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

Just prepare Garden Gourmet burgers for tomorrow. I will post a picture once I've assembled them. I also cooked up some shiitake, oyster mushrooms and red onions with a spice mix for mushrooms and soy creamer. My stomach feels a bit queasy though so I put it into tupperware. Maybe I'm going to eat it tomorrow and Friday. Ah, whatever...

@GreenTealael....same.

I find I didn't have as much "time" when the Kid was in grade school so her lunches were of the lazy kind. If I had made lunches like @Starwarsandcupcakes, she probably wouldn't have come home STARVING back in the day...

In my defense I was a stay at home mom and I’ve spent a lot of time in kitchens (both professional and home) so it looks super complex but usually only took about 5 minutes most days while yelling to brush teeth or put shoes on. ?

Buffalo chicken soup, celery and carrot stick. Homemade blue cheese dressing. A bit high in kcals at 350. Ate all of the soup and the veggies, with only a tiny bit of the dip. Hubby is eating keto right now and was VERY happy ?

No need to defend but now you'll have to be my mommy because I want bento box love ?

mmmmm....i spy Blue Cheese #yummer

I bit the bullet and spent $5 on a head of lettuce (five effing dollars!). I wasn’t buying them at their currently inflated price just on principle, but I caved this morning.

Ta-da! Finally, a proper salad! 206 calories.

I swear I probably had something close to food orgasm digging into it.

I cant wait to digest what’s in my tum and feel a little less full so I can eat the rest of it!!

For a pre-packaged meal, that looks pretty darn good! Although I see someone carefully ate around her vegetables and created a pretty pile...LOL

(I would have done the opposite ?)

Oh NO! So very sorry to hear about this! Hope you are taking good care and on the mend. Just had time to visit thread tonight. Santa baby should be bringing you something extra special this year! x o ;]

I obviously have waaaay too much time on my hands.

Japanese curry with rice and Pork Katsu.

It took me FOR-EVAH to cut the little seaweed accents so I’m posting to prove I did the work, dammit...lololololzzz.

They didn’t turn out nearly as cute as the pics I was trying to copy, but a good enough effort, right?!?!

I didn’t actually have any, save for a couple bites of the pork to check for doneness, and a couple tsps of the curry to test for taste. I’m guessing I ate probably about 75 calories worth.

WOW. Just ADORABLE! The little teddy bear and ducky are my favorites!

I think I want to be you when I grow up! This is fantastic!?

I want to return to childhood AND adopt her for my Mom! Fun.

Happiest Thanksgiving to you and yours! This was our late afternoon feast with lemon thyme cranberry roasted turkey thighs; cauliflower rice stuffing; maple sage butter drizzled butternut squash medallions; traditional green beans; cranberry scones for hub's dessert. Ate about 2 ½ oz. of thigh without skin with ⅓ cup serving spoon size of each side dish + squash slice.
