I haven't weighed myself since last Thursday, when the scale cried out "One at a time, Please!", but I'm sure I'll be happier with what I see this Thursday.
To help me get "over the hump", I've made this soup. It is almost calorie free, but is still packed with flavour.
Carrot Soup
500g Carrots, scrubbed or peeled
1 Onion, sliced
Juice and Zest of 1 Lemon
3 Chicken Stock Cubes
1 Green Chilli
1 Teaspoon Cumin
Black Pepper
2 Litres of Water
Place all the ingredients together in a large pot.
Cook on medium heat until everything is soft.
Blend until smooth.
To serve, place a dollop of low-fat Cottage Cheese in a bowl, fill with soup so the cottage cheese is just peaking through and sprinkle with a few black sesame seeds.

That sounds so incredibly easy and tasty! Love the pics too :) Good luck with the weight loss - you have a lot more willpower than me...
I agree with Jeanne on the will power thing!!!! I love the simplicity of this dish!
Jeanne - It is very easy. As for the diet - early days still!
Nina - The cottage cheese and sesame seeds add the drama effect!
