Looking forward to hearing from you again when you are able. Glad you have support and with that support you'll get through it. Stay positive xxxThought I would post in this thread, as most of the people I know are here. I had rolled oats again for breakfast, with yoghurt and blueberries. A salad with sardines for lunch, and I plan to have eggs and green beans for dinner. But things are becoming too much. My knees hurt, my stomach is playing up constantly, and eating is becoming a challenge, along with the simplest of daily tasks. Heck I can't even take blood glucose measurements anymore, as the circulation to my fingers is non existent. I will keep my account here, I will be back when I am in proper health. I have met many great people here, especially some of the Aussies and peeps from England. Hugs to everyone.I have the support of my family, and a mental health team, I am safe and not planning to do anything, it's just posting about food is re-inforcng the bad thoughts.
Looks fine to me. Sauce on the chicken looked very Thai Green Curry to me. I'm a fan of the Thai red curry. I have a similar problem with an OH that prefers mostly plain "normal" food so all I do is adapt the meals slightly. For example, curries he will eat but he gets basmati rice with his - mine is cauliflower rice. He has naan and if I can be bothered I'll make a Diet Doctor garlic naan. Mostly, it's a case of maybe adding some kind of potato to his meal. I've gradually got him to eat some things - cauliflower "steak" with parmesan he likes. Have a look at Dietdoctor.com.Chicken Breast with skin from roast chicken. Cauliflower mash with Mascarpone, Butter, Parmesan and seasoning. Curried sauce with, coconut milk, Mascarpone and cream.
I get the impression I am enjoying this more than OH is
Supper: Mozzarella Tomato salad, Avocado, Slice of ham wrapped around Mascarpone and 3 slices of cured beef.
Be happy for someone to let me know if I have got this low carb thing wrong

Thank you. I love creative cooking.@KathyFrance -- Your meals look perfect and may I mention it absolutely delicious.
Feel self care is really important for carers but not eating sugar - definitely not a reward for me! Time to relax however and mindfulness would be very helpful! Plus taking care of myself by eating high quality low carb food would be very welcome.......I've heard that one, about carers needing to be good to themselves. It is kindly meant, but often the self-caring is not what is needed. Even a whole box of chocolates wouldn't have taken away the stress and anxiety when I was nursing my husband - even if I could have eaten them. I probably did the wrong thing and I quite deliberately ignored my own needs - that made me feel better somehow (suffering alongside him?). Foolish. But the Eatwell plate! Are people really flogging that one still? Even our dietician, who doesn't believe in low carbing, gave me a booklet with carbohydrate levels of food in for me to check with.
Thank you! Wrong thread to post about my birthday breakfast but I can tell you it was very good and spiked me to double digits, even with lots of insulinHappy birthday @Antje77
