this is amazing :) I don’t even know her, but I’m filled with so much joy for her!

I’m trapped in the back room because my brother has a friend over who hasn’t seen me since I gained weight. I refuse to expose and embarrass myself.

recipe: homemade whole spelt-sunflower-seed-bread 

for one loaf of bread you’ll need:

• 500g whole-spelt flour (that’s about 4 1/8 cups), you could also use whole-wheat
• 42g fresh yeast or one packet( i think 7g ?) dry yeast
• 50g (about 1/3 cup) sunflower-seeds + some to sprinkle on top
• 2 tbsp. flax-seed (optional)
• a pinch of brown sugar
• 2 tsp. salt
• 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 450ml (1 3/4 cups + 2tbsp.) lukewarm water
• oil for greasing the bread pan

dissolve the yeast in the water, add in all the other ingredients and mix until it forms a soft, homogenous dough. pour the dough into a greased bread pan, sprinkle sunflower-seeds on top and bake at 356°F/180°C for one hour. remove the loaf from the pan and bake for another 5-10 minutes. 

I used the recipe of my tomato-rosemary-bread and made some modifications to make it a more versatile bread. It’s really quick and easy and tastes so yummy right out of the oven!

Thirty Day Binge-Free Challenge

I’m sick and tired of binge eating. I believe overcoming binge eating is a long process. It doesn’t happen overnight. But recognizing I have a problem is the first step. Hopefully I can kick start the second step of my recovery with this challenge. The rules of the challenge are:

• Make a rough meal plan for the following day. Calories are not necessary to count or include. The meal plan is just for basic structure so to avoid binge eating.
• Eat from all food groups (or the food groups you do eat from if you follow a vegetarian, vegan, paleo, etc. diet). Make sure to get enough fiber and protein.
• Eat three square meals with healthy snacks in between.
• Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
• Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night.
• Exercise! Whatever works as long as you’re moving!
• Post pictures of your food and make a daily recap tagged with 30DBFC
• If you feel the urge to binge, talk to someone immediately and distract yourself!

I’d really love those of you who struggle with binge eating to join me, because it’s so much easier to succeed if I’m not in this alone!

I am totally in on this! I don’t know how many nights I will remember to update, but I will try! it is the weekend so it’s going to be difficult, but I had a successful Friday! it’s a start! let’s do this

i’m on! 

I’m in :)

I think I’ve stopped bingeing for the most part, I’m still game! :)
