I imagine myself eating it, and I don’t even feel satisfied. A roasted sweet...

Turn your random hobbies into crave-busters or other forms of productivity— when I was in school and had reading or assignments to do, I’d divide them up into ten sections and then paint a nail after each section was complete hahah. I LOVE PAINTING NAILS. So— how does this relate to fitness and health? Well, if I’m craving something I don’t really want to be eating...

Dessert! →
alright, so I wouldn’t indulge in every recipe included in the link— but some of them really are great ideas for spicing up yogurts, etc. (like the first recipe/related image!) if you’re not like me and refined sugar ISN’T your Achille’s heel, the rest of the recipes are probably better than your run of the mill refined sugar loaded sweets!
