Foods	Bread alternative	Feb 24 2009 06:27 (UTC)	15
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

Health & Support	ED recoverers: post your best recovery memory!	May 26 2008 14:03 (UTC)	19
Oh GOSH yesterday sticks out in my mind! We celebrated memorial day at my grandparents, and I had BREAKFAST knowing I'd be eating a lot later (this would never happen in my ED). Once we got to my grandparents, I had watermelon before lunch, then ate a veggie burger on a bun with baked beans all over it (my favorite), HOMEMADE macaroni and potato salad (more mayo than my liking but whatever, it's my grandma), and salad. Then I had my grandma's banana cream pie. I asked her how she made it (only out of pure curiousity that it comes out perfect everytime and she's made it for years..I want this recipe!) I kept taking bites as she described the ingredients as a store bought crust, bananas, sugar, butter, egg yolks, etc. I only enjoyed it more as she described it. I could have NEVER done this a few months ago. My Grandpa started crying saying I look so good (which comments like these don't freak me out anymore, I appreciate them!) and was so happy that I am moving forward in my life. Last night, I felt a little hungry so I had some popcorn, goldfish, and soy crisps. At past holidays, I'd starve all day, eat small-small portions of what I brought, get home at about 6, and starve myself/exercise until about midnight . Ridiculous...I realize I have to listen to my body now. If my tummy growls, I NEED TO EAT! My food has digested normally and is ready for more. Now I'm planning a big day at the mall and am about to have a good filling egg wrap with veggies, cheese, and alfalfa sprouts. For those who aren't in recovery and just lurking, PLEASE PLEASE PELASE go to treatment...LIVE your life. You're doing youself and every one else a favor, you're worth it<3

Fantastic foods makes miso soup cups. Deeelicious.
Foods	cereal	Apr 18 2008 04:49 (UTC)	1
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 : /

Foods	foods for feet!	Apr 18 2008 02:51 (UTC)	5
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$$ : (

Health & Support	I'm a horrible person....	Apr 15 2008 22:32 (UTC)	10
Hahaha that's so funny..my sister and I stole and ate a whole bag of my room mate's chocolate covered pretzels, and I had to walk across campus and buy another bag before she could notice...thank god they had them! Also, whenever I was drunk, I'd go back to my dorm room and go CRAZY on my room mate's food...even sometimes when she was sleeping about 2 feet away from me! My suite once swung open my door and caught me with my face covered in peanut butter, eating it straight out of the jar : ( And this was when I was severely anorexic too..talk about humiliating...
Health & Support	Weight gain and "bingeing"	Apr 15 2008 22:28 (UTC)	6
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
Foods	Help me understand my pasta!	Apr 15 2008 05:14 (UTC)	7
Ah I was confused by this too! But with some research, I discovered 2 oz is about 1 cup of COOKED pasta. I wish I had a scale...I sadly only have cups and measuring spoons too : (

Vegetarian	Vegetarian Meatballs??	Apr 10 2008 02:39 (UTC)	11
ahhh don't be afraid of the soy protein! It's delicious and tastes just like the real thing. My sister isn't even vegetarian and SHE'S eating it.
Health & Support	i hate food	Apr 04 2008 05:17 (UTC)	5
omg I just freaked out and had to check your account, i thought you were my sister! she takes 100 mg of seroquel before bed, and BINGES like crazy. I mean I have gone to her room in the morning and found remains of sandwiches, boxes of cereal, a jar of peanut butter on her dresser, wrappers...she just goes crazy. She says an insatiable hunger and she just can't stop eating..but then she sleeps until about 3 pm, wakes up, then a few hours later eats a normal dinner, then the cycle starts all over again! She is working to get off of her medication now because she HATES binging at night. Don't worry...it'll pass!
Foods	serving of pasta....crazy	Apr 01 2008 22:20 (UTC)	9
So is 2 oz of cooked pasta about 1 cup? That's how I always measured it, and I assumed it was about 200 calories...I hope I'm right
Foods	What should I buy to put together a good vegetrarian salad for myself?	Apr 01 2008 22:19 (UTC)	20
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 : )
