I am not known for my cooking skills, disasters mostly, inedible mess but since my diagnosis I have had to try harder. Today I made a crustless broccoli quiche and it was lovely. Frozen the rest so I have a few meals ready made for me.

Also I bought a nice top today and for the first time in many many many years I got a size 14, I just had to tell everybody.

Well done you, much nicer than shop bought and you know exactly what went into it plus the satisfaction of making it yourself. I know how it feels to shop for smaller sizes, I was size 18 for a comfortable fit now I'm also a 14 and my tops & jumpers look so much better when wearing. Keep it up
PS like your avatar, did you paint it?
 
Well done on all accounts!! Lovely to feel proud of yourself for your cooking and for the new top!!

Well done you...
 
Well done!

I am an OK cook, but boy am I lazy.

If it cant be done quickly, simply, usually in a one-pot way, then I'm probably not going to bother. But I have found that i can make some gluttonously gorgeous low carb food with a single deep, wide pan, a microwave and a halogen oven. I rarely use all three, and i rarely stand phaffing for more than 10 mins, but LOVE this way of eating. :D

Well done on the 14.
That is wonderful!

Lovely painting. I've been admiring it. Well done on cooking and the size 14. I know that reduced-size feeling too and the energy it brings.
PWDs-in-arms!
 
Brilliant effort rewarded with a new top...has to be worth it :D Well done and I bet the quiche was yummy too :)

Well done both on the cooking & the top size. It's surprising how both boost your confidence
