Catrin, I know what a struggle it is. We don't even watch "Cake Boss" anymore because it kicks off cravings. It's only been about four months, but he has dropped 30 pounds, goes to the gym & continues to eat properly. And really, the diabetic diet is quite healthy.
It sounds like your DH is doing great Dogmama! I remember when I started this journey 3 years ago. It seemed that all I had to do to drop one pound was to lift my arm once or twice - wish it was still that easy

Ice cream is still a weakness of mine, and I will eat it now but only in very small amounts (2-3 tablespoons up to no more than 1/2 cup - and only on days where I've exerted myself). I don't find my diet to be restrictive, but I am very used to it.
