Yuck!
Well today's option for Lunch (Chicken goulash - Basically it's rice, chicken, broccoli in this weird sauce stuff) is my most hated meals at Day Patients. Actually I hate this day! Wednesdays of Week 2, the dreaded menus!Lunch - Chicken goulash - dessert - Banana cake (I HATE bananas)and then Noon Snack choices is between a Lion bar or a Double Decker! (Don't like the weird white stuff in Double Deckers so I always have to have a lion bar)Anyway, getting back to the lunch. Unfortunately it's the best out of the choices on the menu because I don't eat the other foods. Today though, there was a different chef because the regular lady is away till next week......................IT WAS DISGUSTING!!! ..................................I can't STAND mushy veg and the broccoli was just....sludge! When it was pressed with a fork, the rice actually absorbed it! GROSS!!! I ended up with Ensure :( I was kind of freaking out though because we're told it's 2 Ensures for the main meal at Lunch time which I know is over the amount of calories we are given in food. So I had 1 and 1/2 which totals about the same amount and then refused the rest Aside from the food today wasn't a great day but it wasn't really bad either. I did get upset after Creative Expressive today though but before that I was feeling a bit dissconnected from everything so I should have known that would happen. Just left me feeling quite low.Didn't manage to speak to my therapist yet about my key worker. I had 2 oppertunaties but I just couldn't pluck up the courage to do it. I will try again tomorrow.Part of me wants to just ignore it (like I always do) though because today after seeing me upset earlier in the day, he came to see if I wanted to talk. Although I have to admit, I wanted to talk but because of what had happened, I didn't want to talk to him....so I guess it's going to get in the way if I don't sort it out?....Sigh...

The food sounds really disgusting and I can\'t believe they making it more appetizing since it\'s hard to eat anyway. What kind of Ensure did you have? I like strawberry/chocolate mixed.
I think you should have spoken to your key worker. Don\'t just let it go. You have a right for help and your opinion, so next chance you have stand up for yourself.
Hey Karrin, thanks for your message.
The food isn\'t usually that bad actually. Some of it is actually really nice. It\'s just because it was a fill in chef.
I had a Peach and a Vanilla. Hadn\'t had Vanilla before...don\'t think I\'ll be having it again. Orange and Strawberry (not together) are the ones I prefer. Fruity :)
I\'ve JUST this minute spoken to my therapist about it. I have a proper therapy appointment tomorrow and he said we can talk about it more tomorrow. I\'m glad I\'ve done it although I\'m just really anxious about making things worse.

I just read this and your last journal and i am so angry at that Key Worker, i am really pleased you have told your therapist, he is being a bully, and classic bully keeps you quiet by you worrying about repercussions. Well he is really unprofessional. Thinking of you hon, it is NOT what you need right now xxx
Ooo just read your last two journals and you have a right to be bad you should definately report him. He has no right to talk to you like that especially when you\'re already feeling down and vunerable. Its not exactly going to encourage you to open up to him. Hang in there you know you\'ve got to eat but I sympathise with choices. xxxxxxxx
