My Thyroid and Me

Me at over 18 stone in 2010

Having a medical condition or illness can really make loosing weight difficult and slow but you don't have to make it an excuse when the weight doesn't seem to be moving. For me it was that pesky butterfly shaped gland in my neck that decided that it wasn't going to do it's job properly. I became morbidly obese and so ill I don't actually know how I functioned. Fortunately you can do something about your weight like me. It just takes a little more time and a lot of determination.

Smoked Salmon Pasta in a Lemon Dill Sauce

This pasta dish shouts spring and summer flavours. It's easy to make too and could be made minus the salmon for a vegetarian dish or the salmon could be substituted for chicken if you aren't a fish lover, you can even swap the veg if you wish.

 It works well cold too. It really is a very versatile dish and will soon became a summer favourite. Oh and did I mention it's really quick to make too.
