[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2404828, member: 511345"] Hello [USER=535662]@Sad21+[/USER] I am sorry that you and your mother feel so stressed and anxious and feeling ashamed. First of all- there is nothing to feel ashamed about- absolutely nothing. We are all doing the best we can with the information we have and our capacity. One thing that helped me was learning about spoon theory. It made me a lot more forgiving of myself. Secondly- yes it does seem sometimes to feel that reducing your carbs and working them all out is hard. I certainly felt overwhelmed at the beginning. My suggestion is take the advice that is helpful first. If you are going lower carb- which I personally recommend- start by having a few 'go to' meals or snacks. That is think about a few things that you can eat a few times a week knowing the carb levels. For example one of mine ideas is to steam a lot of broccoli and cauliflower and mash them together- maybe add some cheese or some spring onions or something. That combination is low carb. We then dole it into seperate containers and freeze. This means we have this available. Other things you can do is to boil a few eggs and then store them in the fridge for ago to snack. You can workout a preferred omelette or something like that that you can make quickly. Lots more ideas if you need some. Just ask and I think you will find many hear happy to give ideas. Another thing I do is diet jelly- it hits my sweet spot and is actually quite filling- feel free to add cream. so having some go to reliable meals helps. This is not necessarily forever but for when life is tough. Over time you will build up more. Don't take on board other people's judgement. For example I have gone very low carb because that works for ME. It doesn't have to be your choice. I may change later if it stops working for me. My daughter is vegan for ethical reasons if/when she develops diabetes she is likely to make different choices than I have- and that is okay and I will absolutely support her in her choices. Not everyone can or wants to go low carb. We all just make the best decisions we can. The decisions you need to make should be ones that don't make you ashamed and anxious. Please let us know how we can help- please. Take care. [/QUOTE]
