WEDNESDAY 8TH OCTOBER 2008
It’s only 9.40am and I am already shattered!! The reason being I have been completing the Disability Living Allowance form in for Ben’s renewal claim, and it is always so distressing as I have to actually describe how his disabilities affect him and us. I don’t tend to have it at the forefront of my mind all the times, I actually manage to put it to the back and out of the way quite successfully.
So along with a 40 page application form there is a 6 page document from us detailing how Ben’s disability affects him in comparison to his peers. There are also copious amounts of copied medical reports etc attached the form to. Guess who had to put it all together with no help from hubby, yes you are correct me....
I am glad to report I have not strayed from plan this week even though I have had to face the reality of Ben’s disability head-on with no support.
I have survived on home-made Mushroom soup and my consultants Veg broth (made with Super Free Veg) which I have renamed “Billy No Mates Soup” for reasons which I do not want to detail but lets put it this way have All Bran for Breakfast, this Soup for lunch and then Quorn or “Windy Pie” for tea you will be “Billy No Mates”.
Hubby renaming our house “Where the Wind Blows – constantly” – ha ha ha.
Am hoping that having the soup along with sticking to plan will help me lose that 5.5lb I gained last week.
I am having a mix to max week as I have to have my meat and have found that by alternating my lunch/tea and green/original meals I am able to have a varied selection of meals. I have noticed to that since am having soup throughout the day, as it is syn free, I am less tempted to snack on crisps etc as I am feeling full all day.
Anyway that’s my early morning thoughts – am off now to do the more mundane things in my life, washing, ironing etc.
