It's been a bad week or two, culminating in a horrendous day yesterday...

I've had hormonally induced Mad Munchies, hormonally induced depression,
and a bad few days with the fibro (more depression, plus pain).  I think
I ate 25 points yesterday, and while I swam on Friday, it was only the
exercise points that kept me the right side of OUCH!  So here I am,
trying to get back on track, and still having the munchies despite being
up to HERE with the painkillers!  Grr!

I really could tear into a loaf of bread right now, but I'm trying not
to...  So I hit the fridge rather than the bread bin, and have put
together a really simple soup:

2 pints vegetable stock
2 onions
1 large courgette (zuchini)
4 stalks of celery

Chop the veg into large chunks and simmer in the stock for 10-12
minutes.  Purée with a hand held blender.  Eat.  Yumm...  Dead simple,
thick and satisfying, a bowlful is zero points and two vegetable
portions.  I can go to be feeling better, having clawed back 2 points
from yesterday's six over.

With all this munching I have no idea how I managed to lose another half
pound this week!  Ho hum - I shall just take that and run!

what a nice NSV for you, recognizing why you are eating is just huge, Lee
