My surgeon told me I could start the South Beach diet in a few days. But he gave me a few tips. He told me to only eat until I start to feel full. He also told me to use smaller plates for my meals.
My dinner plates are huge but my smallest plates are the size of saucers. So I decided I had to buy at least 4 in between plates. Since I won’t be using them forever, I did not want to spend a lot of money on them.
So I went to Dollar Tree yesterday and found 4 of the pictured ones. They weren’t my favorite design but they were the right size. The price was right at $ 4.32.
It was time to read the meters again and submit them to the power company which I did. I noticed while doing this that both the electric and natural gas usage has gone down. It is still really cold here so I was pleasantly surprised.
Pictured is what I ate for breakfast yesterday. The scrambled eggs are so yummy and the avocado pairs well with them. I can’t eat a lot of meat yet.
I am going to try to do some laundry today. I am just adding things one at time because I get so tired.
I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me in the last 2-3 weeks. They worked because the surgery was a success and I am getting stronger every day. I appreciate all of you.

So glad that you are feeling better! The plates seem like they are a good size, not too big and not too small.
Thanks Jill!
I am so happy all is going well. Just take it one day at a time. In a month you will be amazed where you are.
Hi Kim,
Thanks so much! I sure hope so!
I'm glad you are feeling better! I like the plates with the pretty paisley design, yet look modern and Springy (is that a word? ha).
Thanks Deb! The plates are growing on me.
Hi AD, this is Chris. I am so glad you are on solid foods now and are doing better. Keep resting as you need to. We love scrambled eggs with avocado here.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the good wishes.
