…and I am feeling disproportionate joy. Who knew something so simple would make such a big difference? I want to bake cupcakes for everyone now!
Anyway, this is my midnight snack! They are cherry chip cupcakes + almond cream cheese frosting. What flavors should I make next?
My mom bought me a box of the new Strawberry Cheesecake Pop Tarts to try. Who knew she had her finger on the pulse like that?!
I toasted some today and they were actually pretty good. They smell exactly like strawberry NutriGrain bars to me and kind of taste like them too. Luckily, I like strawberry NutriGrain bars, so I’m okay with that!
There was a decent amount of filling, though not a ton of cream cheese flavor. The strawberry definitely dominates. The most interesting part was the crust. It had a really convincing graham cracker flavor that I wasn’t expecting at all and seemed drier and crunchier than usual.
My three year old tried them too and immediately asked for a second bite, so I guess that means they passed the toddler test.
I’d give them a 6.5/10, with buttered blueberry still holding strong as my 10/10 gold standard.
I started my tirz journey about two months ago and have lost 10 pounds so far.
One of my wishes for Mother’s Day was to watch a movie by myself, totally uninterrupted. Of course, this momentous occasion required movie snacks. I loaded up a bowl with popcorn, then topped it with butter and cheese powder. I settled in with my movie and snacks, and it was glorious.
But then something weird happened: I could only finish a third of the popcorn, one Haribo peach gummy, and one caramel. Normally, I would’ve eaten the entire bowl and gone back for more candy without even thinking about it.
I keep having these strange little moments of clarity where I realize something has genuinely changed. Most of the time I still feel “normal,” but then I’ll have these flashes where it hits me that the meds really are working. So grateful that my relationship with food is finally shifting and my mind and body feel like they are on the same team!
It’s been about 6 months since I’ve been to DT because the things I buy there are more wants than needs. BUT I always tell my husband I don’t want anything for Mother’s Day, so I’ll just consider these my gifts! Who better to shop for me than me?? 😉
Super happy with my finds today! I’ve been looking for these specific tongue scrapers for at least a year. Ditto on the velvet nails, but I actually already got a huge multipack of similar ones on Amazon, so I just got one set to try.

There were quite a few other things I was looking for that they didn’t have, but I also got some things I wasn’t planning on. Overall it was a good trip!
