Sorry for the late reply!! :)
I am trying to recover, and find you really inspiring. I have two questions, sorry if you dont want to answer them.
How much oatmeal do you eat in the morning? 1/2 a cup? I'm trying to get an idea of what is healthy.
I usually eat c.a 1dl (100 ml) which is one portion. But most of the time i just pour oatmeal into the bowl... not really caring how much.
But go for a portion size.. which it should state on the oatmeal package? Otherwise if you have a 100ml measuring cup. Take 100 ml as that is usually one portion :)
&&Dont forget to add something like banana or berries or soemthing as that makes oatmeal just that bit nicer :)
Also, you mentioned that you used to be a thumbsucker. If its not too embarrassing, could you post how you stopped it?
Hmm gosh. I usually forget that i used to suck my thumb... *hehe.. embarrassing!* It was so long ago!! I was roughly 10 or 11 when i stopped ... which is old enough!! haha
Because it was so long ago i cant really remember how i stopped. It was more that i decided, enough is enough! which is pretty much what i had to do when i was recovering from anorexia.
It was something gradual, and i cant really remember how or why...
but i did start playing alot of Gameboy/Nintendo to keep my thumbs busy... so that helped. (Like when people try to stop smoking they usually have something like a pen inbetween their fingers. )
So maybe if you feel the need to suck your thumb, then try to send a text or type or just take your mind off it... just like when you have anxiety?
And dont be embarrssed, it might be a sort of comfort for you... :) Just take it step by step... and instead of sucking your thumb, do something else with your hands. :) And in time... im sure it will get better and you'll stop :)
Good Luck!!
If anyone has any questions :) Ask away!!!

100ml is not much!!! I mean probably enough if you eat big snacks between meals...? and then we're all different in our portion sizes etc...so no offence!!!:) It's just that I usually weigh 60g for my breakfast which I think is 3/4cups...and I have it with banana, soymilk/milk, spoonfull peanut butter and honey... so it sounds very little to me!! On top of it I'd get hungry two hours after breakfast hehe xD
ReplyDeleteWell really i reccommend the protion size, which can vary for each oatmeal package... but here in Sweden, the oatmeal i use its 100ml, which is like 45gram.. i think? But most of the time i just pour oatmeal into the bowl... im too lazy to actually measure it... I have the feeling, from my eye estimation that i pour more then 1dl! But i dont mind!! And i always top it with banana, nuts, raisins and milk!! :) Or whatever combination i fancy in the morning :)
DeleteThank you so much for actually answering!
