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 :)

15 Best Things About Weight Restoration

Hi guys, Before I started weight restoration, all I could think of were negatives. I thought I would look ugly in my clothes, that I would be fat, and that I would hate myself. But truly, this has not been the case. Many of the things that I thought would be awful were actually quite nice. That's not to say, of course, that there haven't been bad days. There are days when I miss being underweight, and they're quite frequent, but I don't feel the need to act on these thoughts: it is necessary for me to be the weight I am, and this body enables me to live the active and long life I wish to. I still think I look good, even if I look different. But I'm getting off topic. Here are some of the best things about weight restoration, from my personal experience: Buying new clothes and investing in my appearance - I used to have cheap clothes because my weight changed so much, but now I'm really getting quality things that I like Reinventing myself as a perso...

Other People's Progress Pictures

Hey guys, Recently, I've seen a lot of before and after pics floating around, and I often end up comparing myself to them. In many cases, the person goes from emaciated to fit. Sometimes it makes me judge myself, and wonder if my recovery has gone 'wrong' since I'm not ripped and lean like they are. I know this isn't the case, however. It's difficult to not create a comparison, but, if anyone is struggling with this like I am, these are the things I bear in mind: Many of these people have been recovered for years, and only built muscle after being declared a healthy weight and fit to exercise If I've been told not to exercise, it's for my own good - I can do all that later, but, right now, my health is a priority My weight has not redistributed yet - it may take 6 months to a year to fully redistribute Realistically, immediately after weight restoration, I may not like my shape, but I must accept it because with a continued healthy lifestyle ...

There's no such thing as overeating in recovery

Hi, A few times when I was in the process of gaining weight, I exceeded the amount on my meal plan. I felt awful . I felt like I was gaining too much too quickly, and sometimes I thought that I'd swapped anorexia for binge-eating disorder. Sometimes I ate because I was hungry, sometimes it was just because I didn't want to resist the food. Both of these reasons are okay. You have to bear in mind that, in recovery from a restrictive eating disorder, the calories that you consume aren't going to fat immediately. Every calorie you consume is restoring you; it's making your hair thicker, it's making you warmer, it's repairing your heart, it's restoring your brain cells, it's aiding your hormones to help you sleep; it's undoing damage to your muscles and so much more. The damage from an eating disorder takes a huge toll on your body, whether you are aware of it or not, and I can assure you that not all of that extra weight is fat, nor are any of ...
