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

Ham, cheese & creamed leek crepe

Cheese soufflé

Souffles are slider food, which I was grateful for in this case, because I had room for this ?

As I suspected- Perfect ratio of cake to cream ?

Mr. asked what I wanted for (early) dinner tonight and I answered: “‘MEAT!”

So he picked up this gem of a souvlaki meal for me.

Since I just ate like 2 hours ago, i just had one piece each of the pork and chicken souvlakis with tzatziki and 1/2 a roasted potato half (which I suppose is a 1/4, lol). Ate everything i served myself (almost): 164 calories

p.s. my lunch salad is still in the fridge…ate about 3/4 of the salmon so far, and basically none of greens…that high calorie dressing is turning me off)

Glorious. Paul Hollywood couldn’t complain about that cake. ?

Oh, soufflés @sillykitty. Mmmm mmmm, mmmmm. I have beautiful memories of some totally orgasmic soufflés I’ve eaten in the past. Yours looks deliciously fabulous. Jealous!

Wait a minute, I’ve NEVER had orgasmic food. I’ve obviously been doing something wrong ?

Likewise, why would you ever ruin a perfectly good oatmeal raisin cookie with chocolate chips?

Oatmeal raisin Cookies are my favorite, but I also like chocolate chip cookies. However, I prefer each in its native form.

Edit: For the record, I'm still in the weight loss phase. The closest I get to cookies is the occasional Bel Vita wafer.

I’m also a cookie purist ?

Salisbury Steak w/ goat cheese, salad and couscous

I was so hungry that really believed I could eat this all in one sitting. No. ?

WLS joke for dessert

Are all of the calories from fat? Doesn’t count ?

Okay! I like this reasoning!

My Birthday dinner at home per my request. My hub makes by far the best filet I’ve ever had. Grilled asparagus with a small slice of sweet potato. Appetizer was Cajun boiled shrimp that I’ve been talking about wanting for a couple weeks so I ate some of those. Resulting in my getting full and eating only a couple bites of filet, two asparagus spears and none of the sweet potato. Birthday cake was strawberry w fresh strawberries on top. Hub made that too!! Had a very small piece of cake bc I was full.

@Kris77...hubs made one good looking dinner!

...and...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@ms.sss thank you!!?

Happy Belated Birthday @Kris77
