Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

Dang, I gotta post. This was SOOOO filling! I have lunch for days. The before is gonna be 2 meals, then I still have 2 meals of tuna left, and 5 meals of the cucumber salad left and can just add the leafy greens to each salad. It's not often I have leftovers.

I call this Spicy Tuna on Cucumber Salad with Arugula, Baby Spinach and Lime! Ole! Ha. Can you tell I loved it from all the angles? And I had AFTERS! LOL!

And drumroll please...what was left as an AFTER?

Last night's dinner from the air fryer! YUM! I ate about 1/6 of the recipe (1 cup) No afters!

I'm double posting this cuz it's that good! The yogurt, blueberries and walnuts are optional. But they sure are delish!

Mocha Caramel Chia Pudding with Blueberries and Walnuts. So rich and creamy!

Using the hot coffee to swell the chia seeds makes them puff almost instantly! Just add coffee and keep stirring! TY @GreenTealael for sharing the secret to chia success!!! Woot!

Soooo yum, going to make a base Chia with coffee too tonight now.

Can I say btw that Chia is my new best friend? I've been eating this stuff for 5 days now, and have not needed to rely on my Benefibre nor Clearlax to poop! Delicious AND "dislodging" at the same time ?

My dinner last night...I ate 6. Mr. and the Kid polished off the rest.

Stop it! So you're making it now? I swear, just go make the mocha and coffee version. Add any flavor of Premier Protein. I just had the caramel open, but would have used chocolate otherwise. And tell me what you think? I loved adding the cinnamon, cayenne, and turmeric to the hot coffee and cocoa mix!

I can't believe you've been able to break up with clearlax. Be still my heart! I'm hoping chia isn't the reason for my uptick in weight at the beginning of the week. I'd been flatlined between 136 and 138. Then suddenly went up to 141! But now I'm back to 138...le sigh.

Wife walking in with new ? dress.
Husband: Where did you get that? Why didn't you say "Get Thee behind Me, Satan?"
Wife: Oh I Did, I Did, Honey! But he said " Ooo Baby, It looks even better from Back Here!" So I just had to have it! LOL ?

Nope, I didn't shuck em. I learned my lesson years ago when I jabbed my palm with the tip of the knife during an unfortunate shucking attempt...stayed away from the job ever since. This lovely batch was shucked by the guy behind the bar.

Our total oyster haul last night was 75 (and I only had 6!). It was Oyster Night so they were only $1 each (Canadian, so thats like $0.74 for you guys)
