At goal, same dorm chili

I hit my goal weight this morning, which is wild because my breakfast was a $1.19 packet of instant oats and a spoon of peanut butter scraped from the bottom of the jar. I’m a broke dorm student, so my whole plan has been cheap protein Tetris: lentils, canned tuna, cottage cheese, frozen edamame, and chili I make in a mug.

I assumed hitting the number would unlock some big maintenance era.

Instead I just made the same chili, swapped Greek yogurt for sour cream, and logged it. Part of me feels like I should do a dramatic reveal or change everything, but my budget and my tiny fridge said no. My only flex was buying the name-brand yogurt.

Is anyone else at their target and still eating the exact same five rotation meals? I don’t know if this is peace or just being too tired to innovate.
