Last week I did all the family cooking when my princess was away. I made porridge and soup and stews and casseroles. And finally I understood why the princess is so slender - when you stand cooking over a hot stove every day, breathing in cooking smells, you've no interest in eating afterwards...
So now I've dropped to 95Kg and we went out for brunch to celebrate.
What a mistake to choose a buffet! All the food choices went to my head! There was a big breakfast fry up, but also meat and two veg, or curry and rice, or cold meat and salad. There was bread and butter pudding, and a cheese board, and tea and buns.
I felt my forehead break out in sweat. My breathing seemed to get shallow.
"Steady on!" said my princess. "Remember the rules in the diet book. About eating only protein and ..."
But I couldn't really hear her, I was too busy piling up food on my plate: pork sausages, steak and kidney pie, mashed potato, roast potatoes, gravy. And a helping of tikka masala on the side. She watched me from the omelette station. I saw her shaking her head. I noticed she was thinnest person at the buffet. And the only person asking for omelette.

Hooray to you for noticing how tiring cooking is. I usually have to unload and load the dishwasher, empty the bin, put away lots of things and clean the table before I even START to cook. Sometimes the dishes overtake me and I have to wash them in the sink as there isn't time for the dishwasher to do it. If I lived alone I'd live on cheese sandwiches. Having said that, tonight I am baking an almond cake...
