Two things: You appear to be slim but it is still worth noting that people with diabetes have a tendency to never leave food on a plate. Second thing: It may be a good strategy for you to be very careful about what you dish out for yourself. Make a rule lie No Seconds until all the food is gone and you have waited ten minutes for it to settle.
Third thing: Do you know where I can get more mincemeat?
When I dish out the portions for myself, it is fine, I dish out a good amount to make me comfortably full, most of the time anyway. It's when I go out to restaurants, go to takeaways, or if someone cooks for me I end up with too much food and end up eating it all lol. I am slim but I never used to be, in fact I used to be very much overweight, so I got to start being a bit more careful.
I'm not surprised you've eaten the whole jar, mincemeat is very addictive. Mince pie scoffing is another thing I am going to become a "victim" to over the coming couple of months lol
