Diet flail

(Forgive the title)

I'm still flailing a bit. I've come down with a cold which has made me sorry for myself, lacking in motivation to cook, and liable to feeling like I should just treat myself to that chocolate because after all, I'm not well!

I went to the doctor yesterday (not about the cold, obviously) and he weighed me, and I saw I'd put on more weight - I'm now 92.6. So after 4.5 weeks, I'm 100g less than I was at the start. It's hard not to be hopelessly demoralised by that but I have to try. So I'm back on the horse, hopefully. Trying to think of easy meals that are still diet-friendly, and just cling on for a couple of days, until my mojo returns.

So today I'm planning on vegetable stew with lentils for lunch, baked eggplant in tomato sauce for dinner. Any other bright ideas, send them my way.

I have a fair bit of travel planned for the next few months, both home to see family and also visiting friends in various places. I'm dreading seeing people in the state I'm in. If I could just get a little slimmer, that would help. If I could just get to the point where I have more than 3 outfit choices! Surely that's not too much to ask...
