I think I have a neck longer than an ostrich. Honestly I still can’t get my head round this. A couple of weeks ago i though I had sussed it but have fallen off rails big time. After feeling like rubbish again have realised this isn’t going away without action. So here I am again. Am going to look back over my previous posts and start over and try and make these long term changes.
I buried my head so much I can’t find the monitor I’ve only had 6 weeks so have ordered a new one.
Has it taken anyone else a few attempts to start to crack this? Feeling like a complete failure, firstly because I have it and secondly that I can’t deal with it x
Nikkie - I often refer to the forum as having a revolving door, because lots of peoplr find themselves needing to come back and back, when the bumps in the road knock them off-track.
My suggestion a this point would be to try to make things nice and simple and decide on a week, or maybe 2 weeks worrth of meals and write them down. One of the things I found, at the outset, was that I would be fed up of making food choices, because nothing was on auto-pilot.
My OH is the cook in this house, and he'd ask each day, "what's for dinner", and sometimes it just felt like too much to choose. With a bit of a list, at least it's easy to go to that and choose from there.
On a routine basis, we tend to plan meal for the week. I don't mean we plan it, and have x to eat on Monday, y on Tuesday and so on. It's more we decide on 7 dinners. Breakfast is usually the same or similar for us, then lunch, whe we have it, is a light salad for me and a sarnie for my OH, with dinner our main meal. We just mean we have 7 dinners planned, and by the end of the week, we'll have had those 7 meals. It makes shopping much simpler too.
One final thing is, if we do, say a casserole, we might have that on Monday and Wednesday or Thursday, to use up the leftovers.
It gets simpler over time, honestly.
Back on the horse.
