That was too funny!

love it so funny....

I just had the surgery. The first thing I was told was no white breads or white rice. They probably needed to define unrestricted ;i{

you have restriction b/c there is a band around your stomach that wasnt there before. you just dont have any fill in your band to make it tighter yet..

LOL! your story is funny (now I want some hot, fresh bread!!! curses!! will there be fresh churned butter as well??? LOL!)

OMG!!! that's too funny.. elephant sitting on you is soooooo right!!Just dont EVEN try that when you get your fill.I still test myself from time to time and the funny thing is my boys could tell when I need to hit the restroom. Love the "FAT GIRL MOMENT" have those too..

Post that Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Medley..would love to try that.Best of luck

OMG I want that Spiced Sweet Potato recipe too. Please sorry to hear about your FGM. I can so relate thanks for sharing. Best wishes imaluckydog

I love you ladies! Guess what I got on the scale this morning and lost a pound! Go figure! That being said it will be a LOOOOONG time before I have a bread moment again. No promises on the fat girl moments - I can only try!

Here is the recipe. I like it HOT so I use canned Rotel tomatoes and lots more red pepper. If your local grocery store doesn’t have bulgur then try Whole Foods (aka Whole Paycheck or any organic market – it’s not expensive and good in recipe!) You can use yams or sweet potatoes. There is NO way you can eat a full serving even if you are having a fat girl moment so the calories listed below would have to be determined by how much of a serving you had! It says plain yogurt is optional but if you put a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top it is delicious and you get extra protein! Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, crushed with garlic press

1-1/2 teaspoons ground coriander

1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes

1 cup bulgur (cracked wheat)

1 can (15 to 19 ounces) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup dark seedless raisins

1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Plain low-fat yogurt (optional)

Directions:

In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion and cook, covered, about 8 minutes or until tender and golden, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, coriander, cumin, salt, and ground red pepper, and cook 1 minute, stirring.

Add potatoes, tomatoes, bulgur, and 2 1/4 cups water; heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Stir in beans, raisins, and cilantro; heat through. Serve with yogurt if you like. 4 main-dish servings

Love the post! You have done so well! Why is it those stores bake that bread at 4pm just when we are hungry, getting off work and need a quick addition to a meal? It is really unfair advertising lol.

It's a conspiracy against the fat people who worship bread! LOL - HUGS!!
