Nicola I am glad sharing has made you feel a bit better.

 

its very true for me that doing the food seems to have made my big

decisions a whole lot easier. I used to fret a lot. healing through

the steps seems to have cleared my thoughts.

 

so you find it hard explaining the steps to others? I must admit, I

dont explain much - peoples eyes glaze over dont they? ;) I just go

prepared for anything.

 

Would be interested to hear how others cope.

 

 

 

keep in touch with us - looking forward to your next step 3 doings

thanks mosaic,

 

'fretting a lot' could certainly describe me - & it doesn't have to be a very

big decision to bring that on! i just spent 45 minutes trying to work out

whether to take on an extra shift at work tomorrow, LOL.

 

yes, i find people's eyes glaze over if i try to talk about the food - so i

don't usually try any more, figure better just to do it though it's a bit lonely

sometimes.

 

my step 3 has gone ok today. took my own hardboiled eggs along to a lunch, which

was provided at a meeting i was at & there was white bean salad & veges & hummus

& semi whole grain bread there (pleasant surprise). i wasn't quite full though

so had a bit more when i got home & was pretty hungry by then. dinner was seitan

& vege stew on rye sourdough toast & another egg - i'm not sure i ate enough

but i'm finding it a bit hard to have a big meal at night.
