Harira

Yesterday's roast duck Sunday lunch was nice but not amazing. Today's Moroccan inspired Harira soup was awesome! Leftover duck put into the slow cooker with onion, celery, fresh ginger, chickpeas, lentil and stock plus a combination of turmeric, harissa, garlic and cinnamon... Yummy. 

However, today I also went and got myself weighed and it's having an enormous impact on how I feel. I wasn't at all prepared for the number to be what it was. I don't know where I'm going to come back from this. I was supposed to be having a consultation for weight loss surgery today and I cancelled it, because I decided I couldn't really afford it and because I thought we could probably do it "by ourselves". Now I wish I hadn't, because I don't know how to cope without help. It's difficult.
