🍫 Day 20 – Build Your Intentional Treat Plate
We’re getting close to the end of our challenge — and today is about applying what you’ve learned. So here’s your prompt: If you were to create a treat plate or dessert board — one that feels aligned, satisfying, and intentional — what 3 things would you include on it? Think: 🍓 A sweet you genuinely enjoy 🍫 Something fun or nostalgic 🌰 Something that adds texture or balance (fruit, nuts, dark chocolate, etc.) There’s no right or wrong — just awareness. You’ve spent the last 3 weeks tuning into your cravings, your patterns, and your power to choose. This is a chance to put that into practice with joy, not judgment. 💬 Your turn: Tell us your 3 treat plate picks! 📸 Bonus: Post a pic of your plate or a dessert board you’ve made before.

I wanna do this but I don’t understand the directions. 3 treats that are all aligned and intentional? And what does that mean exactly?

@Charissa Lim the one’s that popped into my mind are Fruit: peaches or mangos. Velvety/juicy texture Indulgent Highnote: Eclair/tiramisu/ice cream for creaminess Finishing: something crunchy and grounding like chocolate covered nuts I guess I can’t just pick 3!
🍭 Day 18 – How Does Your Energy & Mood Shift After Eating Sweets?
Let’s check in with how your body and mind respond after you eat something sweet. Do you feel energized, sluggish, satisfied, guilty, happy… or maybe a mix of things? There’s no right or wrong answer — just information. And building awareness is a powerful step toward more intentional choices. 👉 Some questions to reflect on: - How do you feel 10 minutes after eating something sweet? - How do you feel an hour later? - Does the TYPE of sweet or the AMOUNT make a difference? - How do your emotions (stress, joy, boredom) play into the experience? ✨ This isn’t about judging yourself — it’s about understanding your patterns so you can make choices that actually feel good in your body. 💬 Your Turn: How does your energy or mood shift after sweets? 👇 Share in the comments — your insight might help someone else recognize a pattern too!

Initially sweets make me happy, about an hour later I'm sleepy. Emotionally sometimes I'm confused as to how I went from not even thinking about them to consuming them so quickly. That usually happens when I'm somewhere with limited options and the only thing I'm excited about is the sweet stuff. I try to eat ahead of time and to slow down enough to check in with myself to see if I truly want it but sometimes I don't think about it much until it's in my belly. I don't feel guilty. It's more like I feel tricked.
🍬 Day 17 – What’s a Small Sweet That Still Feels Satisfying?
Let’s shift the focus from QUANTITY to ➡️ QUALITY. Today’s challenge is about finding that just-right sweet — the kind that doesn’t need to be “earned,” doesn’t leave you stuffed, but still makes you smile. 🍫 Maybe it’s one square of rich dark chocolate 🍓 A few fresh strawberries dipped in whipped cream 🍪 Half a cookie savored slowly with tea ☕ Or a sweetened latte that feels cozy and comforting Sometimes, just a taste is enough to feel fully satisfied — especially when we SLOW DOWN, stay present, and actually enjoy it. 💬 Today’s Prompt: What’s a small portion of something sweet that still hits the spot for you? You might just give someone the idea they didn’t know they needed today.

@Charissa Lim im going to try this. Not the sharing part :-) but rather the slowing down with water sips. Because I too love tiramisu and almost always want more when I’m done with me slice.
🍓 Day 16 – Share a “Satisfying but Not Stuffed” Dessert
Let’s talk satisfaction — not the kind that leaves you unbuttoning your jeans, but the kind that hits the sweet spot just right. ⠀ The goal? A dessert that tastes delicious, feels intentional, and leaves you energized instead of overfull. ⠀ This is the sweet spot where food feels like self-care — not a regret. Here are a few ideas to spark your creativity: ✨ Unsweetened plain Greek yogurt + berries + a drizzle of honey ✨ A square of dark chocolate ✨ Warm banana with cinnamon + peanut butter ✨ Chia pudding with coconut milk and mango ✨ Steamed milk with cocoa and cinnamon ⠀ The trick is to slow down, enjoy every bite, and check in with your body: “Do I feel satisfied?” instead of “Is the bowl empty?” 🔁 Your turn: 💬 Share your “satisfying but not stuffed” dessert in the comments! 📸 Bonus points if you post a photo inside the group.

The banana with peanut butter can work. I never thought of warming it.

@Sarah Boomgaarden would a smoothie work? My indulgent one is whatever kind of milk, banana, peanut butter (real or powdered) and a chocolate syrup. And about 4 ice cubes. It’s quite filling because of the banana and peanut butter and my mind thinks it’s having an ice cream shake. Sometimes I’ll use a pre ought chocolate protein shake as the base instead of milk. Those taste even better because they’re sweetened but it has more protein so I feel like the jack is more balanced
Day 13 – Try a 'Sweet' Breakfast That Keeps You Full Until Lunch 🍓
Let’s talk sweet breakfasts — and how to make them work for you, not against you. You don’t have to give up sweet flavors to eat in a way that supports your energy, mood, and cravings throughout the day. The key is pairing sweetness with protein, fiber, and healthy fats — the trio that helps keep your blood sugar stable and your belly satisfied until lunch. ✨ Why this matters: When we start the day with mostly refined carbs (think pastries, sugary cereals, even some “healthy” smoothies), we get a quick spike in energy… followed by a crash. Cue the mid-morning cravings, hanger, and decision fatigue. 🍳 Try this instead: Here are some sweet-but-balanced breakfast ideas to experiment with today: - Greek yogurt bowl with berries, chia seeds, and a spoonful of nut butter - Oatmeal made with milk, stirred in protein powder or Greek yogurt, and topped with cinnamon apples - Chia pudding layered with coconut milk, sliced banana, and hemp seeds - High-protein smoothie with frozen fruit, spinach, protein powder, and avocado or flaxseeds Each option hits that sweet craving while giving your body the nourishment it needs to keep you going strong until lunch. 💬 Your turn: What sweet breakfast did you try today — or what’s one you’d like to? How did it make you feel? Did it hold you over? Share your wins, swaps, or questions below 👇 You’re doing so well — keep leaning into curiosity and intention over restriction. Let’s continue this challenge strong!
