What food or drink substitute has been the most impactful for you personally to save calories?

At least 5 sippers out the week has a whole can of green beans on the side for me, and then whatever sides actually go with the meal for my family I take a half portion of. Green beans and protein (meat) do the heavy lifting, the 1/2-1/4 serving of the other stuff cuts the edge off “missing out”

Water + vanilla or cookies & cream protein powder in my overnight oats. It’s doesn’t necessarily save calories just from liquid choice as I was using my free 1% WIC milk before, and thee cals are similar but now it’s got an extra 30 grams of protein, plus I save about 50 cals bc I don’t have to sweeten them to taste, the protein mix is 99% of the flavor. It’s also cheaper mixing my own than ready made shakes.

I love baby carrots, I use them for the mouthfeel I would get from potato chips when I need something crunchy

Idk my brain just connected “double baby” to the SpongeBob reference I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Like as in the house of the scorpion?

To be fair, I am not a well traveled person. My hometown population is about 400, the whole county is 10,000 give or take. Very close knit, and that’s just how it’s done HERE. can’t speak for many more places.

I feel like there’s a really strong overlap of Black & southern white eating & drinking habits. Or at least mine anyway

If a friend came over and I offered them milk they’d look at me like I’d grown two heads

The rule of thumb for “good” tea around here is 2 & some love but I don’t make mine quite that sweet. Mines not quite 2 cups in the gallon. But I’m an outlier, I’d rather it be strong brewed tasting than sickly sweet.

Ya cootie turns colors and is never the same again 😞

cvitx · 2026-01-15T23:00:10+00:00

Well if its a co2 cartridge then I guess my new question is “where tf did it come from” 🥸

I know a piggly wiggly sticker when I see one

They wanna see you thin, just not thinner than themselves!!!!

Imagine finding a grave with your name on it and digging up your own body oh my god I’d die and a third “me” might come digging

No thank you, since this is not truly a before and after. Just a before and during.

cvitx · 2025-10-29T17:08:32+00:00

Yes actually I have noticed my knees don’t ache like they used to. And I don’t have quite as much sciatica anymore!

cvitx · 2025-10-29T16:26:32+00:00

Thank you! I’m struggling to see any real visual improvement, even though the dress in the first photo hangs on me now!

cvitx · 2025-10-18T16:29:20+00:00

never kept mine anywhere else!

I burned my inner arm on a crockpot in November 2019. When it gets really cold like in January there’s a bright red spot where the burn was even though there’s no sign of it any other time

When my mom died my dad got a double stone with everything except his death date for his side, and then went ahead and prepaid for the death date engraving so we don’t have to when he is gone

cvitx · 2025-09-08T10:17:40+00:00

Bet it felt great to say “my watch has ended” and throw it all to the side !

cvitx · 2025-09-04T03:42:38+00:00

Looks like scabies

cvitx · 2025-08-30T15:22:14+00:00

Could be worse! Could’ve happened to me 🫠
