Just popping back to say thank you, especially Nicola. I read all of these with a cup of tea and had a little cry, in a good way. This community is such a relief sometimes.

Thank you Linda, and everyone who replied. This is exactly why I posted. Reading these has made me feel much less ridiculous, and I am adding a few notes before my next appointment.

ok so i'm 39 and apparently already in perimenopause which i was NOT ready for, and the thing nobody talks about is trying to feed a family while also quietly trying to care about your own nutrition without making it weird for everyone my kids are fussy, my husband eats anything but isn't interested in whether it has protein in it, and i'm standing there at 6pm thinking about how i haven't eaten properly since breakfast and i'm already running on fumes breakfast is actually the one thing i've got slightly sorted. greek yoghurt with some seeds has been keeping me going way longer than toast ever did. genuinely surprised by that. still full at 11 which used to be unheard of for me. dinners are harder. i'm trying to work out how to do three nights of something properly planned so i'm not just defaulting to pasta again. not because pasta is evil or whatever, just because i always end up eating the smallest portion because i'm too tired to care and then i'm starving by 9 the other thing is my weight has shifted noticeably in the last year and a half and i don't even know how to describe it to a doctor because it's not massive, it's just... different. different to how my body has always been. i want to track it better before my next appointment so i've got an actual timeline rather than just vibes anyone else navigating family meals while also trying to quietly look after themselves? feels a bit lonely sometimes x
