    Good to read of people’s progress ❤️. You all inspire me. 
    Warm day here but still made lentil soup, added sweet potato as not many carrots. That will be lunches for the week so helps me be prepared. Also helps with simplifying. 
    Have been aware of triggers and am being kind to self. Am fine now and lessons learned. 
    Going to t&sco later this afternoon to use a £3 off coupon and they will have their meat discounted by then. I got some good deals a month ago when I did this. 
    Take care all. We’re just doing the best we can
