A sunbeam or a ray of sunshine, what I try to be and what I try to invite into my life :)

My all-time favourite lunch is a sweet potato with some kind of natural peanut butter topping- sometimes I mix with maple syrup, sometimes cinnamon and apple butter.

I love sweet potato with peanut butter and cinnamon :)

I upped my calorie goal and it made a big difference. I used to just make 1200 calories in a day, now I can barely stop at 1700! Sneaking peanut butter into things is always a delicious way to get those calories :)

OH GOSH YES AN OATMEAL THREAD <3 My favourite is made with water, then I layer on some banana slices, natural peanut butter, flax seeds, and cinnamon, then drizzle maple syrup over the whole thing. It is heaven <3

Artificial sweeteners :) I was so used to using them in coffee and salad dressing and such.

I am in no way trying to insinuate that I believe you are a bad person for thinking the way you do or expressing your feelings. I used to gossip…
