80 Calorie Pancake Recipe~✨💛

Y’all ain’t even READY FOR THIS….

Here’s the ingredients:

¼ tsp baking powder - 0cal

¼ tsp salt - 0cal

2 tbsp flour - 50cal (the one I use is all purpose and 25cal per tbsp)

3 tbsp egg whites - 25cal (I use egg beaters but you can choose to use whatever you want)

A couple packets of a 0cal sweetener - 0cal

1 tbsp Mrs. Butterworths sugar free syrup - 5cal

^^(THIS SYRUP IS A BLESSING, it’s 20cal for ¼ cup but I only used a tbsp so the calories are SUPER LOW💕)

Directions:

Heat up a pan of your choosing, doesn’t really matter the size.

Measure out your ingredients and put them into a bowl.

Mix your ingredients, I prefer to use a rubber spatula over a whisk because I can scrape off the ingredients that like to stick to the bowl.

Use water, 0cal cooking spray, or whatever you like to make sure your pancakes don’t get stuck to the pan.

Put some batter in the pan and YOU’RE COOKING, BABY

With this recipe, I made 3 pancakes of a satisfying size so don’t fear 🙌

Once you’ve finished cooking all your pancakes, add your syrup and BOOM!!! BREAKFAST~~

Finished product:

THIS ENTIRE PLATE IS 80 CALORIES. IM SERIOUS. WHOLE BREAKFAST. 80 CALORIES. YOU CAN EVEN ADD SOME FRUIT TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING.

I love this recipe so much because even on bad days I can cook up an easy satisfying breakfast without making myself want to cry because of the calories. Hopefully you guys like it too, stay safe and happy cooking!! ✨💕

i have to stop worrying about day to day fluctuations so much. if it goes higher than the day before i'm like 800x time more likely to binge and ruin everything.

i need to get in my head that there are days when i havent peed yet or i dont feel like shitting but it's making me heavier or just general body water retention. the main point is i have been eating in a pretty big calorie deficit, and even rounding my meals up SO the results will come. you're gonna be skinny just keep doing that and r e l a x

i slept and i peed and im 149.4 goddamn

[lazypetals]

we're back at school bitches and i've been up to my walking all day and staying under my cal limit. let's fucking go. xmas break at home was just full of food and people and i wasn't weighing myself or bodychecking and yeah it was nice and i'm fortunate to have that, but in the back of my mind i felt like shit because i knew that i'd regret every bite of cannoli from that new bakery and eating sandwiches until my stomach felt like it was gonna explode and huge scoops of vanilla ice cream with extra chocolate chips (that i willingly added cause i'm fucking fat) once i got back to school and had more awareness of my body.

it sounds bad but it feels so good. i missed ed youtube. i missed weighing myself every hour and checking my waistline after every sip of water. bodychecking whenever i pee or just getting the urge to bodycheck and going to my mirror to life my shirt up. it's so comforting because i finally know i can do it. i plateaued so hard from 2020 to the first few months of 2021. i was like 160-165 for most of that time. then i got my shit together and it started working, and i finished off my semester and went home in the low 150s and i was so amped. but i went home for 4 months. and i went back to 163 JUST IN TIME TO GO ON MY FIRST SLEEPOVER COTTAGE TRIP AND TOOK PICTURES IN BIKINIS WITH MY FRIENDS THAT THEY ALL POSTED. and they're all so skinny and have those vertical belly buttons and honestly the pics weren't terrible but i look like an absolute blob but i wasn't gonna say that and stop them from posting because that would just make me stand out more. anyway september rolled around, i was back at school, then my grandma died, school was busy and i was just straight up not vibing.

but october -> december.......... im in love. december 2nd 2021. i saw the 140s for the first time since i was 15 years old. my lowest weight ever was around that time, beginning of 2017 when i was delivering newspapers every week and walking like crazy to high school and back. it was 138 pounds. if i could get back to something even close to that i would cry. december 2nd 2021 though was 149.8 pounds. and honestly? i was ecstatic. i bought a scale off facebook marketplace because i couldn't handle being away from the one i had at home and not knowing my weight. december 2nd i met that girl in front of a subway and i practically ran home i was so fucking excited. and to see my lowest weight in literally years, breaking below the 150s.... im still giddy.

I KNOW I CAN DO IT AGAIN. again, unfortunately winter break happened and i left home on jan 17th somewhere around 154 again. but that's okay. because i was 151.4 yesterday/last night and that's exactly where i was on november 27th 2021.

and actually i'm gonna weigh myself right now.

151.2!!!! AND I HAVENT EVEN POOPED IN 2 DAYS OR SLEPT YET IT'S LITERALLY 7:15 AM

im manifesting this for me. i have basically nothing to eat in my fridge or cupboard. the only food i really have rn is:

- assorted bag of oh henry/reese cups/cookies and creme

-cottage cheese

-carton of eggs

-3 cheesestrings

-a small sleeve of 8 crackers

-some cream cheese

-cans of 100cal chicken noodle soup

-some frozen broccoli

-frozen fries

-frozen fish

-hot chocolate powder (i deserve it fuck off)

-teaaaaa

-also some more frozen english muffins (160cal) and other dry pasta to be cooked, tuna cans, just other assorted low cal stuff that takes too much effort to make

it couldn't be easier. when i go in for my lab tomorrow i'm gonna get some cucumbers, cold cut slices (usually like 20-30cal per slice), and cherry tomatoes on the way home. those are my all time safe foods i'm telling you like 2 cold cut slices 2 baby cucumbers and im full for hours it's fucking magical.

wish me luck i cannot WAIT

(i just dont wanna lose all my ass though thats the only thing i have going for me) (it seems fine so far) (but id much prefer finally having skinny arms instead of my stupid thick meaty forearms and basically bingo wings over an ass any day)

peace

UNDERRATED SAFE FOOD

never hear people talking about laughing cow cheese. the little triangle portions are only 25 cal (light version). they’re so creamy and taste good with carrots, cucumbers, celery, bell peppers, you name it.

10/10 would recommend.

not me putting ‘blood donation’ as exercise in mfp

[lazypetals]

 one week later. i take back everything i said. it seems impossible at home. everything revolves around food. there is so much of it, everywhere. i don’t have the self-control to stop myself from binging. i don’t even want to call it binging because it’s not. i’m just eating all the time and pushing the thoughts of the calories away. i can’t bring myself to open mfp because i just want to EAT. one week later and it’s looking grim. sitting in my bed here at 2am, it seems easy to look back at what i said a week ago and say, ‘why not? why can’t i just stick to the plan?’ but everything is in reach. everything is free. my fatal flaw. at my uni house, i purchase only the exact quantity of food i want to eat in the week. i manage it to a T. when i want to eat at school, i really only see the numbers. how many calories is this teaspoon of cottage cheese? if the whole container cost me 3.29, plus the 10% discount applied then this serving is 0.74 cents. everything is necessity, i optimize everything i do, i track every aspect.

at home, that all seems to go out the window. food no longer has a monetary strain on me. i don’t need to walk for 40 minutes or take a bus to get my groceries. i don’t even have to get in the car. it’s all right there, everything i could want, in the cupboard.

i see a lot of posts about binges. about holding out all day and then eating 3,000 calories at night. and i had this false sense of superiority, thinking “i’m proud of myself. i don’t do that. i set my limits and stick to them, and if i do go over it’s very minimal, and always far enough under my TDEE that i’m still losing a decent amount of weight this week”

but now, i regret that pedestal i put myself on. it’s not that i’m immune to it. i just set up my house perfectly to avoid it, like a safe space. everything i have has a serving size under 60-70 calories, most being less than that. i like to have one dark chocolate bar accessible, with squares that are 48 calories each as a ‘treat’ on some nights. for the rest of the day, i hold out until 4, 5, 6pm before allowing something like a small serving of a rice cake (35) with a slice of a buddig brand cold cut (9) and some mustard (1). or i’ll keep a large cucumber (45) by me while i work and munch away freely. or many other strange food habits that i can support because no one else browses through my fridge shelf/pantry, and no one else sees me eat.

but at home. everyone does work or uses the laptop at the kitchen table. my mom is only either on the couch watching a show or cooking something in the kitchen. or on her laptop at the kitchen table. i can’t just stay in my room all day without anyone noticing that i haven’t eaten before 7pm. i can’t come down and make a lipton cup a soup (50) as my OMAD.

i miss going to bed to the sound of my stomach groaning. i miss feeling empty. i miss going to bed excited that i can measure my waist the next morning and have faith that it’ll be smaller, even if it’s 0.1 of an inch. i miss how i felt 9 days ago, eager to come home because i knew i’d be lighter. now i loathe the scale and i don’t even want to look at it because i have no faith that it’ll show me something good.

i want to go back. i want that sense of control. that sense of hope that things are improving every day. i was excited to come home to see my boyfriend. i saw him today. but i couldn’t find anything that i thought i looked good in. i feel like i look so much fatter than the last time he saw me. i lost 7.6 pounds between april to may, but in just a week i gained 2.7. i want to just look at it and say “okay. i fucking hate those 2.7 pounds for coming back. but that’s still 4.9 pounds. we can do it again. we can be lighter than that lower weight when you first got home.” but i’ve been working and the summer semester is ramping up and i just don’t know if i have the stamina and willpower to do it all. food brings me comfort and calms my stress. why did i sign up to do all of these things. i just want to hibernate for the summer. no one bother me, no obligations, i just want to lie in bed on youtube for 4 months and then walk out of my room skinny. the life i live in between my sleeps doesn’t seem to support this goal at all.

i need to try harder. i’m GOING TO DO IT. the way that i felt today, going to see my boyfriend, getting dressed and having to wear jeans and a huge sweatshirt. i can’t keep doing this. i want to lose weight more than my lack of willpower is setting me up to fail. let’s look at some good things. i rode my stationary bike for 15 minutes today. i walked my dogs with my boyfriend, we walked 1.6 kilometres. i can keep that up. i held off snacking (well i had 3 baby dill pickles (6cal)) until my mom made dinner that i had to eat. i drank a lemon water before bed to fill me and satisfy cravings. i did not eat any of the chicken wings that she made my brother for dinner later at night. these are all good things. i still definitely overate today, but i know i can keep including these good things and work to stop the bad ones. we have to keep going. if i don’t, i will never love myself.

when i wake up, it’ll probably be late in the day. i have to submit my work for this internship in the morning (i’m aiming for noon). i think i might have to stay up really late. then i’ll have to sleep in and i’ll miss a lot of the snacking and binging window, and i’ll just have to eat dinner with my family, if my mom even makes anything at night.

new plans have to change while i’m home. i need new goals. i’ve decided to set a goal of biking on the stationary bike for 60 minutes each day, and walking my dogs outside for about 20 minutes each day as well. absolute MAX calories is 850, but i’d like to stay below 600 when i can. with these rules, in the absolute worst case scenario (850 cal every day, no exercising), i can be at my UGW BY SEPTEMBER. if i stick to it (~500, moderate exercise), i can be at my UGW BY the beginning of JULY. (ps. my boyfriend’s birthday is in mid july. we can go on a beach birthday date and i can be SKINNY in a BIKINI if i fucking stick to this holy shit) (and that’s LESS THAN TWO MONTHS of heavy restricting and intense exercise. if i can’t sacrifice 2 months for the only thing i’ve wanted so badly, then i will never do it. i will never love myself. IM SO FUCKING HYPED CAN WE DO THIS????)

WE ARE NOT OFF TRACK. WE ARE ON SCHEDULE. TODAY IS A NEW DAY.

i just weighed myself today after eating a bunch with my family AND drinking a ton of water and i was still 7.6 pounds lighter than the last time i weighed myself. god it feels so good. i was discouraged coming home because i know i'll have trouble controlling myself around all the high calorie snacks and frozen treats my brother keeps buying but i know i can do it. i just need to keep up my mindset and keep tracking my calories. PLUS now i have an excuse to force myself to walk because my dogs need to go out often. AND we have a stationary bike and some weights at home so i can work out. and the scale is also here. i miss sitting in bed all day and keeping my calories low around 500 without anyone watching me at my student house, but if i control myself and only eat when my family expects me to, i think i can still eat around 900-1000 here and exercise a lot more so it should balance out.

i can't wait to be skinny 😌

♡ appetite suppressants ♡

⟡ lemon ⟡ the polyphenols in lemon may aid in reducing appetite and prevents weight gain. ⟡ water ⟡ when you drink a glass of water, especially before a meal, this helps to fill your stomach, offsetting the amount of food needed to feel satisfied ⟡ peppermint ⟡ the smell of peppermint reduces appetite and increases satiety. peppermint has also been linked to greater alertness, performance, and motivation. ⟡ cayenne pepper ⟡ just a half of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper along with a meal can help suppress appetite and burn calories. subjects also had reduced appetites and a decreased craving for salty, fatty, or sweet foods. ⟡ cinnamon ⟡  this new research discovered that cells treated with cinnamaldehyde ( a compound of cinnamon ) started expressing more metabolism-boosting genes and enzymes. the cinnamon compound prompted fat cells to keep on burning instead of going into storage, ⟡ ginger ⟡ ginger is a metabolism booster. it also helps promote feelings of satiety,according to several studies. ⟡ apples ⟡ apples are packed with fiber and water, so your stomach will want less food. ⟡ apple cider vinegar ⟡ the acetic acid suppresses your appetite, increases your metabolism, makes you feel satiated, and reduces water retention.  the amino acids also act as an antidote to lactic acid build-up, which may cause fatigue. dilute 1-2 tbsps in 8oz of water to drink! ⟡ dark chocolate ⟡  the flavonoids in dark chocolate help reduce insulin resistance, which prevents spikes in blood-sugar levels, discouraging you from overeating—even smelling it can curb your appetite.

struggling because i want to weigh myself so badly. last time i did was when i was home from uni a few months ago and i don’t have a scale at my student house. i feel like i can see differences in pictures and the way my body looks and feels and i’ve really kept up the calorie deficit like mad and been WALKING like 6 kilometres a day but i also can’t be sure because ~~dysmorphia~~

i just wanna be S K I N N Y i can’t wait to go home next week and see what the scale says

[lazypetals]

why do you keep everyones promises but your own?

didn't you promise yourself you were gonna get skinny?

didn't you promise yourself you wouldn't binge anymore?

with all of the promises you've broken with yourself you wouldn't even want to be friends with you anymore

keep your fucking promises. you gotta finish what you started.

(this is me talking to me not pro)
