I have been following a lchf way of eating for 3 years now, results ok but find it so difficult with my OH and family. I get very little support if any.
It took me years of being diabetic to persuade my OH not to buy me chocolates, - “You deserve the occasional treat!” Can’t really blame him, he’s indifferent to his own health. He is an overweight smoker who already has had one heart attack and not changed his ways. It doesn’t help when he eats crisps or chocolate in front of me. Also often end up cooking separate dinners.
I sometimes take my Mum out for a cup of tea, she has to have a piece of cake with it or an ice cream I sit drinking my black coffee while she says “It’s a shame you can’t have this, it’s lovely!” She’s 90 so I don’t really blame her.
Almost every Sunday I cook a roast with all the trimmings plus dessert for my family. I allow myself 1 piece of potato and an extra class of wine!
Never had any help or support from my doctors or nurse either.
Feel I am almost on my own and if it wasn’t for this forum would probably give up. So thanks guys.
