To the anonymous who wrote on my previous post. I know exactly what you mean,and I'm sure othera think the same thing sometime. You wonder why I choose stevia instead of sugar or 0,1% quark instead of 10%... Well because the low fat one is cheaper and tastea better.
You have to remember that you only see a little off my diet and what i eat on my blog. You dont know whether I had a slice of my home chocolate cake (made with sugar, butter and white flour) after dinner. or if I had 1 square or 4 squares of dark chocolate after lunch.

I make food choices that i want. I dint follow any rules on what I can or can't eat. In fact most of the time I eat salted nuts which is a big no-no if yiu are a health-junkie. But i dont care about that. I like salted nuts so i eat them.
my family don't think it's weird with how or what I eat. So i dont think a stranger should do then.
Also you have to remember that I am recovered. and have been for almost 2 years. I dont have fear foods. I listen to my body. Somedays I crave chocolate somedays i dont. Sometimes I say no when something is of offered somedays I take double. While you are in recoveryYou have to eat all types of foods and face your fears and feat foods. but I an recovered and make ny own choices. Based on what I want.
Also I think people find it so easy to judge me based on my past. but also because I'm slim. If an overweight person trying to lose weight were to cut out processed and sugary foods. They would be told they're doing great. But because of my past and I'm slim I'm judged as sick?
To all of you who had the same inquiries. Hopefully this makes you understand!
&& Also with the pictures of my food... this is for the blogs sake. Not for my own. I spend extra time making my food look good, then actually taking a good picture... For my blog. To show everyone what i eat - because so many people have asked for it.
And telling me to just eat normal yoghurt and see what happens. Well nothing happens, because i eat normal yoghurt 5/7 days a week. And with the butter - well we dont even have butter at home, because that is not what we eat at home.
Remember that everything that we have in the house, evenything that i eat - My parents buy that stuff. They know what i eat. And trust me, i think they would tell if i had an ED before any one of my readers would. Because my family see me everyday, see how i behave, see what i eat or dont eat. And they dont think its weird.
I just felt i should clarify a little more :)
Thank you very much for your answer and that you do not take my thoughts as something negative. as i like your blog a lot and find it helpfull, inspiring and most of all: You give hope! That`s so great. What i wrote were just some thoughts....as i read in an other recoveryblog, written by a Girl who seems to me a)recovered and b)smart and honest, well, she writes how much she dislikes all the "oatmeal-yoga-exercising-cleaneating"-quasi-recovery-Girls on tumblr or instagram, who keep telling People that they do everything they do bc it makes them feel good (Sport for ex., doing a lot of yoga or eating lots of vegetables instead of normal Food). I do not say that YOU are one of These Girls, but it made me think.
ReplyDeleteLove.
Dont worry i didnt take your comment as negative, i just felt that i should explain myself, as i am sure you arent the only one who has had the same thoughts. When i hve such an open blog, it is easy to get judged, and its not good to let things get to you, thats why i decided to answer in a post.
DeleteI know there are alot of people who have 'recovered' from an ED- though i really dont think they have. Instead they just mask their sick behaviour with clean eating and exercising, and that of course isnt healthy. And there are many of those types of people on IG and TUmblrs, i have even written posts about that.
Infact i would like to know the adress of the other bllog you read? It would be great to read as well!
Just to make it clear, I don't want to sound rude/ offensive to the the 'anonymous person' above because I'm not referring to you:
ReplyDeleteI totally feel you Izzy:DD I also like eating healthy food just because of the taste.. I don't really like sweet stuff and that's completely unrelated to my ED since I consider myself 97% recovered.. I mean, I also love the not 'nutritious food' like bread with butter, pizza etc. but I don't fancy frozen yogurt, cakes and all that good stuff. I'm more that type of girl who'd rather eat a double portion of cheesy pasta than eat some dessert afterwards. But it's so annoying when friends (who don't know about my ED) comment on my life style like "are you on a diet or why don't you eat ice cream. god you are too healthy... you just ran so much just eat a piece of cake" ugh idk just a ramble of thoughts.... Why do we have to like certain unhealthy food to not to be considered weird in the teenager's society????

Everyone has different tastes and likes.. .thats like i dont like pizza. Just everythingn about pizza which i dont like, and of course lots of people my age find that hard to understand... its like all teenagers HAVE to like pizza, or your weird. Hahah. But that is not the case.
ReplyDeleteIts annoying with those types of comments,but if you dont like something then you dont have to eat it... as long as they are healthy choices.
Thank you so much for being Kind Izzy :-) It`s good to clearify things, to understand People better bc due to the Internet it is so easy to misunderstood a Person you just "know" by a blog or sth.

I find it helpfull, as a matter of fact yours and her blog are my favourites! :-)
Have a great day love
To Xenia: Of course ist okay to like healthy Food and i do not Claim in any way to suggest everybody should eat Fastfood, chocolate and Pudding *g* But i think if a Person with an ED or ED-past you always have to be carefull, when it gets to "favourites" bc during my time as an inpatient there would be VERY many patients who "naturally and forever since" disliked: cake, Cookies, fried Food, fast Food, ice cream, high carb Food, Juice, butter, White bread, Chips, nuts, Pudding, bananas, sugar, pancakes, noodles, meat, ham, Lasagne, Pizza, cheese....i think you get it. If you would ask them say would asure you, they LOVE JUST vegetables and salöad without Dressing ever ever since....as if.
