You can use lettuce as wraps..they are good.
Or ditch the bread and have different carbs like corn or sweet potatoes, it's a good mixup.
I'm in the same boat. It's freeing to ditch the two pieces of bread outside your sandwich and eat it on top of something else, like salad or grilled vegetables.
Try it<3

Breakfast: Kashi Golean Crunch with strawberries, blueberries, and vanilla soymilk.

Snack: A few teddygrams

Lunch: Spinach wrap with a veggie burger with a couple spoonfuls of baked beans and lots of veggies.

Snack: peach

Dinner: Fantastic foods Nature's burger, instant mashed potatoes, broccoli

It feels like a lot written down.

I cannot bring cereal into the house.
It used to be my favorite food, but my drunken binging has caused me to have a love/hate relationship. I haven't found ANYTHING that tastes better than cereal when I'm drunk..or sober for that matter haha crunchy, milky, chewy, flavorful textures MMMMmmMmmmmMmm
I ate an entire box of special k chocolately delight cereal the other night with chocolate soy milk..things just taste so much better intoxicated

But before that, I'd make bowls and bowls of Kashi GoLean Crunch with vanilla soymilk and maple syrup drizzled all over it.

::DROOOOOOL::

I actually was going to request that my mom buy it, but I stopped myself for safety of my digestion : /

Haha it is deeelish.

Well, right now we don't have many breakfast items at my house. NO FRUIT WHATSOEVER EITHER! I'm so upset..but today I had 3 graham crackers and a light and fit yogurt, mainly because I was freaking out that I had ACTUALLY packed myself mac and cheese for lunch..but I was just really hungry.
The other morning I had Dannon Coffee flavored yogurt (150 kcals).
Breakfast foods in my house are:
-Ego nutrigrain waffles
-Jumbo eggs
-Whipped cottage cheese
-Oatmeal
-Special k & milk (doesn't keep me full for long)
-PB and wheat bread

I guess these could all be pretty filling...
Would oatmeal and whipped cottage cheese be good together? The whipped cottage cheese tastes kind of like ricotta cheese. Hmmm...
I just think its so triggering when I see people on here are like "I had only egg whites and vegetables for breakfast"..and then I have to stare at my waffles and peanut butter and wonder which would  choice make me feel less like a lard a$$ : (

I ate the other half last night! I don't know why...I just wanted 1/2 for some reason.

I get that way when I'm drunk!!!
The other night I ate an ENTIRE BOX of special k chocolately delight cereal.
Then 2 nights ago, I ate 2 yogurts and A POUND of granola...eek. I still don't want to think about it.
I recently bought Slim-a-bear ice cream sandwiches..they're 98% fat free, 100 calories. I'm still getting used to the idea of having sweets and deserts, so these feel safe and they're REALLY yummy. You can really have one like everyday and not deprive yourself of foods you really want and you won't feel out of control/depressed.

ALSO, there's a voice that says WHO CARES?! LIFE IS SHORT! EAT CHOCOLATE WHILE YOU CAN!!!

Either way...eat up girl<3

My FAVORITE salad of all time is using Fantastic Food's Instant Taco Filling as my protein. I get saute spinach, broccoli, red peppers, corn, and carrots with non-stick cooking spray and garlic, and toss that with 1/2 cup taco filling on a bed of romaine lettuce and fresh tomatos. I like to crisp it up with some crunched up tortilla chips and add some shredded cheese on top (which will add more protein). It's a real taco-salad treat..tastes like the real thing but with lots of less calories.

Trader Joe's also has beef-LESS and chicken-LESS strips, they are deliciously seasoned and packed with protein!. I usually made a salad with those and as many vegetables as you can think of.

Cottage cheese on salad is also really good on salad, and you can even skip on the dressing : )

How many cups is 2 oz of cooked pasta?
Does that go for any kind of pasta?

Cold Cereal - Special K Fruit and Yogurt (it dyes your milk pink & tastes like strawberry milk<3)
Yogurt - Apple Turnover Yoplait
Bread - Pumpernickel raisin
Veggie - cucumber
Frozen Entree - Dr. Praeger's Tex Mex Veggie Burger
Breakfast Bar - Quaker Oatmeal-to-go
Fruit - apples
Dessert - cheesecake..mmm...
Oatmeal - apples & cinnamon
Dinner you prepare- tofu stirfry
Healthy Restaurant Entree - Mediterranean Veggie sandwich from Panera
Breakfast you prepare - Peanut butter and fluff sandwich..aka..the Fluffernutter!
Any other favorites you want to share...  Sabra Hummus, cottage cheese with peanut butter,  crunched up pretzels, and a hershey kiss melted in!

I can TOTALLY relate in a number of ways.
I'm going on 6 years vegetarian and have been in recovery for anorexia for about 3 months. I'm also doing great at home because I can control what I put into my food, measure it out, and not have to worry about people looking at my plate and judging what I feel like eating that day.
Going out can be scary! You're leaving your comfort zone and letting some stranger cook your meal, and meanwhile, you have to eat with people! But honey, going out to eat IS normal eating. No one expects you to get a giant cheesy pasta alfredo and gobble down the whole thing. Stick to something you are comfortable with and won't flip out about, but also take this as a challenge..a challenge to Ed. Try not to freak yourself out with the thoughts..they will make things way worse. The portions at restaurants are pretty big, so it's totally fine to eat a portion of it and take the rest home..or if you need to get a salad, that's alright too! Just remember, it's a celebration! Have some cake, even if it's little, you deserve it!
Does the restaurant have an online menu? Maybe you can pick something out so you're not sitting there agonizing over choices.
I'm also waiting for my friend to call so we can go eat dinner at her Grandma's...I can only IMAGINE what she's cooking..but I know it's not the end of the world, I won't blow up, and I can still eat healthy, controlled portions without hurting anyones feelings.
Good luck! Make sure you tell me how it went!

I'm coming to terms with my drunken binges. I need your help, guys!
Okay so yesterday I ate:
Breakfast: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 heaping tablespoon of yogurt, and an apple.
Lunch: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 1/2 can tuna, about a teaspoon of light mayo.
Snack: some jelly beans and candy corn.
Dinner: 1 cup Progresso soup

Then that night I drank a 40 oz of Bud Light and a mixed drink with cranberry juice.

I felt okay, like I wasn't going to have a drunken binge, but once I got home, it just HIT me. I ate about 1.5 cups of milk, a couple handfuls of cereal, maybe a cup of cottage cheese, a banana, the REST of my jelly beans, candy corn (about 1 cup), 2 pieces of chocolate, a little slice of cream pie, and like 2.5 protein bars...ODD..I know.
But then I got up and made myself throw up. I felt terrible. I can't remember if I mostly threw up beer or what.
This morning I weighed myself and it says I'm still 103 pounds (5'4). I'm not hungry. I know I still have to gain weight...but for people that know about eating disorders, waking up and realizing you ate a bunch of food while you were drunk is just about the same as waking up after a night of drinking naked in a public park.
I do this all the time: get drunk, binge, wake up, starve all day, and speed walk on the treadmill for 30 mins to an hour. This HAS to be hurting my body. I just don't know what to do with myself today. So far I speedwalked on the treadmill for 20 minutes and had a cup of coffee.
Am I going to gain weight from all this? What do I eat today? What help does drinking lots of water do?
PLEASE HELP!!!
