eggs, beans, (lentil soup, yum!)

i've learned to let myself have something every once in a while otherwise i will binge on something else later. so its not bad if you have a piece of cake every now and then. but sometimes if i think i went over my cals for the day i'll eat a "healthier" substitution like skinny cow ice cream or an apple.

june 2010 bride here! wouldn't mind if i lost a few pounds, but i'm mostly looking to maintain and not gain weight. i always tend to gain weight around the holidays and winter months unfortunately! congrats to everyone!

my favorites have always been the sugary ones.. growing up i used to eat them all the time, my favorite was frankenberry (now they only make it during halloween time) but other favorites were cinnamon toast crunch, and cocoa puffs. Now i only eat kashi go lean.

i tried kashi oatmeal and was not a fan. it was too clumpy for me.  i like quaker weight control oatmeal better.

anorexia is a mental disease... When i had an ED i was socially withdrawn from friends and family because i never wanted to go out anywhere for fear of having to eat something out of my "norm". at my thinnest i still felt fat. it is a sickness. if you are thin but eat and think normally about food and your body (despite having bony hands) then chances are you do not have anorexia.
