Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Its just for my son ... he is looking good ... has lost a lot of weight from all the meds he was on ... goes out for run most days ... nothing too pressured ... I keep making it more healthy than he probably would ... but its heartening to see the results ....

Thx @Former-Member

I am being more naughty than him ... food wise ...

Making it healthier = 😀😀😀

@Appleblossom , lovely he is getting results. A friend who lives in an extended family situation has been on keto for daughter, it was full on to start with, not so much now. She made some crackers to have with cheese that were nice, but it was a bit of work.

He has been on it for about a year @Former-Member ... he gives himself keto breaks ... has a little spoil but gets back on to it ... it does seem to work for him ... I suggested it may not be best as a life long diet ... as the metabolism is on overdrive ... but its been important for him to gain a sense of control and self respect ... I keep it low key but insisted on the right to have fruit in the house ... I dont buy sweet rubbish to tempt him tho ...

success feeds itself ...

eat that in the car on my own ... hee hee.

We could probably benefit from a few less carbs at work our place @Appleblossom I don't buy confectionery any more for me - if I do the pack rarely lasts more than one sitting.

Just about falling to sleep here but lovely to chat this evening.

Good to see you.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That looks delish @Shaz51! Especially the potato mash - a good mash is really comforting don't you think?
