    You can use eating apples to make the crumble. They'll hold their shape (not turn to mush like cooking apples do) and won't need much sugar added, if any.

    how about some vegetable soups and freeze them for lunches. or vegetable pies with like a cheese sauce instead of gravy.

    That's brilliant. You can use bolognase mix in loads of ways once you've batch cooked it - in a pasta bake; add a bit of chilli powder and stuff some tortillas; lansagna etc
  • Well done for taking charge of your problem, and there are a lot of good ideas here and lots of support.
    Forgive me if it's already been said (I only read 2 pages!), but one thing to remember is that if you do now spend something that you shouldn't, DON'T beat yourself up about it. Everyone trips at some point - just forgive yourself and carry on, realising that to carry on after tripping shows that you are strong.

    Good luck!!!
