Well, my latest weight loss strategy is soup. Yep you heard me right. I need something to give me a kick in the pants, and hopefully fool my body into dropping a few more pounds.

So, last night I had broccoli and cauliflower soup (very nutritious, made life a little windy, so nothing new there then)

I also took the left overs for lunch today. Blokey who sits opposite stared at the bowl and said "eww - what's that"? I have no idea I said, I bought it off ebay.

He looked at me in a strange way (so nothing new there either). He tried again. No really - what is it? I sighed, actually never do that with a mouthful of soup, it makes a terrible mess.

Well, I said, it is a seaweed and moss compound, scientists have found that it cures piles, and eradicates dry skin on your feet.

Oh, he said. Are you supposed to eat it? No, I said, you're supposed to rub it on, but I'm hungry.

He lost interest after that, and looked up the number of the company psychiatrist.

Tonight I am having tomato and bacon soup. I thought I would add the bacon for protein. There WAS a fly around earlier, and although Hubby managed to swat it, DAWG ate it, so we're back to the bacon idea.

I'll let you know how I get on. I am actually hoping that by the time I go back to Fat Fighters next Tuesday, I will be so thin I will have fallen down me knicker leg and hung myself. But I'll keep you posted....
