Baking and more baking!

I have been in this huge baking mood lately ever since I got whole wheat flour. I've been making a lot of cookies mostly (healthy versions of course). I made these delicious Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies and I always eat them once they come out of the oven, the dough and chocolate chips just melt in your mouth when you take a bite that you can't just eat one, you have to eat all four! I also made these delicious blueberry muffins from a recipe I found on Tumblr that I have been eating lately for breakfast. They contain oatmeal, and I will eat anything that contains oatmeal, so I have been eating two of them and they always fill me up (along with a fruit and almond milk). I don't really bake any of this stuff for anyone, just myself, I guess I'm my own taste tester! Last night I made some healthy brownies, though I could have added a tad more sugar since they came out a bit dull. I just need to start looking up recipes that are for meals (lunch and dinner), but what doesn't help is that you can't use the same ingredients that you can use for other things like desserts.

I hate this feeling..

Yesterday I binge.. I had more than the serving size of Original Triscuts, my homemade chocolate turtles and I ate about five or six of them, then I made a banana splits to share with my friend that was over, then I also had a lot of air popped popcorn, and then my friend ordered cheesy bread sticks form Domino's and I had two small pieces.. I felt so bloated and full to the point where I was uncomfortable. I also ate a carb filled dinner, whole wheat spaghetti pasta with organic marinara sauce. That's a lot of carbohydrates, so much food in so little time (only the binge part). That was the first time ever I binged in for who knows how long, I'm estimating around five month.. I felt so guilty and horrible, but now that I experienced that I can learn from it and make sure I never do it again. Though to think of it I don't feel that bad because I kind of enjoyed what I ate, I haven't had greasy food for a long time and I love chocolate turtles and Triscuts, the popcorn I usually eat a few times a week. Never again will I do this!

No more worries!

I have stopped counting calories for already a month, I find it more easy on my body if I didn't stress over my intake of calories. It was always a struggle because I was worried I would go over my intake of calories, around 1200 or more, so I would stop once I reached around 900 or 1000 calories a day. Also add on exercise to that, so minus some calories, and then probably 200-400 calories after that for a meal. It's not much for my body to run on. Without counting calories I'm not struggling with my body anymore, I'm actually eating more, and choosing better choices. But here and there I find myself not wanting to eat so much because I'm afraid of eating to 3500 calories, which I know would be impossible. It's just one step at a time!

Fast Food = Horrifying!

          I went to Mc Donald's for my mom because she was hungry for an Angus Deluxe (gross!), and so I went there and when I entered the building, I looked around at all the people eating that disgusting, fattening and fake greasy food. I don't get how people can poison their bodies like that, it's horrifying! Anyway, I said I wanted to get something because I haven't had fast food for three or four months, my body is so clean as of lately it's a nice feeling! Anyway, I didn't get anything because I had healthy food at home. When I got in the car with the food, all I smelt was the greasy, fattening fries and burger. It was so gross it upset my stomach. I could never put that stuff in my body anymore. Once you're committed to being healthy, and eating plants and healthy meats, and cooking your own food, you will loose taste for fast food, trust me!
          I had Panda Express one day, I had chicken and green beans with mixed vegetables, and when I started eating it my stomach was like, "NO! Stop eating this gross food!", my stomach was upset the whole day at work, I shouldn't have eating it. I'm committed to not eating out, and eating healthy and at home instead! Except for subs, like Subway and Jimmy John's, they are my favorite! At Subway I get the 6" 9-grain wheat bread, and pile on all the veggies they have, except jalapenos! And at Jimmy John's I get the vegetarian on the 7-grain wheat bread, with no mayo. Those two are my favorite subs, I could eat them everyday, they are so filling and healthy!
