Hi mosaic, Allison and SJP
Thank you all so much for your replies and encouragement, very helpful and much appreciated.
At the moment I'm either having cereal with lots of nuts, seeds and yoghurt or eggs and cheese with gluten free toast for breakfast.
It was very helpful to hear about journalling - I'm convinced I won't be able to do it!!!
Great idea to be lighthearted about this, I tend to be very serious.
Lovely to come on the forum and have your replies
Rosie.
