Oh thank goodness it's not just me! Sometimes my cooking and plating skills devolve exponentially because I get bored with food very easily, still hungry but not excited. I just want to eat and be done

Supper tonight...a mini taco (Mission Street Taco) it is about the size of the palm of your hand. And, hubby aimed high with the 5 chips, I ate 2. There are jalapeños and onions cooked in with the meat, of course there is the salsa, “guacamole” is only avocado and lemon juice. ***Please forgive my plate...my secret is out now, I eat most of my meals off on toddler plates or baby bowls and use baby spoon.***

Me three. I find my interests no longer entertain what the next meal is going to be. I've found and savor the simple, clean and uncomplicated dish mostly. Today, I made this navy bean Soup with cumin in the instant pot - And, WA LA...instant dinner containing a balance of nutrients. Hubby likes the lean ham and bacon. I like the hint of flavor they add to the broth and beans...

I may have a food fetish then, lol (or an eating disorder, yikes.). I still love to cook, plate it, take pics of of it, look at it, smell it, go to all kinds of restaurants and pour over the menu, then order ridiculous amounts of it off the menu, watch people eat it, research recipes and try new making new stuff, try to perfect old stuff...jeez.

BUT, i often get little pleasure in actually eating it. It's almost always a let down from the build up I create. Once in a while I truly enjoy eating something (usually salad or dessert, lol), but this is few and far between.

I am somewhere in between food fetish and I don’t care of @ms.sss and @GreenTealael...more like @Sophie7713😐

Before surgery, I was a bit obsessed with recipes, cooking, and EATING 🤦🏼‍♀️

Now, I want to cook, but it is less satisfying, because things don’t taste as good, or it gives me a belly ache. Hoping to make some photo worthy fish tacos tonight, and then I probably won’t cook again until next weekend 😂

I still LOVE obsessing over menus and drooling over everyone’s beautiful food pics here!

ps. I LOVED @Sophie7713’s color block dress!

All of the above! You couldn’t have said it any better!

Yesterday I ended up making a veggie broccoli crust pizza instead of a stir fry. The whole pizza was 569 cals and I ate two slices so about 70 cals a slice. If I used Tomato sauce instead of Alfredo it would be much less.

Fish tacos with cedar plank grilled halibut, creme sauce made with low fat Greek yogurt, lots of fresh veggies, avocado slice, homemade pico de Gallo, and a bit of cotija cheese on jicama wraps. Two tacos about 180 kcals. I ate all of it. I don’t know how, but I did 😬🤷‍♀️

Ohhhhh My! Your cedar plank grilled Halibut looks absolutely FANTASTIC!😋

It was delish! And it looked so good I had to include a pic. 😂 Marinated for 20-30 mins in lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and salt. Hubby was happy too and had four tacos. I made his creme sauce with mayo and sour cream (plus same spices as mine), and he used corn tortillas. 🤤🤤

Btw, I am obsessed with cedar planking fish right now. No fish smell in the house and so yummy 😋

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
