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

Breakfast Time! (or lunchtime…however u want to look at it…)

Watermelon, feta, dried blueberries, fresh mint, with a healthy squeeze of lemon juice: 134 calories. Plan on eating it all.

Kids had pigs in a blanket and since I haven’t willingly ate a hot dog made from an animal in years so I had about half an imitation crab stick, 1.5tsp honey mustard dressing, and 1/4 cup Brussels sprouts tossed in Parmesan and olive oil. Included is a rough estimate of the calories.
After dinner I’m still about 500 calories short for today ? so who knows what I’ll have for a late night snack.

I’m usually never hungry when I wake up for work but I’d already been up a couple hours before making the kids dinner. They had sweet stuffed sweet potatoes and sloppy joes made with TVP. I chose a savory loaded sweet potato instead. The black beans are tossed with cumin and tajin and the sweet potatoes had pumpkin pie spice on them when roasting.

I’ve only managed 4 bites so I'm packing the rest for work along with some roasted bell pepper strips.

I ❤️ Sweet potatoes

Dinner! This is the fabled “red bag” Aldi chicken fillets. They are very good.
I’m still not cooking much so it was prepared in the Airfryer. No afters, I ate it all as this was my first “true” meal today.

What’s happened that this is your first true meal @GreenTealael? I’ve obviously missed something? Are you ok?

Oh nothing was wrong! I was very busy, it was very hot so ate snacks instead ??

Made the kids pizza rolls for dinner. I had part of a bag of sad looking Caesar salad that I added some equally sad looking kale to. ? Topped it with some sesame, pumpkin, and hemp seeds. Ended up eating a total of 2 pizza rolls with the salad one of which was eaten screaming hot out of the oven while serving kids dinner. ??‍♀️

Thank goodness. I thought you may have been unwell or had surgery.

Awww thank you for your concern ❤️
I am well! I’m also just not very hungry lately, I think it’s seasonal.

How is your recovery going?

Lunch: strawberries, slice of prosciutto, Marcona almonds, firehook garlic thyme crackers, Beechers cheddar, and a soft cheese called Diva. Yummy

Agreed! ? ?

Ordered a salad for dinner before work and I’ll be taking at least part of it with me.
Romaine, iceberg, and carrot blend with mandarin oranges, strawberries, dried cranberries, candies pecans, blue cheese, and grilled chicken with balsamic dressing.

Found these!!! It’s too much bread for me in one sitting so I’ll likely not eat any (but my family will ?) Has anyone else tried these yet?
