Is that one meal?

If you insist on eating one meal, you have to promise me you'll have a lot of chocolate cake or apple pie in the evening. :)

And how do you figure that's 1260 calories? Rice=300, broccoli=negligible, POM=200? That better be some damn calorific tofu.

[@Raeven]

i wanna know where you buy your tofu, yo.

cos.. that doesn't look like 1200 calories to me.. maybe 700... but not 12...

soydream.. that looks like it needs some soydream in it..

[porvida]

b/l: small bowl (about 1/2 cup, maybe less) of whole wheat couscous mixed with no-oil sauteed sliced carrots, celery, onion, and bell pepper. little hunk of sourdough bread with a dab of all fruit no sugar added strawberry jam. mug of black tea with splash of vanilla soymilk and splenda :whack:


i can tell. i'm not going to be eating much today.
bad! bad!
i'll try. but honestly I dont want to. I've been eating so much....ish.....
:confused:


eta: about 10 baby carrots dipped in a bit o' hummus

[Autumn Leaves]

B: ----
L: a few strawberries, blended
D: ----

it's better then yesterday :cry: at least I DID eat something!
I wish I wasn't scaried of the pain... I just want to be normal again, and eat w/o pain!

P.S. Please don't beat me up to much :worried: :sick:

[@Raeven]

porvida - why are you whacking yourself for the tea w/splenda? it had soymilk in it.. and you ate something with it. (i'm of the.. artificial sweeteners in moderation crowd).

AL - please, please, please.. go have some toast. with jam. and peanut butter or almond butter. please...then have some soydream and thai noodles with peanut sauce.

just eat something. if it hurts, make note of it, then try another food.

And how do you figure that's 1260 calories? Rice=300, broccoli=negligible, POM=200? That better be some damn calorific tofu.

That's two meals..each one consists of one cup of rice, 6 ounces of broccoli, and 5.5 ounces of tofu.

2 cups of rice = 500
12 ounces of broccoli = 100
16 fl oz of POM = 280
11 oz box of teriyaki marinated tofu = 380

I got the tofu at Ralphs, lol. It's marinated in a teriyaki sauce and already chopped up.

im just whacking because i've heard bad things about it...i probably shouldn't be using it but eh. you're right. i ate something with it. which is good.

AL- PLEASE EAT SOMETHING. a few strawberries does NOT constitute as a SNACK let alone an entire day's worth of food. I'm sorry it hurts. and you must be so sick of people telling you to eat. But this is VERY serious, you NEED to either deal with the pain or get some sort of help immediately. You absolutely cannot go weeks eating nothing but a few strawberries every day. please, please do something.

[Vegankat]

AL - Have you asked your doctor about painkillers? If the pain is that bad, you need them, because you NEED to eat.

[Autumn Leaves]

I was on that "purple pill" then this other doctor told me to stop taking it. :\

[rainbowmoon]

You should probably go back on it. I took Prilosec for a long time (I'm assuming you are on Nexium- but they are similar) and I experienced no bad effects from it. My Mom took it as well, when she had a severe stomach ulcer. It might really help....get another opinion, perhaps?

My day...oh, it was atrocious. Honestly. And believe me, I am PAYING for it!!
breakfast- Egg/cheese biscuit, salad, ice cream sundae
shortly thereafter- scrambled eggs with cheese
dinner- 2 Pop Tarts, some faygo, a few sips of brocco soup (so gross) and a lot of chocolate milk.

Please don't yell at me...as I said, I have paid!!

[porvida]

for dinner i had a bowl of miso broth with 1/4 serving of lite silken tofu, lots of nori, a few slices of scallion......1/2 a bowl of butternut squash soup.

SO FULL!
I thought it out though....I had less than 600 calories today, easily. but i dont feel well, and know i should eat more...i'm excusing myself, i've been eating better but my stomach REALLY isn't agreeing with me today.

[CharityAJO]

I won't yell at any of you guys.

Lemonade.
Odwalla Vanilla Al'Mondo
Cranberry Orange muffin.

It! Until I finally got home and cooked...

Wheat berries w/ carrots, butternut squash, earth balance, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange peel, anise, and rice nectar. Damn yummy, yo.

But I'm still starving. I think I'll need to engage a bagel.

[Autumn Leaves]

ok, I had a cup of Strawberries, ice, & water blended together.

Is that good? I am not sure... I kinda feel more hungry, but think I'll wait till tomorrow.

P.S. I am not sure if I am having a "feel" feeling or "hungry" one :-/

[Cissy]

AL - You've eaten nothing today, have something.

[DoshKel]

AL...you said you didn't have an eating disorder, so yes...your feeling of hunger is hunger. If you wait 'till tomorrow...wouldn't that be kind of disordered eating? Please AL...go be rational and eat.

Cheers.

[porvida]

honey, no, of course that is not good. it's terrible. i dont care if you feel hungry or not. if there is any thought in your mind that you MIGHT be a LITTLE hungry just EAT. that is your body telling you it wants food. completely natural. don't wait until tomorrow, because you probably won't end up eating anything tomorrow either, unless you start getting on the right track.
did your doctor give you a reason to stop taking the pills? it seems that your parents or someone needs to have a conversation with both doctors...conflicting views are never a good thing.

[Autumn Leaves]

a few mins. after drink that strawberry slush thing, I started feeling so sick. I hurt so bad. I took some pain meds.

and I made myself a cup of Green Tea.

this other doctor said to hold off on the pills till we find out whats cuasing it. as it could make it worse in the long run. I hate that, because they really helped!!

[Vegankat]

AL - If you mean good as in it tastes good, then yeah, I'm sure it is. But I don't think it's good calorie-wise if that's all you've had. You really really need to eat something. Something solid, that you chew, with 250 calories or more per serving. That's not even a lot, but it is a start. That strawberry stuff is probably 20 per serving.


I thought I did really really well today. I ended up not eating for a really long time until last night, until I broke my fast at work around 10 PM with chips and sugary fruit punch because I was dizzy and miserable and when I don't eat I'm an emotional wreck.

I mean, look at this, it looks like a lot, right?

- 2 boca sausages - 75 calories
- TWO servings of Malt-o-meal Cinnamon Toasters cereal (haha, fake cinnamon toast crunch) - 260 cals
- with one cup Silk Light - 70 cals
- Two cups (maybe a teensy bit less, I was using up the last of a package) frozen veggies (endamame, broccoli, water chestnuts, and carrots) stir-fried in mirin, ginger, a dash of szcechaun sauce - maybe 150 cals if I'm lucky
- 6 Quorn nuggets - 270 cals
- with a bit of organic ketchup - 10 cals
- 1 serving Dollar General brand vanilla wafers (XD shut up, I'm ghetto!) - 150
- 1 cup watered down light orange juice - maybe 25 cals (a serving is originally 50, but I can't drink orange juice without watering it down because of my ulcer, but my throat is so sore I didn't know what to do.)

Okay. I mean, that sounds like a decent amount of food, right?

When I added it up, I'm right around 1000 calories. :rolleyes:

I'm feeling really sick. The glands on the sides of my neck just under my jaw are really swollen, and I have a super-sore throat, and it hurts to swallow. I think the past several days of no food and little sleep have really started to take their toll on me. I had the worst anxiety attack I've had since November Friday night, and have gotten, on average, between 2 and 4 hours of sleep per night for the past week.

[Autumn Leaves]

Kat~ Thats why I broke my three day "fast" today also, I couldn't stand the dizzyness anymore. when ever I got up I would blackout. :-/

[bluewisdom]

I followed my plan today.

I tried a new POM flavor..it was blueberry. It was good..sort of tasted like blueberry syrup for pancakes/waffles.. but I like the cherry better, it's less rich and more refreshing.

I've gotten out of my bad mood..before, the idea of gaining weight was putting me in this terrible mood towards everybody...but I realize, why? I'm the one controlling this. I'm the one deciding to get better..no one is FORCING me. It's my choice to gain weight and to have a decent life again. I should be happy that I've broken out of the ED spell and that I've woken up..I hope that I will never starve my body again. Even if I end up overweight one day and need to go on a diet..I won't starve myself. I'll be smart about it and simply eliminate 250 calories per day and exercise, and get down to a HEALTHY weight in a HEALTHY manner.

I am better than this eating disorder and I swear to any god that exists that I WILL beat it - physically and mentally.

[CharityAJO]

Swear to the god inside your body. Swear to yourself, for yourself. You are awesome, and deserve the best in health and sound mind.
