Life without Anorexia

My motto is
'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

My life at the moment is completely different to how it once was. I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia and depression as well as struggling with self harm and overexercising. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
And since 2012 i have been declared healthy from my eating disorder.

I have been blogging for 7 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.

I now blog about recovery, my life, veganism and positivity!

Diets

I got asked if i could post my meal plan from when i was recovering and trying to gain weight and what i eat now.
   
Im gonna post my very first meal plan at Mando. So after practically not eating anything for a few weeks, this was the meal plan i got first.

Breakfast: 2dl yoghurt & 1dl cornflakes & 2 tablespoons raisins & 1 fruit.
Snack: 1 crisp bread & 1 tsp butter & 1 tsp caviar & 2dl orange juice
Lunch: 150g food on the Mando meter & 2dl juice
Snack: 1 rissifrutti (Rice pudding with jam (Muller rice type thing.)) & 2dl juice
Dinner: Same as lunch
Snack: 1 crisp bread & 1tsp butter & 2 tsp jam & 2 dl juice.


And then my very last meal plan ( c.a 2 years later.) And i dont even know how many times i had to increase my meal plan.... (loads of times!)

Breakfast: 1 portion oatmeal & 1dl milk & 3tbs jam & bread with toppings (i.e butter & cheese/ham/jam) & 3dl juice
Snack: 1 rissifrutti or 1 drink yoghurt or 1 slice of bread with topping & a glass of juice
Lunch: 350g cooked food on Mando meter (140g carbs, 105g protein, 70g cooked vegetables & 35g sauce) & 3 dl drink
Snack: 2 slices of bread with topping on both (i.e butter & cheese/jam/ham) & 3dl drink
Dinner: Same as lunch
Snack: 2dl yoghurt & 1dl cereal & fa fruit & 3dl juice.

&&&2 supplement drinks ontop of my meal plan.

^^By that point i was going to school, and had stopped using the Mando meter & didnt measure out my food. (i.e i just poured yoghurt into the bowl without measuring etc) 
and even with that meal plan, i didnt gain weight so fast.... barely 0,5kg a week... some weeks i even lost weight.


And how i eat now: (Which, when looking at my last meal plan... i dont eat as much as i used to!! but more then i have before nayway?!)

Everyday is different but i eat roughly like this:

Breakfast: 1 portion oatmeal & milk & banana & 2 crisp bread with avocado.
Or: Greek yoghurt & fruit salad & latte & 1 crisp bread with an egg.

Snack: Fruit or a handful of nuts.

Lunch: A normal sized portion of food & sometimes extra

Snack: This varies loads!
Sometimes oatmeal with with banana and milk
Or: Fruit salad & yoghurt & nuts & dried fruit
Or: Home made pancakes
Or: Something ive baked
Somedays i even make an omelette or a salad 
Somedays i eat like 100g nuts... or more!! (I used to be so scared of nuts, as yes, they are high in fat. But i love them. And have no problem eating loads of nuts!!! XD 100g is like my usual!! haha XD)

Dinner: Whatever is cooked. 
When im lazy, or cant be bothered to cook something i usually just make a salad (i.e with lots of proteins & veggies) & eat 2 crisp breads with butter.

Snack: Varies alot.
Home made oatmeal pancakes
2 slices of bread with butter
Fruit salad
Yoghurt with nuts and dried fruit
etc
