Mindful eating infographic
I was asked about true hunger and i thought i would post this infographic about mindful eating, and then answer the actual question with my own tips and advice in another post. But i thought this inforgraphic was rather good.Though it it us to you about how “mindful” you actually want to be, because sometimes in recovery its better to not be so mindful and to just eat… not be acutely aware of every bite you take and obsessively taking 30 chews each bite and taking an hour to finish a small meal. Mindful eating is usually a good thing to try to do if you struggle with binge eating or over eating, then it can be good to not get super distraced while eating but also …
Spending the weekend out on an island
Good morning, it’s only 10am but feels like half the day has already passed. As usual i woke up around 5.30/6am due to my bodies own alarm clock, and despite not having any lectures today it nice to wake up early and start my day early… (and other days its nice to just sleep as long as i can with no alarm clock!). I got up and got ready and decided to go to the gym however once i got there i realised that it didnt open until 8am as it is a sort of holiday-day, so shops open later than usual as well as most people being free from work or school, though i didnt think about that. I had more than an hour …
Sunshine and travelling out to an island – flexing and happiness
Hello 🙂 I am sorry for the lack of posts today and i guess the next few days, but i am going to really enjoy the sunshine and try to just disconnect. But leave topics or questions and i will try to answer them and schedule some posts :)Today has been a great day so far! After my morning post today i bought myself some strawberries and then ate them on the train to Stockholm while trying to study. And then i was home for about 5 minutes before i had to leave again where it was a drive out to the boat to the island (with a stop to do some food shopping!).Once out on the island it was just to unpack, sit in the …
Intuitive eating
Intuitive eating…. One of those tricky things which most people dont even really know what it means. They want some concrete plan… they follow what everyone else is eating or follow the latest diet, not sure how to eat or what is best to eat. But really, eating to maintain weight is quite simple – back to basics really. Eating a diet filled with lean protein, complex carbs, healthy fats, vegetables as well as getting your nutrients and minerals and also those special treats when your body and soul just need them. That is a balanced diet and a healthy diet. Though how much of what you should eat… that depends on the person and the persons needs.Listening to your body isnt easy for anyone. Most people …
Focusing too much on food
Did you know that thinking about food all the time, dreaming about food, spending hours planing and thinking about food, collecting recipes obsessively, always making food for others, always baking and cooking but rarely eating it, isnt a healthy mindset? Focusing too much on food, where all your thoughts and time is spent on food is not healthy.A problem which can make recovery harder is when there is too much focus on food. Of course when you have an eating disorder there is ALOT of focus on food and as well when you are in recovery. Then you think about your next meal, the fear foods you have to eat, the foods you want to eat, the foods you want to bake/eat, the foods you …

Remember to praise yourself and the small recovery wins
the hardest part about recovering from a dramatic mental illness is that the only ones who notices the small things are yourself and your therapist.your friends, your family, the people you love — they’re flat-out not gonna care if you take a shower instead of cutting yourself, or if you get in all your meals for a day, or if you curb your spending significantly, or if you go for a walk instead of locking yourself away and crying.to us, these are major accomplishments. they’re fucking cake-worthy victories deserving of celebration.to everyone else, it’s just behaving kind of “normal”, and will always be compared to your other problematic behaviors — “why are you still behaving so histrionically when it comes to sex?…
Start the day fresh and dont let fear hold you back
Good morning world :)Or well those of you who decide to check in on my little blog and my updates! It is Saturday morning, the sun is shining and today there is nothing planned to do. Well it is hard to plan to do anything when you are out on an island, there’s not really any place to go or anything to do. Instead it is about creativity and spending time with others… or well, relying on internet and watching Youtube videos. And i did a bit of both yesterday!Lots of exercise yesterday and lots of time in the sun lead to a very tired and somewhat red body today. To sum up yesterday, it was a nice day where i didnt do so much but …

Back to reality
Good morning! At the moment it feels very much like summer in Sweden and as I have been away on island and haven’t had any school it feels like it’s summer and like I have no more school. .. but that’s not the case. Instead I woke up this morning and realised it’s Monday and I have a test in 3 days as well as other school work to prepare for. I had my few days break which was necessary though if anything it’s made me a little less motivated to work…. as i don’t want to just lock myself in a library to study and I can’t seem to study outside. Anyway… ; the plan today is to head home to my own apartment and get some study done!…
Unstructured and different eating during summer – and trying to follow a meal plan
When i got home from the island (i.e yesterday evening) i began thinking about how food was not an issue and wasnt even something i thought about before saying yes to travelling out to the island. In the past, food, being with others and not being able to stand and exercise as much as i wanted would have been the main reasons i said no to doing anything different than being at home and following my normal routines. During recovery i had to eat the same food at the same time… i couldnt eat anything different from my meal plan, i had to measure my food, i had to eat at the right times… or so that is what i thought, but it was all a …

Being honest with ourselves – and why we do things
Recently i have spent time thinking about why i do things, why are my habits the way they are and why i have certain routines and why i do things. Sometimes we so easily fall into routines and habits and then never question why we began doing them or why we continue doing them.But i have recently questioned myself… why do i do things why are my routines the way they are?Some things are purely habit, others have had past ulterior motives which then just became routine, but now im focused on changing. I am going to be making changes in my life… some big and some small, and some things which i hope to have the courage to change, but dont know if i …
"Depression is quiet"….
I thought this was very cute, but also a reminder to anyone struggling, to reach out and talk to someone.There are people who can understand and help you, but if you dont let them know that you need help or are struggling they might not be able to help you.Keep fighting, it can get better :)Source: https://solar-citrus.tumblr.com/post/98583201090/you-would-be-surprised-with-how-many-people-in
