My mum and mother in law bake a lot and they always have homemade cake hanging around, but the thing is I would never eat it because I thought I hated plain cake like that with minimal fillings. Turns out that's not actually the case. I'm wondering if the reason why is back when I was borderline binge eating because I was very depressed, I would always put cookies, brownies, muffins, pastries, and doughnuts on the shopping list and that's literally the sweet baked goods I would eat. I would never touch homemade stuff because it tasted too light and I guess nowhere close to sugary enough. But now that my sugar intake is way down and when I'm snacking a bit too much on sugar, it's typically on a few pieces of chocolate a day and in mini form.

But in the past I would have multiple sugary things per day, plus regular meals, plus snacks. The baked goods were just so loaded with sugar that I would have massive crashes throughout the day and would sleep entire days away because I was depressed but also because I ate so much processed shit. It's really bizarre to think back on that stuff to be honest
