I never want to give up dessert

This is as close as I get to cooking these days.
No afters, I ate it all. It was a few bites too many tbh

I know this post is a few mos old but I wanted to send a reply.
For me, I do not eat breads of any kind, no tortillas, no rice, no Pasta
I do eat tortilla chips when we go out to eat mexican food.
For me letting those back in would be bad. Everyone is diff. I’m strict with that type of stuff and have other areas of weakness that I allow instead. Like I love dark chocolate covered frozen bananas. They have carbs but it’s my treat.
You will have to gauge what are the things you want to eliminate for success and the things you are able to eat in moderation to maintain.
For me things that a lot of people can eat in moderation I wouldn’t be able to. Ex warm rolls w butter that they serve at restaurants. I DO NOT allow myself that at all. Can’t open that door.
There are a lot of low carb bread options that people on this site have found and they like. I don’t do them though.
I do substitute hamburger bun for lettuce and also when I eat tacos I use a lettuce wrap or make it a bowl instead. There are a ton of options and a wealth of info on this site. Good luck to you!! Keep us posted!

That looks delicious!!
Only one of my kids eats beans. I love beans!!

Wow?!! For lettuce! That’s crazy high!!

Enjoying a week off work so let the home meals commence!
Today’s included feeding Beans (a true feat!) to usually reluctant humans. Mine- crispy street style corn tortillas, homemade refried beans, homemade pico, shredded cheese and sour cream I didn’t even need. Theirs were on fajita size flour tortillas as they still balk at corn ones.
I was too lazy to calorie calculate homemade refried beans so used what seemed close. Also, all dinner items were $13.44US but there’s tons of leftovers for lunches this week and I’ll end up freezing half the beans for later.

Burger night!
cheese burger bunless w sweet potato fries
Ate almost half of burger and all the fries. Sweet potato fries are so yummy. If you haven’t tried them before they are so good. With sweet potato fries I don’t dip in ketchup. I do dip my burger though!

Nice, Lettuce is a bit of a luxury item in Australia atm up to 15.00 dollars each !!!

Slightly curried chicken salad wrap. This was two meals worth of food but the log shows the total for all of it.
I used to eat lettuce wraps constantly because I like them and I couldn’t find good low carb substitutes. For me this what returning to basics would look like (not going back to a liquid diet).
What does everyone’s “back to basics” include/remove?

dinner out with my colourist & her husband. Pre dinner gin & basil cocktail at local boutique hotel followed by dinner at nearby restaurant. Started with Brie baked in wood fire coals with fennel jam & fermented garlic honey. It was delicious. Wanted to scoop it up in spoonfuls but I used two small pieces of lavosh which sat ok. Then duck breast with puréed parsnip & baby carrots. Also sipped a glass of a lovely Grenache which I sadly couldn’t finish. I ate almost one piece of duck & 1/3 of the purée & carrots & have the leftovers for dinner tonight. Yippee!
Lots of young beautiful girls at the hotel. All dressed the same, with their matching laminated brows, lip & check fillers, lash implants & blonde hair. All mirror images of each other. Not an individual amongst them. Sad really.

“Breakfast” for today- iced coffee and a potato kale skillet with an over easy egg. I had a coupon for free eggs this week! 🎉 Had I not though it would’ve been $1.82US instead.

Love it! You looks so long and slim!

No spicy for me. I’m wimpy 🌶

Yes! Same!

Lol I know my phone sometimes does that when I comment. It says error and looks like it didn’t post and then before I know it, it’s on there twice-or like this time three times lol

Yes! Same!

Age is just a number. I’m 49 and feel (and act) like I’m 17. 😂
I had mine done last year and feel fab.
Of course, if you feel its not for you, then it’s not for you. But if the only thing that is holding you back is the number of years under your belt (and NOT health issues nor finances), then my insignificant suggestion is to go for it...plastics is a game changer.
Good Luck!

I just had a Tummy Tuck, hernia repair and breast lift on Monday. I’m 64 years young. No regrets and I’m still very much in the healing process. Had Gastric sleeve 11 months ago and so glad I didn’t wait any longer for my plastics. I had a basketball size hernia sack that was removed as well as hernia repair with mesh and about 3-4 lbs of skin. It’s all worth it! Go for it at any age!

I think this looks so pretty and I’d love to eat it! Not sure what kimichi is but it looks good!

Yum! That looks really
bright and refreshing looking!!i love all salads!!

One of my favorite outfits. It fit me when I was 220 and it fits me even now, though better and little bigger, may need little adjustments.
