MY DIFFICULT-DAY FOOD PLAN
Decide now, so a hard day asks less.
A difficult day can reduce appetite, body awareness, energy, communication, sensory tolerance and the ability to make one more decision. This practical guide helps someone prepare a small, personal food-and-drink plan on a steadier day so support is easier to reach when capacity drops.
Inside the PDF:
- recognising what changes on a difficult day
- immediate, short-method, stored and supported food routes
- minimum, steadying and supported levels of “enough for now”
- accepted foods, exact brands and sensory predictability
- a five-step routine for the first ten minutes
- a clear script for family, partners or support workers
- stocking back-ups without creating a project
- what to change when the plan does not work
- health warning signs and escalation planning
- a printable three-action plan
- accessible food, support and restocking worksheets
- food-safety guidance, clinical notes and a message from Maggie
This is not a perfect eating plan. It is a bridge between “food feels impossible” and “something manageable is available”.
This educational resource does not replace individual medical, dietetic, allergy, swallowing, eating-disorder or food-safety advice.
