i really have to follow this now. i've been to the doctors and have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. ive never had a problem with it before, but its been high the last few times ive had my blood pressure taken, and it is still high. dr has now put me on tablets for it.

therefore, i HAVE to start taking this seriously now. my health has to come first.

breakfast - 28g bran flakes HB and milk and banana

lunch - just made a wonderful concoction!!! Just started putting things in a dish, and surprisingly it actually worked!!!

recipe -

pasta shells
tin of chopped tomatoes with chilli
tin of sweetcorn
baby mushrooms
tub of quark
3 eggs

just mixed everything uncooked in a big dish and then put into a casserole dish, and put into the oven for just over half an hour until it was set. it came out a bit pink (tomatoes mixing with the quark!) but it was gorgeous!!! will have to remember to put some onion into it next time. here's a photo -

Hi Tina, I replied to you in my diary before reading yours, which was a bit arse over tit if you think about it, but hey, that's me- blond!!!

Sorry to hear you suffer with depression! It's such an awful thing and one of the most frustrating things about it is that it's so misunderstood by people who have never had it!! Some people just can't appreciate how awful it is and how it just completely takes control of you! It's also horrible when food takes control over you and you turn to it for comfort! I think we can all relate to that one to some extent, which is why most of us are here in the first place! I guess it's about trying to change those long standing habits and find alternatives and coping strategies!! So I think your attitude towards your weight loss and health is fantastic!! And I'm sure the scare you've had with BP will help you to achieve your goals!! Sometimes we need a wake up call in order to take action!! A HUGE well done on your loss and SOTW status!! It's a lovely feeling, one I haven't had for a little while!! I'm working on it!!LOL! XXXXXXXX
 
awww thanks Heather hun, you are such a lovely person! xx Ive had depression for a few years, its totally reactive as my hubby has bipolar, so being his carer and working full time its a bit of a strain, but you know, these things are sent to try us, you just have to get on with it really. i have the odd bad day, i just have to take it on the chin really and let it happen. no point in fighting it, it hurts too much.

im so happy with SOTW and 3lbs!! Yay!! At last, a consistent weight loss, 2.5 last week and 3 this. Im feeling really positive now, so much to focus on, its gonna happen, I can feel it!!
