The left one looks like someone loving it to lecture other people about their food choices and the right one looks like she's going to punch the schoolmaster straight into the face the very next second. 🤣

Guys, don't be the obnoxious one! It could be dangerous!

Always amazing how people can interpret the same picture/photo SO differently. Didn’t see what you did...at all. No obnoxious lecture, no desire to punch a face. First pic, gently sharing her new found wisdom. Second pic was the old me too stuffed to move! Eye of the beholder moment.

I saw exactly what I described. That's why I thought of it as funny when I looked at the two ladies, lol. Like in a sitcom.

I can't see anything gentle in that gesture. It gives the impression of "urging somebody". Second pic is more like "Ew, leave me alone with your food obsession".

I think it's funny but obviously my eyes took a different look at it.

Never seen this in a German ALDI. ALDI Süd carries some Trader Joe brand stuff, e. g. nuts. The ALDI Nord I recently shopped at didn't.

The soy Schnitzel I pictured earlier are from ALDI. Unfortunately just mediocre. They don't get crispy enough in the oven. That's a definite "thumbs down" from my site.

The original meme is comprised of two different sources. The first one is a of Quenlin Blackwell, a youngwoman on YouTube having what appears to be an emotional/mental crisis (she is now recovered)

The second is from a reality television star, Ms Juicy from Little Women: Atlanta (which showcases reality TV style dramatics in a group of friends which are Little People) in a rare moment of normalcy & relaxation watching sports.

The original paring was created by twitter user lilr0use captioning it "Me explaining to my mother".

The meme is mostly used to display a passionate/fanatical person talking to someone who just wants to relax or is already familiar with the subject at hand.

And now you know way too much about me, my dedication to research & pop culture - obviously putting my degrees to work 😆

So my interpretation wasn't that wrong, LOL.

Was jonesing for some bacon since I didn’t get to have any at yesterday’s brunch.

So my dinner tonight was, yup, BACON!

Ate 6 pieces. Logged it as 120 calories (figured each piece was half a bacon slice...)

The pics I've seen of Trader Joe's branded products in German Aldi doesn't bear any resemblance to the US Trader Joe's product, neither in product types nor packaging. I wouldn't think Trader Joe's is widely known in Germany, so the branding seems odd to me. To add to the confusion, it is Aldi Nord that owns Trader Joe's and not Aldi Sud.

@GreenTealael is the meme queen, and I'm the resident Aldi expert apparently. 😟

Supper tonight a beef & jalapeño meatball, 1/2 a mozzarella stuffed mushroom, and zucchini & squash “casserole” baked in a mini muffin square.

While the bread does contain 9 grams of total carbohydrates, the fine print on the package states that 9 grams of total carbs minus 9 grams of dietary Fiber equals 0 grams of net carbs. Fiber is a type of carb that the body does not absorb, so when all or most of the carbs in this bread are from fiber, they should simply pass through the body.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
