Great job Leah! ahh and thank you for quoting me! :) you are such a sweetheart! <3 and your challenges today sound so delicious and you did SO well! i also find that i like sweet breakfasts, hence the fact that i have oatmeal every morning ;) but i would like to challenge myself as well, that is a great idea to break out of a comfort zone, and a sprouted bagel with cream cheese sounds so delicious and perfect!...used to be my fav as a kid! that is one of my food goals! and you, my dear have inspired me :) good night beautiful. PS: WF carrot ginger soup is my absolute favorite as well!! :) |

What do you stuff them with? savory crepe with leeks and goat cheese or sweet with nutella + banana. Then you need to make some good old oatmeal. What liquid, type of oats, and additives would you put in? old fashioned oats, hemp milk, banana, dates, walnuts and crystallized ginger. You whip together a smoothie. What fruit, vegetables, and dairy do you put in? Greek yogurt and almond milk with banana and peanut butter and blueberries blended YUmmm..pb and j smoothie ;) You want to make a salad. What are your favorite greens to work with? With what toppings? baby spinach, onion, cucumber, carrot shreds, with tofu, carrot ginger dressing, and golden raisins and apple, like a Waldorf salad or something... You need a snack and decide on some trail mix. What ingredients do you throw in it? carob chips, white chocolate chips, almonds, cashews raisins, dried figs and goji berries. You're baking a quiche with the standard cheese and eggs. What else would you throw in it? Does it have a crust? a flakey crust and has Gruyere cheese and spinach and onions and tomato.

ahhh so many horrible memories :( a lot of mine will be similar to ^ maya above, because we are twins...well here we go... when i was going out with my ex boyfriend august 2008 and around 73-75 lbs and he would tell me to put on a sweater, and his friends would make fun of how thin i was :( going into the hospital and them wanting to keep me there to tube feed me, and Maya and I ran out, then the police came to our home to bring us to another hospital where we stayed there for like 6 hrs until they deemed us sane enough to go home i was around 65 lbs at that time, and wasnt eating AT ALL, nothing for 10 days! then went into renfrew IP like 2 or 3 days later, even sicker. being wheeled in a wheel chair on bedrest for about 2 weeks in IP and holding my twins hand and crying as we were being wheeled to our separate rooms... having a temperature of 90 degrees and having a nurse wrap me in a heating blanket and sit by my bed most of the night in IP...while the nurse kept telling me how her 5 year old son weighs more than me... on my admission day in IP 08 being wheeled outside when the fire alarm went off, and a whole group of girls stood there and stared at me with their mouths open, and one girl i knew from a previous stay there, adn she started to cry. having kids at school refer to Maya and I as "those anorexic twins" :( a few months ago in trader joe's a handicapped woman was staring at me, and asked her caregiver "why is she so skinny, whats wrong with her?" & the caregiver looked at me in disgust and wispered something to the handicapped woman.... :/ having boys outside the college i was going to go to, but dropped out of, sing a song about eating food etc and laughing at maya and i. :( smoking a cigg, and a guy telling Maya and i that we need to quit and go eat something, ha he said "go eat a banana" not funny, but a banana? lol... starving this whole summer, depressed and just so so many bad memories of being miserable, and my mom threatening to throw me out of the house... my dad crying when coming to see me in IP, and my step mom, looking at me, and just walking away after barely a minute with the most disgusted and pitied look on her face, like she felt bad for me and thought i was a discrace :( when i was 15 doing the maudsley approach, my dad forcing me to eat so much, and me running away from the table, and hiding...and being made once to eat a 1200 cal slice of cheesecake, and then trying to throw it up...(i am not bulimic at all, that was the only time i ever tried to do that) but that was helllll!! ahhhhhh that was a lot, and so hard to think back to all of these things, i could go on and on...there are so many horrible things....5 yrs of this crap.... |

| Weight Gain | hypoglycemia, what to eat? | Dec 02 2009 15:38 (UTC) |

hey Leah :) i am hypoglymic as well, but it improved a lot once i gained weight, in September when i was in the 12 bmi range, my blood sugar was around 46! but then i got it checked recently and it was like 70 which is still not that normal, yet a lot better and an improvement. i also eat every 2-3 hrs, and a lot of sugar also like 150 grams a day or more usually, which my ED thinks is WAY too much, but i think with such low blood sugar, it is needed to eat things like a fruit, honey, agave nectar, and other things with sugar, i am sure with more weight it will improve lovie :) you are doing so well girlie, by the looks of your eats, and your positivity, i am so inspired :) xx |

Hey guys, first time posting on this forum, but Maya(my twin) posts on here, and we usually eat pretty much similar things so i dont ever find it necessary to post lol...but today was so so hard omg, :( Maya had a 104 degree fever and was in bed all day, it was horrible, my mom was out most of the day with my brother, so i made her each meal and tried to get her to eat! she kept saying how nauseous and ill she felt which was so understandable...i just felt so badly for Maya, its so hard to re-feed while having a virus or the flu etc... :(but i have to admit it affected my meals as well a bit. well my eats are all over the place, so random and unplanned...i am a bit stressed out at the moment looking at my eats, thinking that it wasnt a balanced day etc...but whatever, a calorie is a calorie and all that matters is met 2500! breakfast: oats cooked in hemp milk and water. a prune.a dried fig and 1 tbsp dried cherries. a banana. peanuts and 12 almonds.(480) Snack: an Eat Natural Date pumpkin seed and walnut bar...(i did a swap with a friend from Switzerland omg this bar was sooo good!):) + an apple (290) lunch: 2 slices of Ezekiel bread(open faced) with one slice with 1 tbsp raw almond butter with 1 tsp honey and the other slice with avocado slices and veggies. and 1 cup steamed kabocha squash with cinnamon on the side...haha okay this was really really random :P i couldn't make up my mind, what can i say ;) (360) snack: i was so cold, and Maya with her fever didn't let me put the heat on haha, not really that funny, but this explains my snack of oatmeal :P yes i am quite the oatmeal addict. well i had oat bran cooked in water with some Greek yogurt stirred in, golden raisins, 1 tbsp wheat germ. 1 tbsp flax and 1 tbsp sliced almonds + cinnamon (380) dinner: brown basmati rice. 1 tsp coconut oil. steamed pumpkin. kale. string beans and onion. curry spices. tofu. and 3 tbsp raw cashews. (500) snack: 1/2 a large vegan lemon cookie, yum... crumbled in 1/2 cup Trader Joes ff fro yo... a medjool date, then after had 12 raw almonds and 3 prunes.....ahhhhhhh that was so hard, that snack, (490) 2500 ahhh i just did, cant believe i did...today was rough. i didn't even think i would come close to my cal goal...ahh i am so drained omg. *off to bed* xx lots of love to all you girlies :) |

thank you so much drivenlass and 062121...you both were so helpful, yes i got Maya to drink an odwalla juice smoothie she is working on that slowly...which is about 350 calories. the ice cream idea + nut butter is a great idea, and fluids, oatmeal and high cal low density things, definitely. i think the meds my mom got helped her fever go down a bit, down to around 100.5 instead of 104 which was scary high! but now she is sleeping...yea i am kinda taking my moms role...my mom is busy with my little brother, driving him back to boarding school today, so yea. :/ but i definitely think by later she will feel a lot better, with more rest, and hydration. and i know its so true ED's will take advantage when you are sick and say "oh yes! i can skip my meals and snacks!" that's what i was worried about, but i know Maya knows she must stay on track, she is one hard fighter. :)

if i must do fast food, i would do subway or panera, and get a veggie sandwich at subway, and at panera, i dont really think thats "fast food" its all natural etc but i would def get the black bean soup or the meditteranian veggie sandwich + an apple. i havent ate any fast food in ages, prob the last time was at panera, in the winter a year ago, the day i was picked up from IP, my mom and sister came to get me at like 6 pm so we just went to panera, because it was so close to the treatment center, and i had the meditteranian sandwich + an apple. :) |
