Literally green with envy over here .... as I try to figure out how many ounces are in a pitcher of margaritas to log into MFP ??

Glad you're doing so well! May I ask who your surgeon was? (You can pm if you don't want to put it here)

Happy Hour last night! ? I tried the booty panties with these jeans, and it looked odd. I think maybe because the jeans are super tight? Squished them unnaturally maybe, IDK?

Ok .... booty boosting panties round two! I think it was an issue with the material and color of the beige dress. I don't think I can see the pads at all in this dress? What do you guys think? I'll take a pic of them in a few other dresses today or this week and post. I have a trip next week I want to bring them on. But I want to be sure they don't show!

Agree! I also very envious of your curves

I want to be your neighbor. I'd be over all the time for dinner! ?

Allowed as long as it's not something sold by weight (i.e. grapes), and you pay for it when you check out of course.

@lzucks Animal prints and a Marriott ... reminds me of someone You look great!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! ❤️ The good news is I was wearing my jacket nearly the whole day, so I doubt anyone would have noticed the pads. Agree that the fabric & color of the dress don't help is disguising the pads. Bummer cause I'm really into beige-y neutrals lately as you can tell. I'm back home and my house where my mirror is has terrible lighting. I'll try to move it outside and take some pics in different dresses so we can determine what the booty boosters work with and what they don't!

I find tops at ON run large, but not bottoms. If it helps your BDD, I weigh about the same as you, but am an inch taller. I wear size 6 pants at ON.

Cause my figure is fake ? Stuffed bra, spanx and padded booty! ??? Business meeting was with two women today, so doubt they had the effect you are imagining. Also doubt my booty was even seen between jacket, angles and sitting. Good test run though. I feel confident with your guys "not fake looking" feedback to wear it again, when my booty might be on display!

So happy for you @Sophie7713! Your surgery is going to come up quick!

It's just foam, so I don't think it would have the power to stretch out jeans permanently. Worst case, I am sure a run through the washer and dryer would take care of it.

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup (I feel like I should only be in Minnesota when I eat this ?)

I actually have all those ingredients in my house, except the tofu ... and I will still order take out most likely ?

I want all of that ... like right now

*slinks away into obscurity to go buy an airfryer* FTFY ?

Meetings today Wearing my new booty boosting panties. Honest opinions. How do they look straight on? Obviously fake?

We weren't talking airfryers! ? I use my airfryer more than my instant pot or sous vide combined!

I've been feeling bold recently. Sometimes it fails, see Big Bird coat ?, but this I'm loving. It's a break from my normal short neutral style.

I have both ... already confessed to being an appliance hoarder ? I thought I would use an instant pot a lot more than I currently do. I actually use the sous vide more often now. Instant Pot is used nearly exclusively to make hard boiled eggs these days. Couple of reasons: It's a little hard to figure out how long to cook items for. It's a set it and forget it kinda thing. But how do I know if the pot roast needs 45 minutes or one hour? You can't just open it up and check if it's done, you know? Since I eat less now, a pot of stew or chili last much longer then I am willing to eat it for. What I might have finished in 3 days pre WLS, now takes 6+. And I don't have the freezer space to store. Since a majority of my cooking is meal prep for the bf, I try to keep it balanced and interesting. Most traditional instant pot meals are more one one pot cooking, which cn get kind of repetitive, IMO.

Have you tried kabocha squash? I roasted and mashed it with only salt. I was shocked at how good it was.

People are going to judge, and judge on a variety criteria, your car, you zip code, you accent etc. That's unavoidable IMO, But if an attractive, thin, fit man or woman had a cart full of chips, frozen pizza, Hamburger Helper and ice cream. Would they be judged as harshly or even at all? Why is that same food fine for someone skinny, but is interpreted as some kind of moral failing if it's in a MO person's cart? I feel like the dichotomy between "fat people food" and "skinny people food" is false. Skinny people eat Cheetos, and fat people eat Zoodles. The same food is viewed through completely different lenses depending upon who's pushing the cart.

See if you can find a good deal on one for Black Friday. ? I’m actually going to sous vide two boneless turkey breasts for Thanksgiving this year vs roasting a whole bird due to hosting a much smaller group than normal. The plan is to sous vide with an herb butter then broil to get it golden brown. I’m excited about having a hopefully juicy breast vs one that’s overly dry
