I love to sit and watch a movie in the evening, while enjoying a bowl of fresh fruit. Jay heads to the freezer and fills a bowl with ice cream, chocolate sauce and Spanish peanuts. He loves this treat!
That's fine for him, I don't miss doing that any longer. I'd much rather have a nice bowl of fresh strawberries, these even have stems attached!
Anyway, having a sugar issue, I had to change directions about ten years ago. Am I always self-disciplined? No, of course not because nobody is.

when it comes to our sugar levels, it's always a good thing to
be very smart of what we eat so we don't let our sugar get high
or too low, strawberries is a good thing to eat cause it's goof for
our Blood pressure & stress level, & it is the best fruit to eat.

Jay can't eat fresh fruit, his sensitive gums. He loves canned fruit!

@Marilynda1225 Jay isn't crazy about fresh fruit anyway. Canned? He loves it!

We bought blueberries two weeks in a row, they were wonderful! The raspberries were good, but a few of them went bad so I threw them away.

@kobesbuddy Don't know why, but I am not a fan of raspberries

I used to include three fruits every day. Now, I have only one, for a reason I don't understand.

Strawberrys are great for munching . I too love doing that especially while doing some mundane work or watching television.They are sweet and refreshing as well. Regarding self-discipline , my take is we need to be strict disciplinary person unless the sugar levels are too high. We should have fruits , vegetables and fibres and if our sugar levels are not too high once in a while indulging in sugary items is fine. In short, we should have a balance when we do that. Too much restriction or over thinking will make lose the control. Any case, enjoy the bowl of strawberries. Take care!

We made strawberry jam last summer. We have a lot leftover, so won't be making more this year.

It's great to hear you enjoy fruit, especially strawberries! They are delicious and packed with nutrients. Indulging in ice cream or other treats occasionally is perfectly normal and part of enjoying life. It's all about balance. A healthy diet can certainly include the occasional guilty pleasure without any guilt. Recognizing and enjoying these moments is important for a happy, balanced lifestyle.

This sounds weird, I don't actually enjoy ice cream. It's too sweet!
