I thought I would share with you all a typical days intake for me now that I am weight restored. So this is what I ate yesterday as well as what I ate today. I try my hardest to get a good balanced intake with lots of healthy nutritious foods as well as enjoying some yummy treats too.
Please rememeber that if you are still trying to gain weight, you should be eating more then this amount. In fact, you may need to eat more then this just to maintain your weight. Everyone is different and just because this amount of food fuels my body efficiently does not mean it will necessarily fuel yours.

I was diagnosed with Anorexia almost three years ago and have been battling it ever since. On my blog I share different experiences that I have had when I was really sick, as well as the progress I am now making as I try to recover. Since creating my blog I have never felt more motivated to recover and I hope that through writing about my recovery, I will be able to inspire people with eating disorders to fight for a happier and healthier life.
It's wonderful to hear that you're thriving in your recovery! Do you find it easy to eat or are you still challenging yourself to eat? Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie! In all honesty, whilst I am eating my regular intake I am not challenged at all to eat. I do find it more difficult however when I eat a lot more than usual (like when I stay stay boyfriends place where his mum cooks for us etc.) But I get through it anyway and I know that this is helping me continue to get stronger.
DeleteI really do hope that oneday I will stop being so worried about what I eat but I really dont know. Idont feel as if it's a massive problem, just that I am a VERY mindful eater. Xx
Thanks for sharing :) It's always good to see what people eat in recovery.
ReplyDeleteTic Toc biscuits are the best :D I might need to buy a pack - I haven't had them in years!
xx
Thats ok. I ate way more when I was actually in recovery but this is just my maintainance intake :)
DeleteYes, tic toc biscuits were my favourite childhood biscuit too. Those, Raspberry shortcakes and hundreds and thousands biscuits :) xx
