Got a BED after going from obese to overweight.

I initally didn't feel happy with myself anymore and wanted to get slimmer. It worked, lost almost 20kg, but then some personal stuff happened, and maybe I was just too strict for too long, but this is where I really got the psychological side effects, the feeling of loss of control, KNOWING what I'm doing is undoing my progress.

Like, I clearly had the control before? Where did it go!?? I know this isn't super uncommon because our brains are like that, but ughh, now I'm gaining weight again and I feel absolutely unable to change this.

Hope this post is allowed. Hugging all of my fellow sufferers 💕

'Tis the weirdest cat I've known in my life

So, it's not my cat. I don't know who's it is. My village isn't super big, but this dude has a huge territory. He's so loud, he meows so much, which I love, until it gets actually unbearable sometimes. He loves getting stremtched, he is super social and rubs against everything all the time, he also suckles when he gets comfy and randomly meows sometimes even when almost asleep. He NEVER gets tired of getting pet, even when he's asleep.

I let him stay when he comes, I let him leave when he desires, I kick him out when I have to go and no one is home.

When my cat was still alive, he'd sneak into the house, which we tried to avoid, but he just did what he wanted, rummaged through her food and left. I absolutely don't feed other people's cats, but I just simply couldn't stop this sneaky mf.

I might have to upload some videos of him in action. He is the purest essence of orange cat.

One stew and two breads for around 5€

To be fair though I had fat at home, some butter and olive oil from my dad.

I got 3 onions for, 3 carrots, a jar of chickpeas, a big porree leek for 69ct, 500ml tomato passasta for 69ct, 1kg of wheat flour for 85ct and a 15ct block of fresh yeast.

My haul was 4,82€, also got a bell pepper I haven't used yet

I made a stew, used the veggie scraps to make a quick stock, fried the chickpeas, sautéed onion, carrot and porree, added passata, some stock and the chickpea brine, salt and pepper, and added chickpeas back in, the simmeres a bit.

For the breads I just made two doughs, one more hydrated to be focaccia like, that one got 100ml of passata to give it some extra flavour. The other I rolled somewhat flat and put leek on top, plus some olive oil. Both breads were great for dipping in the stew.

Yeah I already had most of the stew and some bread, I forgot to take pictures.
