I tried almond milk for the first time today. Honestly, I didn’t hate is as much as I thought I would. I had it in a mocha, and I could definitely taste the nutty flavour, but I didn’t find it overpowering or disgusting. Honestly, besides the fact that my mocha tasted like somebody put a bit of a 7-11 nut mix in there, I don’t think I’d even notice the milk was fake or that anything was different
weight loss I spose
I started trying to do a calorie deficit thingy today (editor’s note: Baku means yesterday, Thursday). I had a naughty midnight HSP, so it’s barely a deficit, mostly just a break even, but that’s gonna be the end of them for a while. I don’t talk about my weight very often because honestly I am deeply ashamed of my weight, genuinely carry a level of despite and disgust towards myself over it, and it’s the main reason I would never consider meeting anybody from here (hard to trust anybody else to not care if I myself, care too much)
It’s not a new years resolution, I’ve just been deeply unhappy about it for fucking years, and now that I’m finally somewhere at least somewhat safe and secure, I feel like I can finally safely work on my mental and physical health
Today ran about a 300cal deficit, if my phone’s built in pedometer is anywhere near accurate. Otherwise, about a 200 surplus. Oh well. It’ll take more than that to defeat me. I worked on some calf strengthening exercises so that I can manage longer walks. I much prefer a long, slow burn over half an hour of intense cardio or whatever
This is probably the only time I’ll mention it for a while. I know what I’m in for, that there’s usually a plateau, and there’ll be plenty of bad or challenging days. But I’ll be off in the background trying my best
If anybody’s ever wondered what my vice is, since I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, dislike butter, and am barely affected by caffeine, it is, and always has been, overeating, a poor diet, and an over reliance on sweet things for comfort
I don’t need advice, I kind of just wanted to get it off my chest. That is my darkest secret, and the thing I dislike most about myself. Maybe sharing it will make me less nervous about sharing other things. Who knows
Your relationship with your body is complicated. That’s okay. You have an opportunity now to reset it and coexist with yourself on terms you like better 🙂
Unsweetened almond milk comes in at the lowest amount of calories. Followed by unsweetened coconut milk. Skim milk and unsweetened soy milk are tied. Then “1%” cows milk, followed by unsweetened rice milk, and then full cream cows milk at most calories. Source
I dunno, I’m pretty shit at tasting anything that isn’t overwhelmingly strong. I usually double garlic, ginger, and other spices in cooking so that I can at least partially taste it. That’s probably the only reason I didn’t find the almond overwhelming

That’s a great start! Any small steps towards health and fitness have the potential to become big steps.

You’re making positive steps mate, there’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about! Good luck to you, you’ve got this ❤️
But almond milk is so meh IMO, soy or oat for me (oat no good for cutting calories though and I don’t pay attention to soy vs cow calories).
Thanks Indi, very much appreciated!
