Merry Christmas!

I am almost 2 years out. I miss enjoying my food. I keep trying things hoping to experience the old pleasure, but it's just not there. This is definitely a mixed blessing. It's like I want to really enjoy a small sandwich, or fruit, or whatever, but when I get it, I'm like "meh!" But, then I see the next thing and I'm tempted again, just to be disappointed again. Sadly, the only thing that seems to get close to the old culinary pleasure points is sweets, and even they are disappointing. ?

Wishing you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Amazing! I'd never recognize you!

You look fantastic! Very sharp! No one would ever guess that you used to be overweight! ?

Please post! We appreciate men's successes and hot looks, too!

What is the gelee looking triangle next to the crackers?

Airport lounge - at least protein is represented. ?

Dinner: Shrimp with pasta and a big "HELL YEAH" for to-go cups for leftover wine! (Don't get your knickers in a knot - I walked back to the hotel). P.s. that's just water in the glass with a reflection from a yellow napkin. I can't do beer and wine at the same time ?

I'm in the Caribbean! It's rum, not tequila!

SPF50, so neither and it worked great. I'm just as pasty now as when I started. The fabric is similar to swim suits, so not hot. The weather here is about 86 in the afternoon, feels like 97. So, not too hot but pretty warm if you walk long distances.

Looks fantastic! And I should have known you'd have that belt in multiple colors!

Snorkeling!

That dress is HOT!

Lunch - grilled tuna, more callaloo and steamed veggies (pumpkin, okra, carrot) So colorful! Although not as intensely neon-colored as my picture!

I love mine. Even bought an accessory set that had a rack. I roasted potatoes and asparagus on the bottom and a pork chop on the rack. So, three different foods at the same time. My favorite is crispy wontons - delish and satisfies the crunch beast!

Love that sweater dress! Shows off your hinie nicely!
