Basically a slightly-adjusted version of the tuna & beetroot salads I used to live on back when I was an anorexic office worker in my 20s. There isn’t much I’m adding to meals for my new diabetes-motivated diet, it’s more just taking things out and shifting a few ingredients around.

I’m actually getting used to this whole new mindset, so my stress levels about it all seem to be decreasing.

I never used to add yoghurt to my salads, but I wish I could go back in time and instruct myself to. It works really well! The first time I tried it recently I only plopped on a bit, just in case it was a disaster. Now I keep adding more and more. The small amount you see in the picture above is just for appearances.

I hope you appreciate the amount of time I spend on presentation!

So, yes, that’s that. I nice crunchy lunch with a relatively low carbohydrate count. I hope. This one will be a regular, for definite. In fact, this was my second.

I’m halfway through my next Gamera post, so y’all have got that to look forward to. It’s just nice to be getting back on track with my lack of a social life.

Do stay in touch, darlings.

Toodles!
