanks darl" as he left. Now here I am thinking it was happy tears cos someone was nice to her...yeah nah it was a language/cultural/accent issue. Being me I ask her if she's alright. She says it's too much she is sick of everyone being racist to her all the time. (Huh??)...yes all the time men and women are being racist to her and calling her "Darl"....huh?, How the fruck is calling someone darling (darl) racist...I do it all the frickin time...so I tell her 'i don't think they mean to be racist, they are just saying thank you'...."but just because I am indian why do they have to call me Darl"....an then I jerried....when an aussie says Darl it sounds like Dahl....so trying not to laugh I say....'yeah-nah they aren't calling you Dahl....they are calling you darrrrl...short for Darling...if they wanted to be racists an nasty they'd call you curry muncher. Girls and boys will both say it to you...sometimes ladies will say thanks love or thanks sweetie too. It's just that we don't say r properly." An yep as I walked off...thanks Darl. But at least she smiled this time.

Yes 3 is the lie..... 1 I did tell the son in law that my daughter was his expense now. 2 I did have a pizza button on my phone. 3 I was not a domestic ice hockey ref but I was a softball blue. Your up @jillar...give us ya 123

Aren't crowds banned at the moment?

Walnuts are a good snack and also an appetite suppressant. Black chai tea without sugar is a good appetite suppressant & it boosts your metabolism. Strawberries and blueberries are the best fruit for diabetics....and strawberries are an appetite suppressant. You can do this. No reason not to have a cuppa tea or coffee in the morning.

Laurel.... Although if you look at Boo's first post that was me except instead of watching a Laurel and Hardy skit I watched Abbott n Costello's who's on first...cos I remembered Laurel and Hardy shit me to tears.

I have been watching the Hemsworth Iso exercises videos...and I don't even break a sweat .

Ok...you can grate some beetroots and carrots to make a coleslaw. It's yummy. You could boil or roast them as you would a spud. Roast beetroots should be eaten hot...but boiled ones see nice cold, and you can use them in lots of salads.

Oh...raw beetroot grated, pommegranite seeds, baby spinach, radicio, mesclan leaves, thin sliced Spanish onion, feta, sliced pear....drizzle of macadamia nut oil and a squiz of lemon or lime juice.

I use it heaps....sliced and pickled in salads, on sandwiches or burgers. Greater raw into a coleslaw salad (I'll often do this with a Vietnamese dressing and not a cream/mayo type dressing. Boiled, cut into chunks and cooled into a salad with baby spinach leaves, crumbled feta or goats cheese, walnuts and onion and if ya hzve email figs. I have a recipe for beetroot chocate cake. Or you can just roast them, with some carrots and spuds and pumpkin. Ok roasted chunks of beetroot and pumpkin tossed in some curry powder (Shearman mix) or cummin roasting with some toasted pine nuts or cashews or almond slithers with rice or couscous or chickpeas or Dahl. I have a good recipe for chocolate beetroot cake I'll hunt out for ya.

Oh now I want leak and tayta soup....oh an some nice roasted beetroot....mmmmm beetroot, cos ya know ya can't beat a root. Pallet pagola furnisher is awesome.

Mate....let's aim to make this the final push....no more NRT yeah? So chewing normal gum will help with appetite issue...most gum now is sugar free do diabetic friendly. Healthy snacking option that is good..celery sticks. Also good option is to suck on sugar free lollipops. I know it's hard to do that final step and give up the NRT...cos I've done it...but you can do this mate.
