--- I apologize for not posting in a while,,, things have been absolutely awful at home recently :( buuut I think everything is finally getting a bit better, so I had enough energy to make my food look cute today ^-^
Pear is one of my absolute favorite fruit ever!!! It's so sweet and the texture is so lovely! I just chopped it into cubes and ate it with some plain yogurt (if you don't like the taste, you could have it with low-fat flavoured yogurt!) It was like having dessert for lunch :D
I hope everyone's been alright and your life isn't falling apart like mine is ;-; I adore you and please eat something today and drink lots of water and take care ≽ܫ≼₊˚⊹♡

--- You can barely see the vegetables in the omelette omgs but I swear it's there ;-; okay SO basically I simmered the vegetables in a pan with verryy little water until they softened, then let the water evaporate before pouring the eggs and adding cheese before folding it into an omelette ^-^ The vegetables can be changed based on your preference (mushrooms, peppers, etc) but I just used what we had leftover in the fridge :3 The vegetables have a lot of fibre and the eggs and cheese have protein and fats so this meal keeps me full for very, veryyyy long and is very satisfying! :D I usually have it for dinner since it helps me not to binge or crave sweet stuff throughout the night ♡
Side note,,, I have been OBSESSED with bananas recently omggsss >.< and my grandma bought THREE boxes just because she saw how much I loved it ahh !! <3
Make sure you drink water and eat something (even if it's just a snack) today! Ily sm and I hope you have a lovely day/night ₊˚⊹♡
I just got congratulated at the bar for losing 130 pounds by people I’ve talked to maybe twice before. Eating disorders are wild I feel so validated by these strangers that know nothing else about me.
