LOD: Micheline Lincoln Designs - 17Feb_LowCarbZeroSugar

Description
I really love Micheline's designs, they are such fun to work with and again, another designer that makes kits that are super interchangeable.
Perkaholic is my fave, it's so bright and graphic!

I chose to create a layout that celebrates my new love of cake that is low carb, zero sugar.. I am not crazy, just pre-diabetic. Here is my journaling:
Thanks to my genetics I am pre-diabetic. Prior to the pandemic I was managing it pretty well with diet and exercise, then I used the pandemic as an excuse to go on a cake festival (I LOVE CAKE). At the start of Jan 2021 I got a serious telling off by my Endocrinologist and so now I am back to 1 carb a day and zero sugar. The cake shown here has 2g of carb and zero sugar and actually tastes like cake. Yay!

I used -
Rachel Jefferies - Stay Close Template Duo
MLD - Perkaholic, Olivia and some elements from the A Better Tomorrow collab (which I also LOVE)

Oh wow, this is gorgeous! I love the selfie and I love splash of colors. I love the title and the story, not the diabetic part but that you've found a cake you can eat without attacking your body! I love all your layers as well.
 
@Saar thank you so much. I have resolved my annoyance at the pre-diabetic thing, by finding yummy good for me things and low carbs and no sugar means a big weight change!!
 
I love the selfie and I am glad you have found a cake sugar free and low carb, but I am more glad you have started a new more healthier diet, and habits, you got this!
 
What? No sugar??? But a change is weight is worth it I'm sure. What a year 2020 was...and 2021 ain't starting any better. I hope you keeping making these inspirational layouts...encourages me to do better!
 
Thanks @Cherylndesigns @ArmyGrl for your lovely comments. I HATE the loss of sugar, but hubby and I have been planning the 'next phase' of our lives for a while and if we don't do better, will we be around to enjoy all our hard work? I have to take being pre-diabetic seriously. AND fortunately Hubby is the best cook ever and has adapted our diet amazingly!
