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

Fish stew with cod, scallops, and shrimp. Yep, ate on the couch with the bowl in my lap. It was good! ?

That fish stew looks dang delicious. Is there anywhere to eat beside the couch?? ?

Happy anniversary Sophie. Should we expect Mr Sophie’s Christmas cookie care packages in the mail soon? Tee hee!

I haven’t been as meticulous as usual, and I’ve been less active, Sorting through Pokémon cards doesn’t burn calories! I swear I gain weight SO easy! It’s only 2.5 pounds but it was quick. I decided to get back to the basics today and made a very tasty Asian salad.

I want a bite! Any big scores on the Pokeman cards!? Who knew!

Let’s just say I’m shocked. We have some crazy valuable cards.

Breakfast was super filling so I ended up skipping lunch. Had an omelette minus the slice of toast and butter which was for my bf and dinner was homemade chicken Soup.

I dunno about you guys buy my enjoyment of soupy-soups has plummeted since wls. I just cant eat them comfortably anymore. In order not to feel overly full and ick, I need to drink the liquid first, then have some solids. And if I want more liquid after that, I'd have to wait, and often, by then I don't want any anymore. Or worse, I forget and don't wait long enough (since its sitting in front of me) and then I regret it. Sigh.

For this reason, soups are mostly the very thick chowder kind for me know.

Wowza. This salad looks restaurant-quality. YUMMMMMM

Our Christmas celebration was on the 26th this year and we hosted. I’m still trying to recover from all that cooking. I made pineapple ham, pernil (roasted pork shoulder) , rice, chicken Madeira, garden salad, potato salad, lasagna, stuffed mushrooms, jalapeño poppers, cod cakes, a charcuterie board, mini avocado toasts topped with Cajun shrimp and for desert I made an orange cake, Peruvian hot chocolate, and chocolate covered strawberries. I bought baklava, Christmas cookies and paneton.

Not sure if it’s just me but everytime I cook I lose my appetite. I sat there and watched everyone eat and after they left I ate from the charcuterie board, had some hot chocolate, and went straight to sleep lol

Here are some pics I managed to take:

Sometimes this happens to me too, so I just give my food away.

How are you settling in?

Sort of a chicken cheesesteak vibe, stuffed bell pepper. Chicken breast, onions, green pepper, mushrooms and cheese. As usual, I ate the whole thing ??

I hope it eases up ♥️

It's going to take some more weeks I guess. Corona doesn't make it any easier. Everything has to be done online and via e-mail as it seems.

I usually don't mind that but since all the people who usually don't do that order online, contact stores online etc. - there seems to be a huge we-are-behind-answering-mails thing going on right now.

I blanched all these yummy green vegetables for our Christmas Eve feast. Tossed them just with butter, salt & pepper & let their goodness shine. Had races eating the beans & asparagus with my 3yr old nephew. Num, num, num, num, num. ?
