For some reason eating bread with chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag, a normal thing here) was something I had relearned* to eat again. But adding sugar to oatmeal was still a no go. Even though it's the same amount of sugar!
Well, today I had cooked oatmeal with brown sugar and cinnamon for breakfast and it was deeh-licious!
*Not everyday but whenever I'm really craving it. Usually once a week. I'll have it. And not hate myself after.
Baking and sharing brings me joy!
I bought a box of instant brownie mix (the Just Add Water kind 🤭) which officially is 8 servings of 200 cals each but they always feel too small and still give you a major sugar rush. So I added a can of pureed black beans and 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder to the mix (baked them for 24 minutes). This gives you 12 generous brownie muffins which taste decadent but also are a bit lower in calories!
This is a big lesson I learned that helped me in my ED recovery: it doesn't have to be 100% healthy or 100% unhealthy.
So last Friday I went crazy with the junk food (weekend mode). Today I only want to have a cookie and ice cream for dessert and enjoy it!
