An old friend fit and into nutrition used to tell me “fit women don’t eat fast food value meals”... that has stuck in my mind ever since.

This spoke to me.

🙄 I meant literally drinking soda and then saying you drank water, not soda. That’s cheating, to use the original OP’s word. As in, “I drank 64 oz of water today”. (But you drank soda). IDGAF what anyone choose to drink. And yes, I’m aware soda is made from water. 😒 If you’re not going to “speak” to something…

You can do a deconstructed pizza casserole - no crust or bread. We did turkey pepperoni, ground turkey with Italian seasonings, petite diced tomatoes, mozzarella... there’s recipes everywhere. I really got that pizza feel and didn’t miss the crust at all. Plenty of leftovers, as well.

I reward myself nearly daily with little, tiny things. Like a bit of chocolate, wearing a fun lipstick, doing my hair a new way, new soap, etc. Flowers for myself... I also reward myself with home decor/methods. Like we just bought new plates & bowls. I just bought myself a new serving dish, etc. New way to organize or…

Cheating is drinking soda and calling it water 😂 Adding these packets is not deceptive which is what cheating is. It’s literally just adding something to water.

Third post to you 😂😂 Pinterest will have a ton of ideas for you!!!

Also, I hate cauliflower rice, etc. It’s too bitter. But! We tried the Green Giant cauliflower mash with bacon the other night and it really was good. It’s low carb. I added a touch of cheese on mine. I would absolutely buy it again for times I feel like mashed potato comfort food. 👌🏼

Roasted sheet pan meals? You can pick your protein and customize your veggies & dietary needs. One pan, in oven - that’s it. I also thought of Mississippi Pot Roast (you can make in oven, IP, or crock pot), bunless burgers & breakfast for dinner - eggs, bacon & pancakes (I do Kodiak mix or frozen). Premier Protein in…

41 here 🧡 Nice to see folks my age.

I’m so glad you posted! I choose to focus on hair and beauty while I get my eating on track b/c it helps me feel good about myself when other things are simply out of my control. I will have to look for ELF Rose Gold palette! Face: Dove Sensitive Bar Face: Garnier Sensitive Micellar water (green lid) Face: Clinique redness…

I prefer Premier Protein myself. I don’t know what 310 is but be wary of Plexus or something being sold by an independent rep. Not b/c the product is bad, but b/c they will never tell you about the after. They are marketing reps. Better to incorporate protein drinks into your day or diet b/c you’re in a pinch, need a light…

I hate egg salad b/c of the mayo 🤢 I think when people say as a good substitute they mean that - a sub. Not an exact replacement. So thank you. I make deviled eggs, egg salad or potato salad with mustard. Egg salad can also be made with avocado purée or chunks to get that creamy consistency.

I live in the south with some amazing Tex Mex! Sometimes I just want those gooey cheese enchiladas! If you eat beans, taco soup topped with a bit of shredded cheese can take care of that fix. Or make enchiladas using deli cut chicken slices as tortillas with cheese inside and the red enchilada sauce. I made roasted cherry…

My favorite thing is her Instant Pot salsa chicken. I make it about weekly or I choose another sauce instead of salsa b/c it’s literally just 1 cup of any liquid. But the salsa chicken is perfect for salads, tacos, lunches, etc! My next try is her Piccadillo with some adjustments. I made her buffalo something with homemade…

I love making them with a bit of olive oil, pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt

If it’s for breakfast, I would stick to egg white anything and a cheese like feta ... like a spinach, egg & feta omelette. Many places are recognizing people want low carb or healthy options. I’ve seen Kodiak cakes on a local menu, for example. Many breakfast places also allow a la carte. So 2 scrambled egg whites with…

Kroger premium pod or ground - with sugar free hazelnut creamer or sometimes just a regular flavored creamer. I don’t measure. This is daily “treat”. I don’t usually have a craving for sweets. If I do it’s 1-2 pieces of dove chocolate. But doing my coffee this way seems to keep my sweets at bay. I also like making it iced.…

When I go out, it’s a protein and a veggie. A veggie can be a plain salad with dressing on the side. But that’s it - no bread, no appetizer (unless it’s like shrimp cocktail)... I’m there to be social. Steak (round or loin is lean), grilled chicken, grilled shrimp or fish. I will also order a salad but remove anything that…

I’m not trying to be snarky but have you checked Pinterest? There are thousands of lunch & meal prep ideas for exactly this. Maybe you’ll find something you’ll like!

This was hubby’s plate - I didn’t eat avocado. Fried egg (using olive oil spray), roasted tomatoes (OMG - try them if you haven’t!), lean bacon and spinach bacon & feta salad. The salad was my favorite. I will easily make it weekly.

I wish I could suggest Halo Top. After months of seeing it, I finally thought hey I’ll give it a shot. (I don’t buy gimmicks) We bought a 4 pack of pints from Sam’s on Friday - Peanut Butter Cup. I opened it yesterday and it was basically fluff. Not creamy ice cream. Their packages say their ice cream is harder than most.…

Well... I want my underwear to fit on my crotch again. Apparently my weight gain stretched out the crotch area and it was highly uncomfortable. I didn’t want to go buy another bigger size. So the next ones I buy will be much smaller and I’m fine with that!

Lots of fruits and vegetables. Smoothies made with fruits and veggies and a dairy free milk. My RD has helped with meal ideas. I would definitely find one.

Buy a new swimsuit. My old one still fits and I’m sure I will look better in it, but I want a red one. I’ve never had one and I am excited to get a red one, with any concern as to how it will look on me.

Astrology.

I did the smoked turkey chef salad, no cheese or croutons. They smoke the turkey there... I thought that was cool. It was good. But the person brought a cake, not cupcakes like they said. I had two bites. It was too sweet for me personally. It’s called a crumble cake and it’s made differently than a traditional cake. It…

Yes! This!!! I will likely split a cupcake with my husband and that is huge for me! Cupcakes are my favorite thing. But beyond that, I turned down buying my favorite ice cream last night because the calories were not worth the serving to me. I’m learning how to use food to nourish me and learning about my cravings, etc. So…
