I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
As for that tummy fat, good lord, that sprang up in the last few years.... I never had children so I just blamed it on menopause..... now I can blame it on Wonder Bread :0 Now I am more than determined to limit my wheat consuming efforts... already do the Lactose-free with milk.
But what will I do without my Stouffer's Mac & Cheese !!! Love that stuff :)
kazzaa, I just Googled grain-brain... looks like an interesting read. Wouldn't it be something if later down the road that wheat was the culprit for memory lost !!
Told Dad to try the Chex gluten-free cereals, got him honey nut rice and he really likes that. And told him not to have toast after his cereal, apparently my parents would eat both at breakfast. Of course Mom doesn't like any change in her cooking, she thinks a little bit of anything one is allergic to won't bother them.... [sigh]. Dad is also dairy intolerant, he does like the Lactaid milk. Mom can't understand why Dad gets an upset stomach after eating ice cream.... hello, it's diary. Again with "well, a little bit won't hurt him"..... [banging head against wall].
Found at the grocery store some wheat-free Oreo type cookies, made by Glutino, that tasted like the real thing.... now Dad won't be tempted to get into Mom's stash of Little Debbie products :)
I am off my sleeping tabs nearly 3 weeks was doing well until last night so at 5am i took one of mums?
Yeh i know the feeling of doing ALOT and nothing has been done!!!!
personally i dont agree with anti-depressants for me i think excercise and a good diet work better for me but thats me if you think they made you feel better then go back on them.
I hesitated again today to ring my doc and ask for more sleeping tabs but i want to hold off another while i really dont want to get dependant on them?
Mum went to bed earlier now shes in the kitchen making scones??????? its 1am here im off all wheat and i can smell that lovely baking smell?? is she doing this to annoy me?
Yep shes diabetic has taken her sleeping pill about an hour ago and is up baking cakes? as long as she gets up the stairs ok thats all i can do?
I just have to let it all go over my head and HOPE tomorrow i achieve SOMETHING!!
Hugs hope life will get better GULP!!!!!!!!!
Hope.... honey, you've got to get back on the meds. I tried to stop them months ago. I had a full blown breakdown within the week. It's not fair on you or mom . I found it only compounded even the smallest of stress. Please take care of yourself first so you can come out of this feeling accomplished. So sorry you are dealing with all of this.... not easy by far.
Yep it is legal as all h*ll in several states. After reading several articles on medical marijuana and Alzheimer's I am seriously considering talking to her Dr. Transformed them from combative agitated people to happy smiling people. Lots of studies from reputable places back it up. I'd love to turn her frown upside down!!
Mums gone to bed shes bored! yipee some meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee time! can watch "americas Dark secrets" now in peace!!
Will google that now also!
