Feeling bad for being healthy/normal – eating disorder recovery

When you were recovering, did you ever feel badly about doing well? Like, right now, I almost feel like eating “normally” (ie not having extreme anxiety at a restaurant for dinner) makes me worried. Almost like, waiting for the shoe to drop for when you might relapse because you can’t possibly be doing well…or that being healthy doesn’t feel sustainable. I almost can’t enjoy getting healthy, because I feel like it just isn’t going to last. hope you’re having a good weekend!I think this question is a really good question and im actually surprised that i havent written anything about it before, but this was something i experienced as well. After spending a long time sick it can feel strange and wrong when you finally …

What do you want in your life? – Having goals

I personally believe that having goals in life is very important. It is for me anyway.I’ve never had a 5 year plan or a 10 year plan thinking that when im 20 i’ll be in university, when im 25 i’ll have a great job and my own apartment, when im 30 i’ll have an even bigger apartment and have a dog and a great partner etc etc Those have never been my goals (Well, my own apartment and second dog are goals of mine.) But i know how things such as jobs, partners, when or if you have kids or marry or things like that, you cant just set a date 10 years beforehand. I am not someone who sets deadlines on my goals, but instead just has these goals which …

How to gain weight on a vegan/vegetarian diet

Many think that a vegan(or plant based.. veganism is the actual lifestyle and not just the diet.) or vegetarian diet is just salad and pasta and potatoes, and many think that plant based diet is the way to weightloss, but that is not the case. You can still gain weight on a plant based diet even if it does mean that you do need to consume more volume than if you were to eat all types of food.In recovery i had no choice over what i had to eat. I was forced to eat red meat 1-2 times a day everyday even if i didnt even like it, and there were times where i just refused to eat the meat because i did not think it …

A day of meal prepping, procrastinating and avoiding the sun

Hello :)I had written a post this morning which was going to be posted this evening but it appears to have disapeared, but i guess its just as good… it was mostly just a long ramble of how i feel and thoughts. Maybe a good thing that it wasnt published, haha. But in all honesty, it wasnt a negative “my thoughts” post, thats a shocker. Infact it was about how i am feeling rather happy at the moment. I am feeling content and control of things – somewhat anyway. But i am choosing to be happy, choosing to be positive and making changes in my life that will help that. Distancing myself from social media, unfollowing accounts that give me no inspiration and instead following accounts that inspire …

ED recovery problems

When an unsupportive relative brushes off your eating disorder as a “crash diet”When you are tossed around between more doctors than you can countWhen somebody asks you with admiration what it’s like to have so much “willpower”Preparing yourself for a challenging mealWhen your body is entirely incapable of keeping itself warm, ruining your comfort and your moodPretending to be nonchalant about a meal plan increase(^^^Hahahha, that was always me… i’d sit in the room with my dietician and pretend to not care but on the inside i was like this:

My third test for the term completed and grilled banana snack idea

This Thursday feels alot like Friday, and i cant seem to stop thinking that it is Friday the 13th today… i guess i am just waiting for something bad to happen. However yesterday i kept thinking it was Thursday 12th i.e the day of my test, so i checked the date about 10 times throughout the day… this panicked feeling that i had gotten the day and time wrong for some weird reason and missed my test. When i get obsesive and compulsive thoughts like that – checking the date or time over and over or things like checking that the stove is off 5 times before i leave the house or walking around the apartment 5 times to make sure everything is ok 8 times before i leave, then i …

Fasting Tips

Hello lovely Ana’s, Fasting makes me feel soooo good and strong but here are some tips to make it easier. Spin around in circles, it will make you too dizzy and nauseous to eat. Always have water with you. Drink ice cold water when possible. If you feel hungry, drink some hot green tea, the heat can suppress your appetite. Caffeine suppresses your appetite as well. Chew sugar free gum. Take a nap. Read. Clean something. Take a shower or bath. Whiten your teeth. Go for a run. Do some crunches. Stretch. Do yoga. Try enjoying hunger pangs. Weigh yourself. Look at your self naked and pinch your fat. Take a nice long walk, with or without your dog. Try 0 calorie Mio water enhancers. Look at …

Loose Weight Fast?

Hi sexy skinny Ana’s, So recently I’ve been getting a lot of emails about losing weight fast…Ana is a commitment, it’s a disciplined lifestyle and all though we all want to get skinny super fast, it’s not the way the world works. I’m a firm believer in the idea that we can’t chose our path, it choses us. Ana isn’t a diet that you can do a week before your cousins wedding and suddenly magically fit into your bridesmaids dress. It’s a commitment. It’s a relationship. Ana isn’t something you can turn on or off. That’s why I’m not trying to promote the lifestyle. I’m just helping other fucked up girls like me …
