I had a small sweet potato, with a tablespoon of i cant believe its butter,

And i boiled a boneless skinless chicken breast. With salt and pepper, curry, garlic powder and some soul food seasoning. After it cooked i put a tablespoon of BBQ sauce to the side so the bites of chicken wouldnt be to dry,

All was good, filled up quick even tho i was slow eating

Just as an FYI- 1000 calories is great. 1200 is even better. If you want your metabolism to keep working, u can't make your calories too low. Now, I say this after just having an 80 calorie yogurt and a few tablespoons of hummus the whole day, but one day I will be able to eat.

Also, my favorite "wings" are just the chicken drummettes from the grocery store with garlic salt and onion powder and baked in the oven.

I would advise avoiding fast food as much as possible and learning to prepare whole foods because the chemicals and preservatives can all kinds of health problems.

I agree with Dotie and several others. We're not here to judge, but to support and celebrate! There are so many people in the world waiting and watching for us to fail. We just do the best we can and when we slip up, we start over. It's actually pretty simple. If I had wanted everything I eat scrutinized and criticized I would go somewhere else. I joined this group to celebrate and support. Isn't that why we're here.

You are so right about the preservatives and stuff in fast food as well as alot of products in stores.

My improvement is i dont go to taco bell anymore. I used to at least 2 or 3 times a week before surgery, and burger king mcdonalds, but i have no desire to go there. My head will say what about a taco, my stomach says ewww no. My stomach always wins. I even have stop eating alot of fruits because of sugar is to much. I just cant eat yogurt the texture is horrid to me now. And not sure what happen to the 99% fat free ones. I was eating the healthy choice frozen yogurt. It was good once but after surgery lost the taste. And yep i know you have to eat. If you dont eat you dont lose, so i do make myself eat. I am doing good to get the 900 calories in.

What is Perdue chicken, and how do you fix it?

I like to season my beans and greens with smoke Turkey. Never had the tail but I use the wings and legs all the time.

I was going to get a wing but it was 6 dollars!

Wow. That's outrageous

That's rich judging the judging then judging. Where's Ashton Kutcher - are we being punked?

Salsa??? Does anyone eat salsa on things. Is it good or bad? Thought about putting it on my refried beans.

Having lentil soup and avocado again tonight.

Lets not forget that, even though we all value this forum, it only gives us a very small peek into each others lives. We don't know what goes on beyond what's posted. No one should ever judge another, or be judged. But I especially don't think any of us are in any position to judge one another, seeing as how little we really know about that person.

Ok that made more sense in my head, but I'm sure you get the gist LOL
