Great essay Ginger! And the thing about falling off the wagon is that when you get back on, you are usually more committed. One of the many challenges of diabetes is all that self-blame, everything is our responsibility, our fault if we eat too much, don't give enough insulin, forget to do a shot or take a day off from exercise, who else is there to blame but ourselves.
That's why I'm a big believer in not beating yourself up when you do fall off the wagon. It happens to us all, just pick yourself up and get back on!
