Donna's fighting depression and weight diary!

[Aaleigha]

glad you have that phased return in place - it looks fine however as you say if it gets too much you will have to shout - now just make sure you do

Hi Donna. Have found your diary. Just popping in to say hi. You're doing great so far. Keep it up!

I have just made the most amazing salsa - serves 20 - 7 cals per serving

20 cherry toms
handful coriander
1 tsp fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic
1 green chilli
1 grated carrot
2 tbsp mango sauce

Blended it all up - just had two dessert spoons over 50g pasta sprinkled with 1 tbsp parmesan cheese - yum!

Hey Donna

A belated Happy Birthday for last week!:birthday:

It sounds like you have had a great few days. Good luck with work this week hun, I know what a big step this will be for you, but you seem so bright and positive and ready - I am sure you are nervous but one day back and it will be like you have never been away - not sure if that's a good thing or not!!!

Anyhow thank you for your post on my diary, its so lovely to know that you and others know how things can be with food and our relationship with it.

Keep going the way you are going - you are going to be one hot 42 year old!

Hi Donna. Sounds like your Sunday was fab. It chucked it down here most of the day.

Your step-up program sounds good to me. Just try not to worry about it.

Hope your having a good day and happy now kids are back at school! Mine had a bloody inset day... Like they haven't had enough days off!!

Thanks for the rep Donna- your so lovely and kind! Hope Noah enjoyed going back to school today x

I love crabsticks - I had to keep going to the fridge for more cos Noah kept pinching them off my plate!

My youngest does the same!

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Defo gonna try that salsa recipe - sounds delish!

It's good you are getting back to work gradually and returning more routine to your life. I'm sure you will be grand. I know it's tough going back and facing people, I've been there myself, but I have faith you will get over all that quick enough and settle just fine . x

Hi Fat-Harrie - thank you so much, lovely to meet you, are you calorie counting as well?
I'm sure the exercising is helping and so it this lovely sunshine - been out walking for 2 hours today x

 

[donnajt]

Yay 2lb is great!

Thanks Lass - are you having a good week?

 

[donnajt]

I have been busy...organising our goodies...sorted one lot for the kids only (party ring mini size biscuits although even they are about 120 cals a bag i think)...and here's our goodie box......everything has been labelled with its calorie value ... hoping that it makes Paul think before he tucks 2-3 in his pj pcoket on his way up to bed!!!
