How moly, it’s almost hard to look at! I still have so much work to do but I cannot get over the changes in under 6 months! At times I really miss a cold beer (and I am not really a drinker) or a good old dish of homemade Mac and cheese but then I look at old photos and it quickly reminds me that I don’t need them that badly! What do you miss or what gives you that added incentive to shut the fridge door?

I am only 4 weeks post op but already I get frustrated when the kids are eating take out ( my kryptonite is pizza)...but I posted a picture of me at my heaviest on my bathroom mirror and a picture where I used to be and want to be...that keeps me going!

I really don’t even mind when my hubby eats junk food in front of me. I have had a slice of pizza and it actually made me sick to my stomach after a bite or two. I have found that when I am craving pizza, I take a few pepperoni and pizza sauce and put it on a cauliflower crust and call it pizza! I just improvise and find a new normal “junk” food . A few bites and I am full and that itch is scratched!!
The one thing I haven’t figured out how to improvise for is bubbles!!! I miss bubbles, but I have learned to love water.

ugh me too! giving up my Bubbly and La Croix has been the worst! I love the idea for my pizza cravings I am defiantly going to try that!

Love your tee shirt Ian is the best

Great work Betty!!!

I get this kind of! My co-worker brought in cookies for everyone this week. It was like one side of my brain was like "you love cookies!" But the other side was like "ehhh I don't really want cookies anyway..." lol It is very conflicting!

For pizza, I make garlic parmesan chaffles and then top with sauce and cheese. Yummy!!

I just had cauliflower crust pizza tonight. I love it. Top it with ricotta and cheese cause I like white pizza then peppers, onions and loads of chicken breast. It’s delicious.
