breakfast: APPLE OATMEAL – 134 calories 🍏 ½ apple (36 calories) 🍏 ¼ cup of dry oats (82 calories) 🍏 1 teaspoon white sugar (16 calories) 🍏 dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or cardamom (or a mix of those!) 🍏 dash of salt
place the oatmeal in a small pot on medium-low heat. add 1 cup of water (or ½ cup of water if using rolled/quick oats). stir every 30 seconds.
cut the apple into small slices and add to the pot, along with all the spices, the sugar, and the salt. continue stirring and cook until done (approximately 4 minutes for steel-cut oats, 2-3 for rolled/quick oats)
lunch: BREAKFAST BURRITO – 133 calories 🌯 3 egg whites (102 calories; with yolks as well this would be 234 calories)
🌯 1 small (4 inch diameter) corn tortilla (30 calories)
🌯 ¼ teaspoon black pepper (1 calorie)
🌯 salt to taste
place the tortilla in a toaster oven, microwave, or conventional oven on low heat. you aren’t trying to cook it, just warm it up.
separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully (discard the yolks, use them for someone else’s breakfast, or freeze them), place them in a small nonstick pan on medium heat. add the salt and pepper. cook until firm (just a few minutes).
when the eggs are cooked, take the tortilla and place it on a cutting board. spoon the cooked eggs onto the tortilla–in a straight horizontal line, just below the center, with 1 inch left bare on each side. fold both sides in toward the eggs, then take the bottom side and roll it over the eggs, tuck it under them, continue rolling in the same direction until you have a burrito! it might take a few tries to get the hang of it, and if you can’t, then you can just eat it like a taco.
dinner: SAVORY CARROTS – 73 calories 🌱 2 medium carrots, peeled with a knife or vegetable peeler (50 calories) 🌱 ½ teaspoon olive oil (20 calories) 🌱 salt to taste 🌱 ½ tsp of black pepper (3 calories; this is to taste so add more if you want!)
heat a pan on medium-high heat with the olive oil (other oil can be used but won’t taste nearly as good). cut the peeled carrots into pieces–the size doesnt matter as long as it’s all fairly consistant. make sure to discard the end and the tip of each carrot.
put the chopped carrots into the pan and stir. crack pepper over it and add the salt. stir every 30 seconds or so. cook for 5-10 minutes, until they are softer than a raw carrot, but still crisp, and the raw taste is completely gone. eat while hot.
dessert: BLUEBERRY FROZEN YOGURT – 106 calories 🍦 1/3 cup of frozen blueberries (28 calories; make sure the blueberries aren’t covered in crystals of ice–if they are, wash them quickly in cold water to remove the ice, pat dry, and refreeze) 🍦 1/2 cup of plain nonfat greek yogurt (approximately 62 calories; this varies depending on what brand you use!) 🍦 1 teaspoon white sugar (16 calories)
mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon. use the back of the spoon to smash all the blueberries. eat immediately or place in a small tupperware container and freeze for 20-30 minutes. this recipe makes almost 1 cup of frozen yogurt.
🍒 remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day as well! 🍒

Just know that these are really low calorie so it’s easy peasy :3 I know you can do it, and if you do it I want you to submit/send me a ask/send me a message saying that you did
sad but kinda like melancholy like you finished crying and now you feel nothing ~ pet a dog or a cat or a bunny or even your friend on the head gently ~ step outside even if it’s just past your front door and even if it’s just for a few minutes ~ (alternatively open a window or at least the curtain/blinds and look outside for a bit) ~ listen to some sad tunes (or happy tunes if that’s your thing) ~ if you’re having trouble i recommend “sad/spacey” put together by @eruptedvolcano my waifu 🌙 : https://open.spotify.com/user/alexandra24rose/playlist/7bjaLqAMkRCeDiu3BTjw5m ~ drink some tea or hot chocolate ~ talk to your favorite person or the person who’s great at making you feel better
~ click this link: http://kurogiku.tumblr.com/tagged/my-aesthetic ~ or this: http://theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com/clickToGive/ars/home and feel even a lil better knowing you supported a good cause ~ take a bath or shower and then put on a nice smelling lotion ~ put on a face mask (maybe you won’t feel less sad but you’ll feel good knowing you’re taking care of your skin) ~ watch a funny video like a “rip vine” compilation ~ eat your favorite snack ~ write a letter to yourself or your friend or whomever ~ watch your favorite movie ~ put on some comfy clothes and look at old pictures (but the ones that bring back good memories not bad ones) ~~ hey, i feel you, we’re on the same boat. it’s gonna be okay, we’re gonna be okay you just have to believe it. you’re so strong, you’ll get through it. i love you.
once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you’ll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! it’s now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!
