You are too funny! I just figured since I'm really not a good cook anyway and there weren't any "sweet" things (except, maybe me! HA! ), that I'd do up my recipe for "Fanny Mae Fudge"!

 

well i am (as you will see sat.) not the type of guy to say no to sweets!!!LOL

 

Hey this crap isn't fair! you guys keep talking about sweets and the like and I can't have them. This just isn't right I just found out in Jan. that I am diabetic.

 

damn sucks to be you!!! IM sorry that was rude bud! I do have to watch it somewhat myself!! long history of high blood pressure and diabeties in my fam as well!! all though the high blood pressure thing is from growin up in an italian hosuehold everyone yellin and wavin their arms around!!!LOL

 

Father, I'm right there with ya.Becouse of stomach problems I have to stay away from anything with caffine, so chocolate is out the window. Also had to give up soda becouse of the caffine and carbonaiton, and tea. I have to admit soda was easy, but chocolate is very very difficult to quit. Yes I do cheat on the chocolate once in a while.

 

We're both diabetic here too! I cheat once in a while too! It's what keeps me going! (Plus, my diatician said if you get the craving, you might as well give in or else you end up gorging yourself!) And if I'm makin' Fanny Mae, I'll be havin' me some. That'll tide me over until Christmas!!

 

The only good thing about the diabetic thing for me is I was up to about 210 and when I stopped drinking the soda and the sweets went out the window I dropped 35 pounds. The wife told me to bite her! I eat all the time and lose weight. I think it is because I am always on the go at my job and at home! The sugar-free stuff that is out there now is real good and not much on the fattening stuff!!!!!!!

 

210 holy cow bud thats like 1 leg for me!! LOL maybe i should check out this diabetic thing a lil closer maybe i am!!!?? (should be)!
