My Food Challenges

Hi guys,

I'm quite lucky to say I've never had any strong 'fear foods' in the sense that these foods cause genuine anxiety and panic, however there are certain foods that I go out of my way to avoid or generally feel uncomfortable at the thought of eating. So... this is my list!

('Semi-fear') foods I would like to eat:

Stroganoff
Pasta
Stir fry
Shepard's pie
Pancakes
Tacos
Enchiladas
Quiche
Crumble
Ice cream
Afternoon tea
Fruit juice
Risotto
Crisp sandwiches
Sausage sandwiches
Afternoon tea
A pasty
American pancake stacks
Croissants
Sweet waffles
Cinnamon rolls
Ice lollies

Foods I would like to cook/bake (again, on some occasions - I always loved baking!):

Praline
Scones
Cider
Beer
Kombucha
Lattes
Polish-style stuffed cabbage
Bread and butter pudding
Coconut yoghurt
Pumpkin pie
Pecan pie

I feel like I should also point out that I'm a vegan, so any recipes for these things on here will be veggie-friendly :)

60 Reasons to Recover

Hi warriors, Recovery is hard. It's demotivating. You fight for so long to get down to a low weight, that having to gain weight just feels... wrong. But it's not. I promise you it's not. Everyone has different reasons for recovery - more individual ones, like specific hobbies and interests that they want to return to - but here is my fairly generic list. To have healthy, thick hair More energy To truly enjoy food, rather than fearing it To be able to have children some day To be able to travel without fears for your blood pressure To be able to run a charity race without fears for your heart health To be able to concentrate and perform better at work/school So that you can give good cuddles again So that you can make your family and friends proud So that you can be there for your friends, and celebrate birthdays with them rather than cancelling because the food horrifies you So that one day, someone can make you breakfast in bed, and you'll be able to a
