Bread Baking Attempt

The other day I just got a second hand microwave oven online ar $25! It was such a good deal because its reslly big, but a little old. It was 4 years old.

Ok so today i tried it out and tried to bake bread! I failed hehe.. The outside was too hard but inside was not too bad.. Well first timer!

So I tried to do a wholemeal plain bread, with half bread flour and half wholemeal. I think my dough was too dry though thats why it failed.

Ok truth be told it was because I didnt really follow the recipe strictly... I like to adventure hehe you cant blame me! Well one day I will succeed. Maybe not today but one day.

5 TIPS FOR BAKING HEALTHIER BREAD

1. You actually only need yeast, flour and water
2. You can use oatmeal flour and wholemeal flour along side with normal flour
3. You can make oatmeal flour by grinding oats
4. Anti stick trays help to reduce the need for cooking spray
5. Follow the recipe. (HEHEHEH)

Alternatives to self-harm

Hello!

Well today's gonna be a little different because yeah, it's not about eating habits but rather more on self harm and depression and mood. Many of us actually do have depression coupled with our eating disorder because it's all linked. Well, in my opinion, the eating habits are the easier ones to tackle while the depression... It's gonna be a little harder because you can force feed someone but you cant force them to be happy.

So I know there are lots of posts on this topic but really how many actually do work? Well I've collated some I think is more effective (rather than like "read a book", I mean really how's that gonna help remove your emotions?)

ALTERNATIVES TO RELEASE YOUR EMOTIONS : 

1. Crush paper
2. Squeeze a stress ball
3. Punch your pillow
4. Play basket ball
5. Run or Jog
6. Play a game that pisses you off even more (Well it works for me. I end up laughing)
7. I once made a cardboard doll and harmed it instead of myself....

Ok I've got nothing much. But channel your ENERGY to something that requires physical movement. That will be your outlet. I mean yeah maybe reading a book works for some but when I get mad or upset I feel really really restless and I need to move about or do something that requires movement or I'll just like explode. 

Either way, whenever you want to self harm remember that the scars won't look nice. Remember your clean days streak. Think of how your parents and friends won't want you to do that. Think how will self harming help you in your problems? All you need is an outlet, and self harming isn't a solutions, self harming is your outlet. But choose another outlet because self harming is not worth it. And most importantly if you believe in the bible,

Leviticus 19:28New International Version (NIV) : “‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.1 Corinthians 6:19-20New International Version (NIV) : Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.Therefore honor God with your bodies.
