Yes, that's one of my keys to success. I don't bring in what I can't control. I have a few food items that just scream my name if they are here. If I really want them I eat them while out. Or, I have it at hone when giving a party and send the leftovers home with someone.

Pregnant pickle: pickle with laughing cow light wrapped in lower sodium ham. Or pepperocini peppers with laughing cow wrapped in turkey. Caprese salad tho i always want to eat all the fresh Mozzerella. Watermelon & feta salad. Lettuce wraps with deli meat & light mayo, Tomato or Caesar drsg& chicken, or blt style. When I have a sweet tooth I microwave a Fiber one brownie& put whipped cream on ~105 cal. Edamame. Edamame or regular hummus with fennel, red pepper or snap peas to dip in. Joseph's flaxseed wrap with some cheese in it. If I can't think of what to eat I usually just eat tuna with mustard, mayo, & pepperocini peppers to see if I'm actually hungry& satiate my hunger with Protein first. I do love those 80 cal Greek yogurt-I got strawberry cheesecake & banana cream today.

I started online dating again. I totally agree about the face to face meeting ASAP. You know if someone is a yes or no. It was easier when ppl rejected me for my weight, I could say they were shallow or close minded. Now I feel rejected for my age (30) & flab. It's hard to have explain my body to people, like I have extra skin, stretch marks, droopiness, & my boobs are empty. I met someone& started dating, having fun, but he says he doesn't want a "serious" relationship; no future. I'm not settling for anything less. We all just have to keep looking for what we deserve& we deserve it all--the love, respect, & faithfulness.

I usually use my crock pot a lot for our pot lucks. My issues with put licks post sleeve. It's that they are usually high in carbs and low in Protein. And what Protein that does show up is usually beef or sausage. Both of which I have not been able to eat since surgery.
I used to make a ground beef, Rotel Tomato, and Velveeta dip a lot. And serve it with tortilla chips. I guess it would work with ground turkey or chicken and veggies as chips.< /p>

Mushy Stage....Tonights supper...A slice of avocado with balsamic glaze. It was heaven.

So here's my lunch photo

Spinach artichoke dip in a crock pot:
1 bag frozen spinach
1-2 jars marinated artichoke
1 container Greek yogurt
1 8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c asiago or Parmesan
Use fennel or red peppers as chips. Or just chips.
Shrimp w/cocktail sauce. $7 at Walmart.
Cocktail weenies and/or meatballs in BBQ Sauce. Somebody made it with grape jelly& ketchup as a sauce & it was oddly one of the most delicious things I ever had.
Pinwheels: low carb tortilla, spread laughing cow any flavor, bacon bits, tomato& deli meat, optional pickles then roll up & slice.
Crack dip/Rotel dip ( my fave, kinda high calorie): block of velveeta, Rotel, & hamburger or ground turkey. I add chopped jalapeño. W/chips.
Mm I love my crockpot. I'm a potluck vet. Have one once a week at a work.

If a medical professional ever freely admitted to having more faith in a higher power than his/her own science-based medical training, I would rip out my own IV and RUN out of the hospital. Then I'd sue for malpractice.
