Dozens and dozens of comments yesterday on my post about fast food addiction. Needless to say, I am totally blown away by the love and care you all have shown me. A bunch of strangers on the Internet, offering advice and recipes and check-in on my mental health.
You all are just amazing. I woke up today feeling as invigorated as ever to go a day without eating trash! “I have free will, I don’t need that salty sugary addictive profit driven poison.” I was telling myself.
I went to the grocery store and got everything I needed for a ChatGPT recipe of basic chili. I added tons of diced mushrooms and spinach to a base of black beans and crushed tomatoes. I absolutely destroyed my two servings, and have two whole bowls in the fridge for tomorrow and the following day!
I did have a Dr Pepper, but I believe in baby steps.
Your chili suggestion was so good! The advice I loved the most is to make food I enjoy reheated. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s chili serving.
A PB&J tonight before I go to bed, and I think I’ll be good for today. So far my belly is happy and full on food I know is good for me.
Thank you all so much. I feel seen and loved. <3

Hmmm looks so good
When you get tired of chili, you can try making Asian food. I Make a really good pork rib potato that takes a few hours but reheats well for the whole week
Hell yeah! I was actually thinking about your post this morning (and how relatable it was). This chili looks awesome. You should keep sharing with us meals you make that you enjoy!
Thanks. You’ve inspired me to want to make chili now!
So happy for you!! Chili looks delish, awesome job today. Seriously, congrats. Literally day 1 from advice & you jumped on it!!
