Jo's right hun you could do with some protein in there somewhere!!

Sweet potato is delicous roasted but I don't mean like you and I had last time you were here. What I do now is peel it and chop it into cubes and put it in a small roasting tray, I then chop a carrot and a pepper and pop those in too (infact you could use many other veg) then I add a splash of olive oil with some fresh garlic added to it (you could leave the garlic out) and a splash of water and bung it into the oven for at least an hour on gas mark 5.

You could add a small amount of grated cheese sprinkled on top for the last 10 mins and that would give you some protein and calcium. The beauty with that is you can just do a small portion - I find that most satisfying and gentle on the tum.

The fruit is super but you do need some binding type foods or it's gonna slip right through isn't it - what about toast and anything you care to put on toast, cheese would be good, beans, egg etc etc. If you can't do omelette do boiled egg and soldiers then.

Well done for going out today and buying these things and well done for posting to let us know how you are going - if they are great gaps in posting people worry!!

Love Piglet

Omelettes are good.....

Small knob of butter or spread or veg oil

whisk with a fork 2 or 3 eggs and a splash of water

Hi Karen.

I don't really know you but have read some of your posts before.

Just wanted to send you some big and to wish you the very best of luck.

I was going to suggest Fortijuice (which isn't milky so not as filling as Complan etc) but Angie took the words right out of my mouth.

Take good care of yourself hun xxx

Thank you for all the replies and suggestions.

Piglet - Thanks hun - that sounds nice except I don't have half of those things - not anything to cook in, let alone the other veg - wellI could borrow some carrot from Nigel before he goes but don't have the other stuff. It does sound something I could try though if I figure out a way to cook it.

My OCD and eating disorder makes keeping cooking pans and dishes difficult and I use disposable foil trays for Nigel when he puts things in the oven, which he hates a lot as they get thrown away

Kaz - Thanks for the recipe. Omelette sounds nice (minus a few things like oil ). I've got no frying pan either.

Part of the problem is my OCD and eating disorder means I find it impossible to keep and re-use these things.

I ended up with cereal again because I couldn't choose

Any help appreciated. Maybe I need some different foods.

Thanks everyone

You could just do the sweet potato on it's own.

Obviously you are going to have to get some cooking utensils in if you are to make a serious attempt at making yourself nutrious food - there is very little way around this, other than to buy ready meals that you can put in the microwave for now.

At present I would just concentrate on the getting food into your body by whatever means possible but obviously the OCD stuff does have to be worked on at some point cos it's so intertwined now with the anorexia - it might be better if you were to work towards eating off plates etc rather than Nigel eating off foil trays.

It seems to me that because OCD is the result of mainly irrational fears (and we all have our own little versions of this don't we ) it's may be a better approach to keep this in mind and for the sufferer to keep trying to live normally, rather than the people around us living our OCD way if you see what I mean.

Love Piglet
