College Chronicles

I was almost out of spoons by the end of Chemistry, my first class of the day. We were reviewing for an exam, which was totally fine. No stress there. The stress? The review packet was ALL problems about counting calories, converting to percentages of calories from fat, comparing calories in fat free foods…. I couldn’t say anything because I’ve already asked for adjustments and if I raise my hand and complain at ever turn… I just can’t. It was just really, really difficult to get through it with a straight face. I had a hard time eating the whole rest of the day- I forced down applesauce at lunch and some beef jerky during Calculus. I’m home now so there’s no more excuses and I’m going to make myself slowly but surely eat. I just wish it hadn’t been the first thing in the morning because it really threw me off and I couldn’t say anything.

Holly Jolly Low-Sugar Cocoa ;u;

Since I can’t have any added sugar in my recovery, and in general it’s just healthier to eat low sugar, here’s what I made and it tastes AWESOME. ((it makes about 16 oz))

-2 packets of no sugar added cocoa

-12 oz water

-2 tablespoons of sugar free Italian Sweet Cream coffee creamer

Stir it up in a glass measuring pitcher thing with a whisk so no gross lumps, microwave it for like 3 minutes, and put it in a thermos.

It’s aweeeeeeeesome.

Nutritional facts for 16 oz:

-130 calories

-14 grams of sugar

-Like 2 or 3 grams of fat? I can’t remember, but I made it with just water and no-sugar creamer, so that’s almost no fat, I think.

It took me an hour to eat 2/3 of a bowl of soup. xD At that point I was so full I just put away the rest!

I have never been able to be full off of 180 calories. I feel AWESOME. ;u; Plus I have some Jello as a treat in a little bit…. ehu.
