  1. Went to the store tonight and stocked up on some items that will help me make healthy meals, so I'll actually make new things instead of relying on the old stand-bys that are getting repetitive. 

    I got:

    • bag of chopped broccoli/cauliflower (currently roasting in the oven with some baby carrots)
    • two Roma tomatoes
    • Laughing Cow light Swiss
    • wonton wrappers
    • turkey pepperoni
    • 90% lean ground beef
    • Greek yogurt cream cheese
    • mozzarella cheese sticks (like string cheese, not the breaded kind)
    • Canadian bacon
    • regular bacon
    • a squeeze bottle of ginger
    • skim milk
    • EVOO
    • pizza sauce
    • a bag of clementines
    • small cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes
    • a can of chickpeas (to try @AshAsh1's roasted chickpeas -- I've never had chickpeas, only hummus)
    • pineapple tidbits in juice

    The ham, pizza sauce, pineapple, and some shredded mozzarella we already had are in the oven with the veggies, becoming crustless Hawaiian pizzas based on this recipe: https://www.ellaclaireinspired.com/no-crust-pizza-bites/

    I also plan on making these mini cheeseburger meatloaf muffins, though not tonight: http://www.hungry-girl.com/ask-hg-q-and-a/seven-healthy-protein-packed-recipes

      You go girl! I can't wait to try the wonton wrappers!

      Let me know how you like the roasted chick peas!

      Yum!!! Pay attention to your meals and make note if any of them make you feel "snackier" or hungry sooner than normal after your last meal.

      Fresh pineapple is better than canned (sugar wise - cuz of bioavailability of the sugars), and is still sugary and the wonton wrappers may make you start jonesing for illicit stuff. LOL. Feel free to ignore me! Your roasted veg and pizza bites look yummy!!! And puts thoughts in my head!! :)

  2. When I got dressed this morning, I realized I was wrong about the size of the jeans I got at Walmart the other day. They're not 26/28s; they're 24/26s! Which is even better, but also ridiculous because a pair of size 26 pants from the same brand were too small. The jeans have stretch, though, and the pants did not.

      What a happy surprise :) I've noticed Walmart has been changing up their sizes, too. If I remember correctly, what used to be a 2x is now considered a 3x and that's the highest size they carry (i.e. 26/28's aren't to be found). Of course it could be that maybe its just my Walmarts (Godfrey and Wood River) that aren't carrying the larger sizes.

      I did see some 26s in this Terra & Sky brand, but I didn't see any 28s at mine (Litchfield, though I also go to Carlinville since that's where I work). Of course, I was only looking at the one rack of actual pants, not the several with capris. I know the 24/26s are considered a 3X.

  3. Why isn't there a way to block people on this site? I'm sick of scaremongering and would rather not see it.

      I agree there should be. Mine is not so much about the scaring but ive noticed one member in particular that no matter how sincere and upset someone seems to be, they just can't help but be sarcastic. I am famous for sarcasm, but there is an appropriate time and place. It doesnt belong when someone is pouring their heart out publicly because they need an understanding outlet.

      There is - you can "ignore" users on the non-mobile version of the site.

      AH! Thank you! I hadn't seen that option because I rarely hover over someone's username. They need to make that option available on the person's profile page or directly on the posts they make, but at least it exists!

  4. Woot, I was finally able to eat a slice of 100% whole wheat toast without dumping! It'd been two weeks since I tried and dumped after just two teeny tiny bites.

      oooh, I am so looking forward to toast! Congrats!
