[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2122319, member: 511345"] Hi I'm sorry that you are in a bad place. I can totally sympathise. I've only been LCHF for 6 weeks but I still really miss the sweet stuff. I started thinking I was 'cheating' if I used artificial sweeteners and I still don't use a lot but have found a Keto baked egg custard which I have every so often. My husband makes them for me- the recipe is for 4 servings- we make 5 so less than 2grams of carbs a serve- I use them over a week when I really need something sweet. I figure it's for life so I can't be miserable every day. I am fortunate that my husband is supporting me and I think you need to explain to your husband that you need his support. Like the custard I prepare my lunches for the week in one go (another who doesn't like cooking). My lunches are NOT inspirational- right now it is smoked salmon, spinach leaves feta cheese with a baby cucumber and maybe some cheddar cheese. Today I had one of the custards. I have given up breakfast on a weekday as I start work early and haven't found anything I like that I can take into work for breakfast. I totally get how you are feeling- I've had to stop doing our grocery shop as just going in there reignites the craving for something sweet. You are not alone- please feel free to vent any time- I am certainly willing to listen and sympathise. Well done on the walk- as another who doesn't really like exercise that is great- baby steps still get you forward. Take care of yourself- It is a tough road and being a mum only makes it harder. Good luck with the recipes here and let us know which ones work for you. Take care! [/QUOTE]
