I didn't eat enough yesterday, I don't think it is healthy to eat so few calories, today I am going to try to add to make an effort to eat 3 meals.

Got this recipe from HungryGirl

gosh i can't imagine myself eating what you are eating... i tried following a diet before but i really can't... any tips?

January I will be 3 years out and I can't eat some of things that everyone on here eats. I come here to read what everyone else is eating because it's like porn. But I can't help but to think while I'm reading how in the hell our they eating that. I just have learned the things that work for me, and alot of the time it's not what they can eat.

I decided after my first gain since surgery that it's because I'm not writing down my food, so I'm back and will be daily.
