My Journal- Do Not Read!
This is my private, personal journal. Do not read this… Please be kind and respectful of my desire for keeping this private <3 Thank you! <3
Except @Torean. @Torean has free rein in this journal <3 Maybe you can help me sort out my confusing thoughts…
I’m eating a plum and little tomatoes :)
I love plums! And tomatoes with salt!
Salt??? Why???
Because tasty combination is tasty 😋
Gonna need more than that XD
I dunno, it just meshes. A lot of people do it. It's like, a "thing". Don't always trust "things" though, because they were wrong about mustard being good on watermelon
What??? Who told you mustard on watermelon??
Tajin on watermelon. Don’t take my word for it. Go buy it and try it on fruit. Your mind will be blown. <3
I dunno, it's this whole thing. People are wrong about it though.
Tajin on watermelon is legit. I like it even more on mango. Chamoy sauce is pretty good on fruit like that too.
People also do Tik ToK challenges. Don’t listen to people. Lol
I don’t like mango and idk why lol
I’ve never had chamoy sauce. What is it?
Lol, true.
Uhhh... I don't know how to explain chamoy sauce. It has an almost oozy texture, it's kinda sweet, kinda tangy, it wants to be spicy but literally has no spice on its own.
Nutritionist tips:
Remove all distractions while eating. If you struggle to go cold turkey (our culture is very programmed to have a screen in front of us), work your way down. Instead of watching a movie, listen to a podcast or read a book on your phone (or a physical book!). Then listen to a song. Work your way down to not needing entertainment while you eat.
Eat half of what you plan to eat, wait 15 minutes, then eat the other half.
Don’t skip meals or restrict your food. You’ll be more likely to binge more later.
Hmm, I feel very confident that distractions aren't the issue. I eat too fast anyway. I know one issue is that too much dinner is usually made, and I end up getting more before I put it away so that less is wasted.
The second one is good advice... I can swing that sometimes.
I never skip meals, but I do restrict food... Or try not to overeat. My body seems to punish me later either way.
I have a similar issue… I don’t want to save just a small amount of food in the fridge (for what legitimate reason, I have no idea… It’s already in a container!). So I eat it. And regret it after.
Do that tomorrow.
How do you restrict food?
Why not scoop out a smaller amount and then just eat that? I need to start doing that too.
Good challenge, I'm going to split my lunch and dinner. And try to drink a bunch of water first.
I mean, I just try to not eat an insane amount, but my stomach finds out quickly, and everything goes wrong.
Try that. I have to do that too. I overate at lunch, with the option of eating more, so I popped a mint in my mouth to remove the desire to eat. It worked! Are you proud of me?? <3
I'm very proud! I'll have to try that too. I sorta did well for lunch, I mostly ate it in one go, but then I snacked on pineapple
Do you have mints?
I do, but I have no idea where I put them.
Ok. Go buy some when you go shopping this weekend. When you know you’ve had enough food and want to keep going, pop a mint. It actually works :)
I hope it does. I just got a avoid chewing the mints up 😅 I'll definitely try it
Tomorrow, I want us both to try to go to bed early. I don’t care if it’s 10 minutes early lol
Heh, I'll try. I'll be going to bed on time tonight.
Yay! I may not. Lol
I need to. I couldn't sleep last night. Again. And then I dreamed that I was in this evil group. We had these little evil booklets too.
Sounds like you joined a cult in your sleep. ;)
Lol, it seemed like a fun evil cult at least
Gonna need some deets. Lol
I dunno, I remember something about being in a restaurant after dark. And then there was something about claw weapons or something
Why is your brain so weird hehe
(That’s not an insult hehe)
Well… maybe teasing. Lol
Lol, thank you 😁
I dreamed about an evil teacher in a basement that was hypnotizing people with her weird blue-green eyes, but I was immune. I also don't know why she was hypnotizing people
Why is your brain so random lol
What new fruit/veggie/mushroom/grain/legume will you try in the next couple of days? <3
I dunno. 😅 I don't have any in mind. I did just now try blackcurrant though. You know how grape flavored stuff doesn't taste like grape? Well, blackcurrant tastes kinda like that, but... Good though. It tastes like grape flavored stuff, if you remove the bad and replace it with good
Blackcurrant jelly?
I’ve never tried blackcurrant. Is it a fruit?
When do you go shopping next?
It is a fruit, but it's hard to find blackcurrant anything in the US.
I go shopping on the weekends
I wonder why?
Ok. When you go shopping this weekend, I want you to get 3 new fruits to try over the next few days. (Don’t get more unless you know you’ll eat it. I wasted two of my fruits because they went bad before I could eat them.) Then try them at report back to the fruit post! :)
Yeah, I have no idea either.
I'ma start with one fruit. I'm still proud of remembering to cut my pineapple up this week. 😅
What fruit did you get??? I had a red pear, a kiwi, and sugar snap peas today <3
I'ma be honest, I worked yesterday morning, and then the electricians were late (this should be their last visit) so I had to kill a ton of time before actually grocery shopping, and I was too tired to remember that.
Though I did try an authentic Italian calzone. It was way better than one from a standard pizza chain, but way too much cheese though.
I wanna try a red pear I think
It’s all good <3
What’s a calzone?
Yessssss try a red pear! They’re soooo good <3 Then report back to the New Fruits post hehe
A calzone is kinda like a pizza pocket but bigger and shaped differently? I don't know how else to describe it. Stromboli is really similar to it too.
I might try to pick one up today. If possible.
I want to drive places with my recently-obtained license, but I’m at a loss on where to go. I mean like destinations, not like road trips. I’ve done joyriding (driving wherever just exploring with no destination in mind), and gone to an arcade, library, and the grocery store. But I don’t know where else to go. Preferably something fun, or somewhere I can do my art, or something to explore. Any ideas??? <3
Parks maybe? Or, you could start methodically exploring. Sometimes you find interesting places that you wouldn't otherwise. Like, things I've found in my town include a little wildlife sanctuary type-thing in the middle of a neighborhood, a big duck pond behind some buildings, a cul de sac of actual mansions in the middle of a big regular neighborhood, a park on a super high hill, a very hidden cemetery near a forest (weird, I know), and a hidden pasture with a few cows.
I tried a new restaurant on my lunch break. They had a fried green tomato BLT that I wanted to try. It wasn't good though. Like, it would have been, but they added actual regular tomato to it, and regular mayo in addition to the special sauce. They ruined a good idea by trying to mix two different sandwiches.
Have you ever had a fried green tomato before that? What’s it like?
I’ve been happily devouring a bunch of fruit… but also binging at night. I want to stop, but I love food. And the comfort it gives me…
Well, it's hard to explain. They're unique. My granny used to grow green tomatoes in her garden, and every harvest she'd make them. 😋 Super freaking tasty. I've never had them quite that good from a restaurant.
I know whatcha mean... I binged on chips yesterday. I also had homemade pizza and pineapple though. (NOT together! 😂)
Zzz
Need sleep? Me too... 😫
I was tired when I wrote that lol
Lol... Makes sense. I'm panicking... I have a hard lump under my skin all of a sudden...
Weird, go see a doctor? (My phone wanted to change it to “crocodile” lol)
A crocodile might be cheaper if it needs to be removed... I guess it's probably a boil or cyst... I have to try to figure it out probably... It shouldn't be anything...
Stop panicking. It’s likely nothing. :)
Also, don’t panic. I found one once, asked my doctor. The response? Varicose veins. Yay me. Lol! So it may be something boring like that lol
I had a dream last night…
Oooh, what about?
A guy. And real love…
To anyone whos reading this: I’m not flirting with Torean. I’m sharing something deep I felt.
Is it time for a real chat?
Methinks so
Did you realize you were posting as your listener account yesterday?
Uh, just to the one survey thing, right?
Never saw a survey. Saw it on a random icebreaker post
I do that sometimes, I'm subscribed to a couple, so if I see them while I'm doing listener training stuff I might answer them
Ohhh ok :)
