Back in ye ol days of October I went on a mushroom foraging class with some classmates. And of course, there was a snack break. And ond girl brought hummus and carrot sticks. I was craxy jealous. I genuinely thought "I'll never be able to do that"
While I still believe carrot sticks are crazy gross. I can officially say I haven't just had one cucumber and hummus meal, but multiple. Whenever I want a crunchy snack, I go there. Multiple times for breakfast, snack, even as a replacement for binging on chocolates I can eat cucumbers and hummus.
BUT it comes with the added benefit of me being a smug asshole about it. Because guess who finds typically healthy boring food good now, idiots.
This same phenomena happens whenever I eat something I used to think I'd never be able to enjoy. I had salad in a wrap, normal salad, peas and carrots and noodles without it literally dripping in sauce
But on the flip side, I'm also starting to see improvements. It started with Skittles. I've gained some vegan friends, but I like to offer food whenever people come over, so I bought them skittles. But it quickly turned into an oh no, I'm binging on these skittles, but somehow, someway. They started giving me a headache. Like a really bad headache. And you know how people get that thing with alcohol where they just can't drink it anymore, that's skittles now
But I've also started realizing other things. Chocolate doesn't make me feel good, neither does anw, which I used to eat at least once a week. Eating four donuts is actually much much worse compared to eating just one, or even half of one.
I can actually feel my actions shifting since I've figured this out. I'm genuinely not into fast food anymore, not like I used to be. Even when old habits take over and convince me I'll like it, I tend to rethink the decision afterwards. Cause I don't feel good.
Just as a side note, a huge part of why hummus and cucumbers are so great is that they're easy as hell to prepare and store in advance. You just take a whole cucumber and slice it up, put them into a reusable container. Take a piece of paper towel, wet and squeegee it. Put it on top of the cucumbers and put it on top of the hummus in the fridge. It's lasted up to two weeks, I've always eaten them by then, so no clue on max shelf life. It's also super affordable since an entire cucumber is $1 and hummus (which lasts 4 cucumbers) is $4 (Apparently making your own is also easy and cheap). And then I put it in the front of my fridge.
I'm also starting to get slightly bored of my hummus, so lmk if there's any other spreads you reccomend for cucumbers
