Boho vibe outfit for a family gathering. The dress was new but the breezy tassel shawl I bought (impulsively) about a year ago and is easily one of my favorite accessories.

I’m excited for this season as the love story is one we don’t often see: portly, plump, endowed women being romantically courted. How was it? Netflix has spoiled me, I can’t watch single episodes or partial seasons of shows. I need to binge watch or I lose interest. I love love love period shows, almost any period except the 1970-80’s (idk why).

I also don’t eat salad dressing! I feel like the toppings I add are usually wet enough and I don’t like many salad dressing flavors/consistencies.

Blueberry vanilla (Semi scratch made) protein waffle. With the added yogurt and blueberries it was a little tart but still good. I think pre WLS I would eat 2 of these, or 1 with sides but I can’t remember anymore. I think the biggest change is that I prioritize protein in meals now and pre WLS I didn’t even think about it. How does everyone feel about breakfast? Skip or no? What about “breakfast foods”?

I used to get fresh but never finished them quickly enough and this was before WLS. I wonder if it would be different now.

Tilapia w/ mashed potatoes and vegetables. This is the maximum I can eat, and I ate it all. I think I’m slightly underestimating the potatoes but my food scale broke and I haven’t replaced it yet? Anyone still using a food scale?

I love olives but I rarely eat them (no clue why) so I’m always shocked to remember they exist.
