About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Sausages

I love sausages and the low fat ones are not all that good. The exception in my opinion is Bowyers Mediterranean ones. These are spicy and taste wonderful in casseroles or with a tomato based sauce and pasta. They remind me of Toulouse Sausage I had some grilled today for lunch with my home made ratatouille and a little basmati rice. They are less than 5% fat and work out at 1 point each.

Aaaargh!

Doing this for all of us


So I really fell off the wagon.

  • Will I ever be thin?
  • Will I ever be able to have the willpower not to binge on food I know full well is bad for me?
  • Will I always be the fat mum and make my children embarrassed?
  • Will I ever just be able to eat a simple balanced diet?
Honestly I have no idea but I am going to try again. I don't lack support, I don't lack incentive, I don't lack knowledge I just lack something.. here's hoping I find it
