No, they were picture perfect. Then of course I was no longer interested in bread for myself so after a couple of batches I stopped. 😢

(I make artisan breads for my family constantly)

I'll try again soon

First pizza since Italy

Ok y'all let's talk about this. I finished 80% of this over 2 days as 2 different meals. Threw the rest away, I was tired of chewing. Lol.

I feel ok with this choice, I was thoroughly satisfied wanted nothing else for the night, was the true meal of the day. Not something I'm rushing to do a lot but once in a while.

I'll round up and call it 400 cals per meal

(170 per 1/3 crust; entire crust 510; 510 x .80=408; 408 over 2 days 204. Toppings are 2 cups kale, 2 onions, tsp olive oil, tsp Tomato sauce, maybe .5 oz shredded cheese. Let's call that 300. An extra 48 for making this a maths project and add in a phantom 200 cals for eating pizza outside of Italy like I said I wouldn't)

I may try it again next month.

Arrivederci

I wound up tossing the pancakes and potatoes but the omelette on it's own lasted me another 3 meals.

From my son's graduation dinner last night! We had barbecue! It was amazing to actually participate and eat some of the food! And no, my choices were not the best 😯

I really was so happy to feel normal when we went out. And no repercussions despite the carbs or the fat level.

Also, if we're showing a full-size plate of food (like at a restaurant), the differences look much smaller than if you're showing a bariatric-size portion to begin with
