      You didn’t fall off track, you’re just human !! Part of being consistent is knowing how to hold yourself accountable when you haven’t been doing what you need to be doing and getting back to it. You already know what you need to do and you will continue to be successful 💕💕💕

Also....YES to leaving in the footage where the sauce didn't go your way and you moved on to "Plan B"....we don't know until we try and with many aspects of VSG we gotta keep moving to find what works! Great video!

    I'm can relate 100% on the whole size 6. That was smallest as well and really wanted to get there but my body prefers a size 8. I've had to come to terms with it too and I'm glad I did. Jean size doesn't mean much when it comes down to it. I'm definitely trying the iced coffee recipe. That's my go to at starbies too. Have you tried the apple crisp oatmilk shake epresso? Delicious!!

    I know this might sound crazy but you’re eating wayyy too little for being this far out of your journey.. I don’t mean that in any negative sense but those small bowls are not sustainable being almost 2 years post op… you should be able to eat about 6oz of protein either way a side of veggies without an issue..

      I hear you, but I’m eating what I can eat everyone is different and should absolutely eat what they can. I would never eat more than my body feels comfortable eating. There are people who think I eat too much compared to what they can. Everyone’s journey is different, I’m just showing what works for me. Anyone who can eat more and wants to eat what I eat should absolutely adjust their servings to work for them.
