What's on your Thursday Menu?

I'd actually forgotten he was even in there - although he wasn't that well-known back then. I spotted him in a preview I watched this morning (to jar my memory), and they also mentioned him in a synopsis I read of the plot. I'm glad I read/saw that in case his name comes up in the discussion tomorrow! (that is, if I don'****ch the movie again before the discussion tomorrow...)

I am the same as you in that it has been since the movie came out since I last saw it. I swear I remember the plot. I did remember Brad Pitt was in it though.

Have you tried IF?
I saw my weight creeping up to the upper limits of my permissible range, and I couldn't get it down. IF helped me.

Two books I HIGHLY recommend:

1) the obesity code - Dr Fung

2) delay, don't deny - Gin Stephens

thanks for that reminder - I'd forgotten about IF and may give that a try. I'm rarely hungry in the morning, so I should be able to wait until 10:00 - or even lunch time - before I eat...

I hear ya sister I am in the same boat. Thought the running would help but no change yet. I am anxious to see what they tell you. I would love to know the answer. I can't wrap my head around calories in and exercise. I feel my diet has really not changed in the last five years but now it is a struggle. Looking for answers myself.

I got a message from the bariatric clinic a few minutes ago. They said they'd be happy to put me on an appetite suppressant as a temporary measure to give me a jump start. If I'm interested, I need to go in there for an ECG and BP check first. Thinking... Although I think most of the time I'm eating as a response to cravings rather than true hunger, so not sure how effective an appetite suppressant would be. I'll give it a couple of days before responding to them.

Some of the medications also help with cravings so maybe that should be the approach as opposed to an appetite suppressant or one that works on both pathways. It is worth a try to get you going. I will be interested in what you decide. Good luck with or without the added aid.

You have not killed your mother or Mother-in-law so that's a win! You also are very dedicated to your passions. You have a lot of wins. You just don't recognize them.

I have gone through the new Milk Street cookbook, ?cook what you have? and I think you would like it. You are very disciplined about cooking from your pantry and freezer, I know, and it?s very much in alignment with that. There are a lot of options that aren?t meat forward too

Good morning ~ I would never have thought to cook roast beef in the air fryer - very cool! Happy to hear things are going so well for you. I'm looking at progress, not perfection as well. I want/need to cut back on the wine and last night I did! Since the scale is not moving - that is another reason to cut the wine calories, and also get back to faithfully measuring and weighing food. My eyeballing is definitely off. I made an appt with the Dr. from the WLS center group meeting for next Wednesday - I'm excited and curious to see how that goes. The housecleaner had to cancel for today due to an emergency. Rob says it's a sign, ugh. Today I have a big report due and I'm having trouble focusing with the main hall socializing - I really love it - I'm just used to a way back quiet office where I have laser focus. I hate to shut my door, but that has to happen today. Taking a friend to lunch - Thai for her birthday today. My curry was good but this is legit curry - can't wait.

QOTD - I am proud of keeping my sanity (though questionable at times) through all the madness of my life these last few months.

b- coffee x2, eggs w/feta

l - green curry w/eggplant and chicken

d- carna asada taco in a bowl - no shell/tortilla
