(I had what I thought was a pretty convincing cover story, and I had one person ask me straight out recently, and there are several other I'm certain figured it out on their own)

What was your answer?

It was a unique situation as this person is in a position of authority over me. I "read the room" and decided to come clean. I could have stuck to my story, but career wise, that wouldn't have been the right decision.

It's tricky because although I have the absolute right to privacy, I was lying to people. This person felt that, "we were better than that." And there was also the valid point that people were very concerned about my health.

Here you go ladies, I ended up combining a bunch of recipes I read online into one. I’ve also attached a video of what it should look like in between basting. It still wasn’t quite done at that point.

Regular lasagna for the fam (left) and a zucchini noodle lasagna for me (right). Also some Keto Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites (used almond meal for the breading, but I did use some honey for the sauce...)

Didn’t actually have have any of anything on the table cuz I stuffed myself with all the tasting while I was cooking, lol. Im estimating I probably took in about 300-350 calories doing this 😂

Do you think they have already figured it out?

I like to believe they don't care enough to sleuth it out but who knows! My cover story has always been dietary changes which still rings true

I can understand why you didn’t tell your teens. I did tell my 2 “kids” but they were 19 & 28 which is very different. Body issues at that age make a lasting impression. I told a total of 5 people, my husband, my 2 sons, 1 friend and my sister. I didn’t tell my stepsons or my brother, I don’t see them as often and I’m pretty private.

I made a new easy “pie” last night that was super good. I don’t have any issues with breads or sugar, however I do watch how much I have. I baked wonton wrappers in a muffin tin 350 for about 8-10 minutes without filling. I stacked 2 in each tin for this dessert. I cut up apples and cooked them in Water and lemon juice with about 1 tsp of sugar per apple and added cinnamon. I also sprinkled a little cinnamon and sugar on the wontons before I baked them. Just fill the wontons afterward with whatever you like. sugar free pudding would be good too. My son scarfed a few down and I had one.

Total of 75 calories, it probably was less but I always add calories when I’m eyeballing a recipe. Nice change of pace for when I get a sweet tooth.

As soon as I start cooking again 😂 I'm making this

Soft Proteins, yes.

I used my own recipe.

2 eggs
15oz part skim ricotta
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1tsp ground garlic
1tsp black pepper
Dash of basil
1tsp Italian seasoning
1tsp salt

Mix all these well.

Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons into each spot on a mini muffin baking pan that you’ve sprayed with Pam.

Sprinkle a touch of reduced fat mozzarella on top of each.

Bake 20 minutes at 375.

I’m thinking of making a bariatric cooking/recipe blog. I love cooking and being inventive and really want to stay within my approved foods. So it may be neat!

Tried it my sleeve didn’t agree!!!! But it was yummy

Sunday brunch out. Needed a break from cooking this week. Tried new excellent restaurant in town porch side. We ordered a sampling feast for plenty of leftovers. Shrimp + slivered cauliflower, date, kale, roasted almond salad with lemon vinaigrette. Classic Cuban sandwich with pineapple aioli. chicken and red velvet waffles with spicy maple Syrup + lemon yogurt. The best meal out in a very long time. I ate two shrimp and ¼ of the salad. Enjoyed the salad, shrimp and some chicken again for Monday's dinner. Hub's been eating the rest. ;]

Chicken Crust Pizza. I cut this in about 16 pieces, made little pizza bites. The kids like them, I had two pieces.

Crust is made of shredded chicken breast, low fat mozzarella and one egg. (I used egg beater about 1/4 of a cup).

Leftover Pasta with fake chicken schnitzel cut into strips, mixed with vegetables and sweet & sour sauce.

Didn't get to eat my lunch today because stress which was leftovers from yesterday's meal. Hopefully it will last until tomorrow.

First attempt of a microwaved vegan Protein cheesecake. Yeah... well... not that bad, lol. Needs some tweaking (or buying all necessary ingredients and actually following the recipe).

[Sophie7713 3,269]

lunch today with two Sunday leftover shrimps. Ate ¼ of salad - Hub's ate the rest. He finishes a lot of my meals at the peril of his waistline. Haha. Actually, we've been making his portions smaller to factor in finishing my plate! LOL.
