[Dinx]

Hiya...well im still alive...just feel like death :-(

Trying to stay om track the best i can...
Sleep...remind me what that is?

Stressing my head off...last year i had 2 skin cancers removed...think i have another one. The 2 i had weren't very visible to others...this one is on the bridge of my nose...

Drs next Monday so possibly another biopsy ... Will wait and see.

Hope you are having a good week :-*

Well doen for sp! Sure it will stay the same for Sunday. enjoy your curry lovely and feel better soon xx

 

[Dinx]

No change since Friday and im ok with that. Really hard to make this a priority when my head is swimming with cap all the time but im trying so even a its is a good thing right now.

Tried on an old pair of trousers to give myself a boost... I can Stand in ONE leg lol.

Will try to attach a pic. I look terrible cos im feeling so rubbish so apologies for that lol

 

[Angelxx2010]

Well done Dinx That's great that you're still the same whilst being poorly, you're doing great!1 Wow that photo is ace, bet you're well chuffed. well done! And btw you don't look rubbish. Take it easy xxx

 

[Nicola87]

Well done! Pic is amazing! hope u can really see how far u've come! x x x

 

[Dinx]

Thanks girls...i need to see things like that pic to remind me how well im doing. Up til last year i had really struggled with my illness and then had a bit of a reprieve which helped me stay on a level food wise. Im really battling with it at the moment...it was week by week changes and right now its hour by hour and im having a hard time dealing with it after feeling "well" for so long.
Ill get there...i know that 100%, its just taking longer than planned.

Anyway another week begins tomorrow...lets hope its more good days than bad...for food AND health x

Dinx - I've just read your diary from beginning to end and I had to post! I think you are amazing your before pic to the one you posted the other day is astonishing! You truly are an inspiration can't be easy doing it whilst suffering with ME. But it really made me stop and think. I'm at the size now you were when u started 18 stone and your diary has given me lots of ideas and shown me I use my points all wrong. I'm never gonna complain again cause if you can have so much motivation even in the weeks you haven't been well I have no excuse. So thank you I need some motivation and your story has really helped me.

Have to ask also what are your recipes for homemade curry an chilli they sound fab!?

Good luck chick with the rest of your journey I will defo keep a check in to see how your doing and for needed inspiration!

[Dinx]

Bless ya thank you for that. Very kind of you

For my chilli i use extra lean steak mince which i point at 8 per pack and i always get at least 4 portions.
I cook off the mince with onion and garlic. Add tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and lots of mushrooms and chopped peppers. Im not a fan of kidney beans so don't bother with those. Add cumin powder, chilli powder and mixed herbs and cook it til the sauce is thick enough.

I point it at 1.5 to 2 points per portion depending how many portions i get.

Could have a no point chilli by leaving the mince out....i find that just as nice tbh.

The curry is my dil's recipe and she refuses to tell me in case i make it better than her lol...ill work on it and let you know :-D

Good luck with your journey...im sure you will be at goal in no time

 

[Dinx]

Well the Dr isn't sure what this thing is...and as its on my nose doesn't want to cut it yet..so took pics and need to observe to see if it grows. Can't rule anything out so just gotta keep an eye on it.

[Maybride2011]

Dinx - having a bit of a blond moment and a panic! I know you love warby thins so thought I would ask when you point these per thin is it per whole thin ie the two slices or is it 1.5 per slice as they come together as if they are one (that's split on half) and I've always pointed one (as in two slices) ad 1.5 and now I'm panicking :-/ is that right r are they 1.5 per slice meaning if I was making a sandwich I should be point 3! :-/ arghhhhh so confused :-( x

 

[Dinx]

no lol its 1.5 for the whole thing thats what makes them soooo yummy

 

[Maybride2011]
