I am fortunate enough to have good cholesterol levels so haven’t panicked too much about having cream, butter and cheese etc but I do sympathise with you as I get days where I seem to eat the same safe things over and over but I have found I enjoy things that I wouldn’t have eaten 5 months ago.Hopefully knowing that you are not alone, is a little bit of a help to you, I’m sure there are lots of people here who experience the same emotions and frustrations, we are all human and on bad days we need to take a deep breath, smile and find the strength to try to not give in, I like to think that at those moments I’m superhuman</blockquote>
