[QUOTE="5Terry, post: 2731628, member: 554687"] [CENTER][B][U] [/U][/B][/CENTER] I am posting this out of frustration with my situation regarding my diabetes. I am in a situation that I do not have any support network as I live on my own, and I don’t have the space for a freezer. I have joined the local “Freshwell Group” and they meet twice a month for a chat and a catch up. My biggest problem is I have got to a point where I have lost confidence in my ability to cook meals that are right for me to help control my diabetes. I have done many a search on line to find recipes for single people, let alone finding the books for single people, as most recipes are designed for a family of four or more. As for following the instructions in the aforementioned recipes to are difficult to follow due to my disability (dyslexia). The situation is having an adverse effect on my depression as I have not been enjoying the past few days, as I have now reached the point that I have lost interest in cooking. As I have managed well so far, the meals are plain, I would like to add more taste to my meals. I was not taught on how to cook meals for myself, as when I asked my mother to teach me, she said “NO” it is too dangerous for you to be in the kitchen and she would chase me out of the kitchen with a broom hand. I am not the sort of person that dose calorie counting or carb counting, I do not weigh as it will only make more depressed than I already suffering with. I really need some form of help with the current situation regarding cooking meals and what to cook, and how to cook the meals. As all the courses that I have found on the internet are paid for courses, and I do not have the finances to pay for them. [/QUOTE]
