Reminder of the past
So today I had another wake up call of my recovery.
I found a picture of myself 2 years ago, looking very pale and sick. I then took a picture of myself today and compared. WOW what a difference there was!
Honestly changes in your looks ( for the better) are amazing. Your skin is healthy, your teeth/breathe don't look a bad colour of smell. Yours skin isn't dry and loads of other positives that come with being healthy!!!

Vegetable Soup
Hey beautiful people!!!
Vegetable soup on the menu today.
As I'm in recovery I am not wanting to put butter,cream or potato that many people place in soups to thicken them. I use to love soup so I decided to try and make a recipe that was virtually fat free.
My preference ( but you can use any vegetables you want!!!)
224g Butternut squash ( peeled and cut up into pieces, not too big)
100g Broccoli
164g carrots ( no need to peel them)
350-400ml water boiled in kettle
vegetable,beef &chicken stock ( optional)
Place all vegetables into a pan with the water and or stock, place on a medium heat and bring to the boil. Wait until the vegetables have softened, (you can check with a knife) then remove off the heat. Place the hand blender into the pan and blitz until you get the consistency you want.
How easy was that?
May sound bland but those vegetables combined are beautiful!!!
Mmmmm.
Lots of love

REALISATION
Well,
I think it's safe to say that little elements in life certainly make a difference to your eating disorder.
I joined a few more people on instagram and other places and basically came to the conclusion I could be pushing myself a little bit more.My diet is still very calorie controlled, weighing every food out and calculating to the decimal point!!. I have realised other recovers actually try and eat really scary foods, like biscuits etc but every time I try a new food its still the healthiest version...I have an obsession with being healthy :(
I'm not going to make myself feel like I've wasted time trying my fear foods because every one is different and have different fear food :p so I have tried PASTA which I was scared about.
Anways, I also ordered a crop top which actually made me feel okay about my stomach as normally I think its bloody massive.
Positive thinking will get me through this right?!?!?!!!!!
Lots of Love

YOUTUBE BABES
Ah hello there,
Basically for the past week my ana has been very bad and anxiety panic attacks all the time. Even over a cup of tea in Costa coffee (WTH) and then I knew that wasn't normal and a bad sign.
Anyway, I made a video be it slightly short and boring but even so it really helped me express what I was feeling to the people I love on YouTube. Comments people then made were truly touching and honestly without you guys I would still be in that shit mind frame or wanting to relapse and falling back down the hole.
Today I have a whole new attitude to beating ana and thinking that it is possible to beat it. If there was one word to describe how I was feeling it would be TIRED, tired of fighting all the time and it never disappearing.
Starting up a YouTube channel was the best decision I've made because not only does it help me express what I'm feeling to the world of ED, but also helping others trying to recovery ( well at least I hope I'm helping) and wanting to beat it together!!
Thankyou people for helping me through bad times and I LOVE YOU TO BITS!!!!!
:P

Bad Day
Today has been horrible, I was planning on doing cleaning for a relative and got myself all ready to be ding tons of exercise only to be told this morning I can't do it till tomorrow. Immediately got anxious ( over what exactly ?!?) and felt fat as soon as I got out of bed. That was it my day ruined. Exercise was my only escape! Walked into town and the dog and now say here typing this I feel like I need to do more....
HELP!
Anorexia is a bitch. It makes you feel really bloated and horrible, then makes you feel that your already fat so you might as well binge of loads of crap. I didn't thankgod, but I have been so tempted. Like seriously, why does this illness even exist?!
Not having a job doesn't help either, 7 days a week BORED. Need to find one, been looking for ages now and is getting frustrating all I do is go out so I have something to do but then this increases my thoughts of having to excercise! :( FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!! honestly these words need to be in my head right now, but instead it's FAT FAT FAT FAT!!:(
To top it off my boyfriend is busy today and I really needed him to talk too :(

Danio Yoghurt
Wasn't that amazed by this actually, second fear food this week so will do more next Tuesday as I don't want too over do it and make myself anxious! :p.
The texture was very thick for me.
Normally its not what is in the product its the actual name of it that makes me anxious:biscuits, crisps etc ( sounds stupid I know )
If your looking for a fear food but still want it to be healthier, try this!

Homemade Biscuit!
Recently decided I needed to challenge myself with weekly fear foods. My ED made me want to make it 'healthy' and home-made, so I guess in that way I'm still not being completely risky but its still a start!.
The recipe I made totally at random after research on vegan recipes, as these didn't include dairy produce turned out to be actually tasty!
Made 1 biscuit- 200 Calories
18g Dates
3 tbsp water
30g Rolled Oats
8g Sultanas/ Raisins or whatever you want to add
2 tsp cinnamon ( or to your taste )
1/2 tsp of salt
1. Blend dates in food processor with water until smooth ( will look a bit lumpy but thats okay)
2. Add rest of ingredients in processor
3. Press into one biscuit on baking paper
4. Put into pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 6 for 15-20 minutes till golden brown
GO ON, CHALLENGE YOURSELF GUYS!
It was a really tasty without adding unnecessary ingredients!
