Thank you! I have ADHD so I find that the best way to stick to something is to plan out what I am going to eat the next day on Nutracheck and then stick to it, as not needing to think on the spot what I fancy removes the temptations, if I am 'hungry' I also take a conscious moment to think about what emotion is driving that hunger as I am a terrible emotional eater, and if it's boredom, tired, angry, happy, thirsty etc I don't eat and find something to do instead. I tend to have a huge mug of coffee in the morning, a large meal about 14:00 and then a small meal/large snack for dinner and that about does me. I also now keep some rice crackers in the glove box in the car so any time I am out and about I can grab a line of those and not get something sugary from a garage or similar! (and they don't go stale once opened which is handy).

Thank you. Those crackers look good , I’m a bit of a snacker so they could be a good option. I’ve got myself into a good exercise habit , now just need to get the diet right. X

Aww haven't been on the forum for ages, so it was lovely to see this update notification! I thought he was pretty cool looking when I saw his ad - I'm very glad to hear he's even cooler than that! ❤️

It's Dex's 4th birthday today!! Which also means it's been a year and a day since I put down my deposit on him.

From the little scrap that stepped off the lorry that I had bought on Facebook, unseen and shipped over from Ireland; that had done and seen nothing other then wear a headcollar, to the confident big horse he is today, I have had the BEST time with him, and I really couldn’t have wished for a better horse.

I haven’t started from the very beginning with a horse in a long time, and from his first rug all the way through to backing him, I’ve held his hand and he’s held mine. Ive had a really hideous 6 months of late and without Dex I really don’t know that I would have gotten through it, both him and the yard are my complete mental sanctuary, and he makes me laugh every day.

I am so excited about what the future holds with him!
