LOCKED TOPIC

Teens: what did YOU eat today?

I'm kind of copying the oh so popular topic found in the food forum. This is different, though: for teens! I think it's pretty interesting to see what we teenagers eat, and this will kind of give the chance for teens to see what other healthy foods they can add to their diet.. I sure know that my diet needs improvement XD

Oh, and the same rules as the one in the other forum applies.. especially do not post if you are not eating enough. Nobody wants to see it, and you're only hurting yourself in the long run; believe me, I found out the hard way.

I'll start!
breakfast: cheerios, a yogurt, & and orange
lunch: a turkey sandwich (i love low carb bread! really.) an apple, another yogurt, &wheat thins
after school: a peanut butter sandwhich on whole grain & an orange
dinner: probably light soup & a salad or something!

don't be shy XD

i'm having a relapse of ed thoughts... :(

EWW-hi!  my adivce, get away from this website, really, i see it as a double edged sword, it helped me a lot w/ my ED and the majority of the posts are really not so good and only serve to increase those ED thoughts.  so really, id say stay away.  also, eventho im a bit older than you are, you really inspired me w/ my recovery.  im at a semi healthy weight, not so much, but im planning on gaing into the middle of my bmi bc i really dont think a bmi thats borderline will allow someone to be the most they can be, its like "borderline healthy", whats that?? lol

so good luck, do you really want to be back in the misery of an ED??

i'm having a relapse of ed thoughts... :(

ewwxroflzz: i know what you mean about relapsing.. i relapsed all last week into binging/laxative abuse! and the bloat that came along with it wasn't helping at all, and i even felt like i was relapsing back into restricting  it's a bad bad cycle.. but everyday is a new start to move ahead and better yourself. this week i decided i was sick of it. i'm taking the scale as a joke, trying to not undereat or overeat.. but just eat, and exercising everday except sundays.. when i take the day off for myself and my relaxation. ed's are NOT WORTH IT! and i know it's hard to try and get over the horrible thoughts that come after we have taken steps to get healthy again.. but there's no point in looking back. i'm here if you need anything

best of luck!

thanks so much guys :) it was basically triggered by myself weighing this morning which i almost NEVER do and i've gained like 5 pounds. yeah, really not a big deal, since i don't look any different and it's probably muscle and i hadn't "gone" yet (ahem ;), but sgkjhkj.

agru yeah i'm thinking i need to leave or at least take a hiatus from here. i've gotten so used to coming here haha it's where i waste my time while putting off school. so i think i'll try to gradually phase it out, because it really doesn't help me with anything, it's just one more thing that makes me think of ed's. i'm so glad i inspired you! that makes me feel better.

cherri you are so right, they're not worth it. it's been awhile since i felt a relapse coming on, i guess it happens sometimes but i'm not letting myself get pulled back into that cycle either. thanks for the support and here's to defeating eds!

i think that's great advice!

ewwxroflzz- stay strong! you really are inspiring. I'm still recovering from bulimia, and I've been getting back into old habits again unfortunately. But the fact that you are recovered is so inspiring, I can't even imagine being recovered right now lol. I think I need to leave this site too, honestly, sometimes I think calorie counting is an ED all on its own....

Ewwxroflzz- To each individual, this site is either a blessing or a curse. If it's not helping you, then maybe you should stay off? It's your choice though. Mostly I just wanted to say I'm proud of you for staying strong and hopefully you'll ignore those ed thoughts.

This site is helpful to me because this thread forces me to own up to what I eat in a day. But it's understandable that it's triggering for a lot of people, and to be honest, I've had to take a few breaks from it myself for that reason.

As for the "owning up to what I eat in a day"...yeah...ahem:

Breakfast (7): banana; kiwi; apple; english muffin w/ pb; chocolate cookie

Snack(noon): 2 cheesecake brownies

Lunch(2:30): tofu stirfry

Snack(4ish): 1 1/2 yoplait light yogurts

Dinner: soy hot dogs on whole wheat bread

Binged last night (tried really hard not to compensate) so I wasn't hungry for the first half of the day...

I am trying really hard to eat more naturally. I am so tired of eating sugar free, processed crap that just makes me crave more and more junk which leads to binging which leads to a hurting swollen tummy. :/ So that is my goal, and I think it will really improve how I feel! :)

7:45 :// hate waking up early...: Tazo cinnamon apple tea

1:25: blood orange and a Pibb zero

4:05: Pibb zero

5:30: McDonalds Southwest chicken salad

6:00: 4 california rolls (no mayonnaise, just avocado and a chunk of crab meat and cucumbers), a square of Lindt 85% cocoa dark chocolate (made my face go like this: ^.^)

7:30: Amy's mattar paneer

9:00-11:00: 2 squares Lindt 85% cocoa dark chocolate, large gala apple, 4 california rolls, kashi peanut butter granola bar

I need to find a way to break that diet soda habit... :P

Wow - heavy day today, haha!  I can feel all of the sodium.

And my advice to ewwxrolfzz: think about how pathetic EDs are. 

Earlier, I was wanting to binge purge.  I was home alone, and then I was like (outloud), "Eating massive amounts of icecream and then gagging it back up is pathetic.  Everyone else can control THEIR cravings; so can I.  It's pathetic."

So I didn't binge.

And then when I was questioning the piece of toast I had with breakfast, I was like, "No, I need this.  NOT eating this would be pathetic.  Starving myself is pathetic."  Go online and search anorexia images; look at how sad they all look.

No human needs to stoop that low; just keep reminding yourself that ED creates pathetic thoughts, and compare them with the normal thoughts everyone else has, so you can SEE how pathetic they are.

Best wishes.  <3
