All I want is bread.

This is not news, necessarily. I’ve always been this way.

Like, I’ll never get the keto diet or just diets in general because they deprive you of one of the Lord’s most purest gifts.

I ate an entire loaf of focaccia in two days, in two sittings. No one helped me. Well, maybe you can consider the baby in my belly as a helper, but she didn’t have much say in the matter. In the moment, I wasn’t shocked. Like, of course I’m going to finish this loaf, I don’t want it to go to waste nor do I want to share. So, that leaves me no choice. It wasn’t until about an hour or so later when I realized I might have gone too hard on the bread after trying to simply walk up the stairs.

You live & learn, however, I will keep living & stuffing myself with bread & not learning my limits.
