Cheat day

To stand up

Sunday.

Since it was a rare day off, I was lounging around at home when I got hungry and opened the fridge.

Chicken breast, bean sprouts, spinach.

“…….”

I’m fed up.

For six weeks, I’ve mostly been eating just these, except for a few meals.

The side dishes my mother sent me are all gone, so it looks like I’ll only be eating brown rice and chicken breast today.

Shall we try what we learned yesterday?

I remember the Chinese-style egg tofu and tomato egg soup that Jujiseung made for me yesterday.

Since I had to take a walk anyway, I decided to do some shopping at the same time.

I quickly threw on some clothes and went to the nearby mart to check out the fresh produce section.

“There’s sundubu.” Eggs.”

I’m debating whether to get a 30-egg carton or a 10-egg carton.

If I think about carrying it, the 10-pack is better, but if I consider the price per unit, the 30-pack is much cheaper.

Since I’ve been cutting down on living expenses, I should buy a pack and eat it diligently.

I put a dozen eggs in the cart and looked for the sauce corner.

I didn’t have the confidence to be as diligent as Jujiseung, so I bought one each of chili oil and oyster sauce.

Now, all that’s left is a tomato or so.

“……Oh.”

The smell of bread wafted from afar.

The smell of freshly baked bread is truly the most comforting in the world.

My heart has become so peaceful.

With my eyes closed, I slowly followed the smell, and before I knew it, various breads appeared before me.

The muffin made with plenty of cream cheese, caramel syrup, and almonds caught my eye first, and even at the discounted price, it’s only 6,500 won for 18 pieces.

“Crazy.”

Even if you eat six pieces per meal, you can have three meals for only 6,500 won.

Because I treated Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin, my living expenses are tight right now, so this is the best option.

If only I didn’t have diabetes.

Suddenly, I turned my eyes and a fresh cream roll cake caught my attention.

The fluffy bread covered in chocolate whipped cream is as adorable as a black cat cradling a kitten.

Moreover, the surface of the bread is also generously sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Seeing the five-colored macarons inside the transparent plastic box, I couldn’t help but drool.

The sight of them sleeping in a line of four looks just like jewels.

“…….”

I can’t bring myself to go home, so I just watch.

Macarons made in places like this aren’t that tasty, and if you’re going to eat them, it’s better to go to a proper place.

But it’s 17,980 won for 20 pieces, isn’t it?

That should be delicious enough, right?

“아. I’m going crazy.

It was a mistake to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach in the first place.

I shook my head vigorously and found the tomato.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

It wasn’t comparable to the meal that Jujiseung made, but it was a decent lunch nonetheless.

I had a satisfying meal with tomato egg soup and egg sundubu, even though I didn’t eat any rice.

After tidying up a bit, I lay down and watched YouTube for a while.

Suddenly stood up.

“Are you serious?”

Five-colored macarons are dancing in my eyes.

Not only the macarons, but also the milk cream balls, walnut pie, cheesecake, and spoonable tiramisu—all the products in the bread corner unfold like a panorama.

Thinking about that strangely makes me hungry.

It’s only been 2 hours since I had lunch, but I’m starving.

“Ah.”

Is this what unrequited love feels like?

I’ve never been passionately in love with someone, but this feeling of constantly thinking about and wanting to see someone to the point of going crazy—could this be what unrequited love feels like?

“Shall we take a look at what’s there?”

As long as we don’t place an order.

I opened the delivery app and searched for bakeries that deliver.

“Red bean paste with cream.” 하아. It looks delicious.

Even plain red bean bread is delicious, but this one with cream is a truly wicked treat.

When soft cream and red bean paste come together, and you add some savory bread and milk, there’s nothing more to envy in the world.

There is much more cream in it than in a typical cream-filled red bean bun, so it can’t possibly taste bad.

“……No.”

I don’t know for sure, but with the bread, red bean paste, and cream, the blood sugar will be extremely high.

I’m so relieved that my reason is still functioning properly.

“Is it Sarada Goroke?”

Putting nostalgic salad between fried bread.

When I was young, if I went to the market with my mother, she would sometimes buy me cabbage salad mixed with ketchup and mayonnaise to put in korokke.

This is definitely delicious.

“No.” No.

Let’s pull ourselves together.

Today is not a cheat day.

I’ve endured so much until now, but I can’t undo everything with a single mistake.

“……You ate something healthy yesterday.”

Come to think of it, I ate such healthy food yesterday, which was my cheat day.

Neither tomato egg soup nor egg sundubu are dishes that raise blood sugar levels.

“Oh, so it’s the day to eat sugar.”

When I think about it, I resisted ice cream on Friday and ate healthy food on Saturday.

Then, eating a little bread today won’t cause any trouble.

“Okay.” You just need to eat bread that doesn’t raise your blood sugar as much. Isn’t castella pretty much healthy?

Castella is a cake that mothers give to their children as a snack.

Surely mothers wouldn’t give their children something unhealthy.

Rather, it might be a health food because it contains nutrients I don’t know about.

I put a small castella in the shopping basket.

Croissant. This is really healthy food. It’s just bread. To Europeans, this is their meal, so it can’t be bad for their health, right?

I chose two croissants.

“Salt bread?” Did you just put salt on the bread?

Wouldn’t this be okay too?

Bread itself is not good for blood sugar, but it’s still better than macarons with monosaccharides.

“White bread is nice.” It’s delicious when you toast it. Whole wheat bread is good for your health too.

I ordered through a delivery app for the first time in ages and then lay down.

The thought that I will soon be able to eat bread makes me excited and brings a smile to my face.

“Let’s really just eat a little bit.” That’s fine.”

It’s a bit unsettling, but I actually lowered my blood sugar by walking even after eating jajangmyeon.

Because you’ve done well for the past six weeks.

The hospital said the trend is good, so if we are careful, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

9 PM.

As soon as I got back from the gym, I lay down on the bed.

Before being diagnosed with diabetes, my sleep schedule was so irregular that I thought I might have insomnia, and I couldn’t achieve deep sleep, waking up every 2 to 3 hours.

These days, I tend to sleep comfortably.

I think it probably got better gradually through my eating habits and exercise.

Side dish store

180,000 subscribers

I accessed the YouTube channel while lying down.

I usually check the YouTube channel frequently to see the comments, views, and subscriber count, but these days, the numbers change every time I look.

Even though I know I’m wasting time getting caught up in the fun, I still keep refreshing.

Are you going to flip this here?

Mint chocolate is crazy, lol

Baek Woo-jin has a meltdown every time Kakao is mentioned, haha.

If I had my way, I would like to give a heart to each and every comment, but there are so many comments that it’s overwhelming.

“The discussion about the set meal is definitely different.”

Just like “We Make Side Dishes for You,” which is uploaded simultaneously on the Banyasikgyeong channel, “How Long Will You Keep Frowning?” is shared on the Jimkkun channel.The response is good, but…

The main driving force behind the growth of my channel right now is “Baekban Debate.”

It was uploaded only to the side dish store, and above all, all four episodes recorded 1 million views.

On the day the 백반 discussion is uploaded, you can find 백반 discussion capture photos on various community sites.

Comments keep coming in like this.

If one more thing goes well here, it seems like rapid growth is possible.

“…….”

The story about the TV station PD that Cha Ji-chan told me earlier is on my mind.

Even though it’s a pilot program, just appearing on TV will be helpful.

Even if we fail, we can experience an environment different from internet broadcasting in advance, and it’s something I can do well, plus, most importantly, I’m with Baek Woo-jin.

It will be less nerve-wracking than performing alone.

“It would be better to do it.”

I am confident that continuing the momentum is a good way to go.

Tomorrow, I’ll ask Baek Woo-jin if he’s willing to appear, and the day after tomorrow, when I visit the gym, I’ll pass the message to Cha Ji-chan.

After finishing my worries and lying down on the bed, I feel a bit hungry.

I simply had dinner with the tomato egg soup I made for lunch and a slice of bread.

I took a deep breath in and out to calm my mind.

If I eat at this hour, everything I’ve done so far will fall apart.

“…….”

It was delicious.

The bread toasted for three minutes in the toaster was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, so it didn’t need any jam or cream cheese at all.

It was so wonderful in itself that it felt a shame to eat the bread and see it diminish.

“아. What are you thinking?

I kept having random thoughts, so I lay down on my side.

I took a deep breath and tried to sleep again, but my hunger grew even stronger.

Should I eat just one?

No. How have you endured until now?

Let’s eat tomorrow.

It shouldn’t go that wrong with just one.

All sorts of thoughts surged up, and I woke up.

“Ha.”

I quietly sat up.

I can’t sleep because I’m hungry.

“I went to the gym today too.”

If you keep making excuses like that, it will never end.

“I didn’t even eat rice for lunch.” I only had a slice of bread for dinner.

Cha Ji-chan and Joo Ji-seung did that.

The reason you feel hungry and crave certain foods is because of a lack of nutrients.

It was said that when blood sugar suddenly drops, the reason for the increased appetite is to obtain the missing glucose.

“I really didn’t eat enough carbs today.”

I turned on the light, got up, and headed to the kitchen.

“Let’s just eat one.”

I put a slice of bread in the toaster and waited, and soon the smell of bread filled the kitchen.

I placed just a piece of bread on the plate and started eating it without any jam or cream cheese.

The rich aroma that enriches the heart.

It is a perfect dish with a crispy yet chewy texture, lacking nothing at all.

Rather, if jam, sauce, meat, or vegetables are added, it’s hard to fully enjoy the taste of the bread, so I prefer to eat it as it is.

“Should I eat just one more?”

The worry didn’t last long.

Eating one more piece won’t cause any major problems.

“……Should I eat just one more?”

You can just walk after eating.

“Should I eat just one more?”

You just need to walk a bit more.

Even though there was a rational thought that this shouldn’t be happening, I didn’t care much.

Once the appetite was unleashed, it continued, and after eating the fourth slice of bread, there was no hesitation.

After finishing an entire loaf of bread and feeling full from eating the salt bread as a final touch.

I gradually came to realize what I had done.

“…….”

All the things I did over the past six weeks have gone to waste.

Why did I do something so stupid?

If you had just held on a little longer, why couldn’t you wait that moment and ended up doing this again?
