Brilliantly written, interesting and heartbreaking description of OCD followed by a great recipe! I also found WW changed my relationship with food and I found a different food palette to cook with, which had a brilliant effect on my recipes (and my health). Thank you.
Omg donuts! At 15 I had the beginnings of bulimia and would secretly buy 4 donuts and eat them and then make myself sick. I still love donuts but remember back each time I eat one! Or 2 ……great to meet you too !
Hi Lizzie - saw you were at the gfw - missed you ! Thank you. WW gave me an eating structure which helped me lose weight and feel in control and good about myself. Portion control ! Still struggling with yo yoing but feel the best I have felt now!
Hi Sarah! Nice to meet you now!! WW did the same for me re eating structure – and also removing the on - off thing about diets. And also it gave me a food palette that didn’t need portion control, and somehow clicked me into a much more creative approach to food. But I still yo-yo. Am very interested in the work of Tim Yeo and the genetics of obesity on the subject! (My first post on substack was about whether my genes forced me to eat doughnuts..)
Oooh, I am printing this recipe out! I saw the pix on your Instagram feed and they made my stomach rumble! Definitely making this. Thanks for sharing the hard stuff, making OCD easier to understand for those of us who haven’t experienced it firsthand 🙏
Thanks Jenny! This is the hard stuff and I hope by sharing it and how I have harnessed it in a positive way can help others! Food love helps - soothes the soul! Let me know how you get on!!!!
I am so thinking about it 🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes - story unveiling itself!
Another beautifully written piece Sarah, and delicious looking recipe. Thank you for sharing your life story with us xx

Have you discovered bombalone - the Italian ones filled with crema (custard)??
No where do I get these from and could I eat 2 straight off??? 😂😂
Get on the first plane to Italy. Only option.
