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

I often forget to post what I make for the vegan in my life. Is it a salad? A bowl? Idk

YUM ?

Yep, still woking on that salad i made 3 days ago (and yep, i eat 3-day old leftovers)

i ate 1/2 yesterday and just now ate the other half with another scoop of ground beef and some fried garlic: 178 calories for the bowl (I didn’t actually weigh the leftovers, just estimated, based on the data i logged on Wed.)

As you can see, i ate it all…3-day old leftovers, yuuuum lol

Oven roasted pork with baby spinach, with as espresso martini beforehand: 383 calories.

#stuffed ?

So this was the breakfast i made for The Kid this morning.
It looked (and smelled) so good that i had to swipe a triangle to eat.
Now i am almost never hungry/cravey this early in the morning nor do i eat before noon, but man, toasted brioche bread is like what i think Perfection smells like, if it had a smell.
French-style omelette on a slice of toasted brioche which shaved Parmesan. 1 triangle == 91 calories.
Already in my tum digesting.

Omg this looks so good. I'm not eating breads just yet because of my program but I miss egg on toast more than anything wowwwww yummy

Ordered pizza for the kids after having a Mother’s Day photo shoot with my mom and siblings and giving her the ring my dad ordered for her before he passed away.

Still managed a whopping 400 (approximate) calories for what I ate.

However, I’m more shocked at the nearly 1300 calories my 7yr old (he’s below weight for his height because he never stops moving!)

I have a confession: I can’t eat leftovers. I’ve tried so many times. By the next day I’m faking happiness and forcing myself to do it because I make everyone else eat leftovers. Where is my support group? ?

It was my BF’s birthday and last year I made a cake that I threw more than half away so this year I bought cupcakes.Of course these are full sugar monstrosities, so only a few bites from me. Honestly they should make these as minis because it’s probably all anyone needs.

Happy Birthday BF!! ???

Re: mini cupcakes (and donuts too for that matter): AGREED on the standardization of the miniture-ality for multi-flavoured desserts. (YUM to ur pic btw)

whenever i buy cupcakes or donuts, i end up cutting out a mini pie-like slice out or ALL of them so i can taste it. I mean, i can’t realistically commit to just one…they are way too big, and there are so many flavours! (Plus..dumping)

…then they become “leftovers” and become triggers for all the people who im setting up that support group for you ? lololzzz

❤️❤️❤️

Went to brunch this morning (happy mother’s day to all mothers past, present, and future, btw) and i was none too impressed with the eggs benny I ordered, so brunch ended up being 4 mimosas (the glasses were small!) and a couple forkfuls of my mom’s side garden salad.

Anyhoo, on the way home I was all, “I want pie”, so Mr. kindly stopped at a bakery and picked me up one of my faves: Strawberry Rhubarb!

I prefer pastry top crust over the crumble crust of this one, but oh my it was delicious, crumble or no.

I drank a sh*t tonne of water beforehand just in case my tum revolts as it was relatively empty.

The Kid ate the stuff left.

I usually don’t do leftovers from restaurants but I’m more than happy to eat leftovers from amazing recipes I find online…. Not so much for the meh ones.

I finally got around to editing the pictures from yesterday here’s a picture of what I think is a heron as story tax.

Also, my mom brought me flowers!

Anyway, I still missing my dad terribly so for Mother’s Day dinner I made bibimbap with bulgogi, Lima beans (not traditional but I like them!), kimchi, sesame bell peppers, over sesame rice (cook rice in rice cooker, when done stir in 1-2 tbsp sesame oil depending on amount of rice and a heavy pinch of salt), topped with a fried egg. I had blueberries as fruit. 435 calories total.

Obviously didn’t eat it all but will eventually snack on it later.

Personally i am not partial to fake meat. I’d rather have the real thing. Or not at all! Lol.

But did u try any? Did it taste real? Texture?
