Phew! Just had a marathon dinner seating! The fam just spent the last 3+ hours eating and drinking and chatting at the table! That was a long one, even for us, lol

Had a glass of wine, about a 3/4 cup of beef stew (beef, carrots, peas), a slice of peach-ricotta-tart (about 1/10 of the whole) with some pistachios on top.

I made the tart from scratch, btw, and am quite proud of it!

724 calories for everything I ate (the wine and dessert took up the majority of the cals!)

P.S. I also feel like i should put it out there (for the new folks) as a reminder that I am 2 years out and my weight loss phase days are long behind me, and have been maintaining my current weight for well over a year. Dunno why I feel the need to explain, but whatever...

P.P.S the "593"g on the scale includes the weight of the bowl...forgot to zero the scale before I put my food in it...oopsies (The bowl weighs 488g).

That plate is interesting! Is it a painter’s palette?

Yummy salad with chicken while out for lunch with Mom. First pic is after a couple of bites and second pic is after I finished eating. In the after pic I had separated out what I wanted to take home. The Tomato wasn’t ripe so I ditched it along with the croutons. Hubby ate the leftovers as soon as I got them home. 😋

Got distracted this AM, and just remembered I had to eat something (i still find it fascinating that this happens sometimes...)

Apples, cheese & pistachios (plan on eating it all): 291 calories

That pic is just terrible 😂

It's a ramen bowl (even though I don't eat noodles) the slots are for chopsticks

Since I ate the same thing today, I have better pics (hand for size comparison)

I love seeing that people in maintenance are eating fairly normally and still having enjoyable dinners with family. It's great for us newbies to see!
That tart is gorgeous. It looks delicious!
