Well, the conservatorship over me went to court recently, and the court ruled I no longer have the right to protest the conservatorship due to reasons I don't even remember or comprehend.

Since then, things have gotten progressively worse at home. Tonight, I didn't get dinner. When I suggested Mac 'n Cheese as a side to Hamburger (A PERFECTLY GOOD CHOICE), do you realize what she said? "You can't have that. You have had your quota of noodles for the day." Wonderful! First she blames all manner of things on me because I protested her treatment of me and it went to court, and now she is restricting my food choices too.

This means the only things I know how to prepare, I CANNOT MAKE FOR MYSELF NOW.
I say I'm going to make a TV dinner? "No I cooked dinner. We are having this or nothing."
More ramen? "You have had your quota for the day."
Or maybe heat a quick hot pocket? "Its all carbs, and you just get fatter and fatter and fatter. NO."

So I have two choices left to me, and its the worst case scenario of decisions: EITHER DON'T EAT AT ALL, OR STEAL FOOD FROM HER.

What the heck should I do now?

are you actually very overweight? maybe she is trying to save your life. if you're not severely overweight, she's just very controlling and you need a better lawyer to appeal the conservatorship. why do you even need a conservatorship? you're plenty articulate.

I don't understand why you couldn't just eat the hamburger. It would be better than nothing even without the mac&cheese. There is always tomorrow to have mac&cheese. Plus, it's smart to limit how many noodles you eat because they can really raise your cholesterol. Maybe having some type of noodles 3 or 4 times a week would be a good compromise. You can have set days for noodles like every other day or two days during the week and both Saturday and Sunday. You could also ask to be taught how to cook more meals for yourself such as steamed vegetables or a salad or whatever else. And don't even get me started on how bad tv dinners are for you.

It's not the noodles that are filled with cholesterol. Noodles are mostly carbohydrates. If you are worried about cholesterol, it's the hamburger I'd be worried about. Personally, I eat hamburger nowadays that is 93 percent beef and 7 percent fat, or higher in the beef content. The only problem with the low fat burgers is that it is expensive.

The cheese, on the other hand, is loaded with both carbohydrates and fat.

We haven't heard anything new on this situation. Why do you need a conservatorship?
