The foods you eat are the foods I ate during my ED. Especially the fat free greek yogurts, golean, veggie burgers, turkey sandwiches, etc. In fact, I was eating what you were eating when I was relapsing. I won't lie... when I read your blog it made me feel guilty for eating towards recovery and I did feel triggered. But then I realized that what I was doing was right... and what you're doing... I don't know. Good luck Jenna. One day you will be able to eat different foods and enjoy them. I know I have. But you must break out of your comfort zone first. You can recover and eat all the same things... but that would only be your body. What about mentally? What about when you are invited to go out and eat with friends and family? You need to get out of this cycle and then you can really live your life with no silly regrets or worries like oil on your veggie burger.

I know that this just sounds like white n...Jenna,<br /> I know that this just sounds like white noise at this point, but your blog is called "Jenna's Journey" and I'm sorry to say that it doesn't look like you are going anywhere. I myself, like most of the ladies here, know how easy it is to fool yourself into thinking you are further into recovery than you are, simply because you are eating more than you ate at your lowest point. I understand safe foods, believe me I do, but everyday cannot be the same. I used to eat oatmeal every single day for breakfast when I first started recovery, and it was wonderful that I was eating more than usual, but it came to the point where I was afraid to mix it up. I finally realized that this lack of variety screamed of ED, and while I love oatmeal, I was hiding behind it. I was too comfortable. Variety is the spice of life, and it just seems like everyday is the same for you. You wake up, repeat yesterday, and then do it again. That is not living life to the fullest. I am not blaming you, because we have all done some pretty disordered things out of fear, and I don't think anyone here doesn't understand where you are coming from. But at this point, it is frustrating to even read. I know before your page even loads that you had a "yogurt mess" for breakfast, and a turkey sandwich for lunch. I dare you to eat, just one day, something that you remember you enjoyed from your childhood for breakfast. Pancakes? With syrup or butter? I know that probably sounds impossible to you right now, but the only way to get out your comfort zone, and thus, out of your ED, is to just do it! I know you can, if I could. We are all rooting for you, it is just hard to watch someone refuse to truly get help. Recovery cannot be something that is done halfway. You must challenge yourself daily. I urge you to listen to this. I urge you to change up the meat in your sandwich. I urge you to have dessert. I urge you to realize that one day is not going to make or break your weight, but it will help knock down the mental blocks ED fought so hard to build. You can do this. Only you can. <br /> -AbbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-40643469626574928892010-03-15T11:34:24.339-04:002010-03-15T11:34:24.339-04:00GIRLIE!! you are gorgeous and lovely!! please don&...GIRLIE!! you are gorgeous and lovely!! please don't ever let a measly morsel of food scare you! kick ED in the a$$!!!

I think Shelley hit the nail on the head and I think that you really need to go back and read comment 11 again and truly dig into each sentence that she says. I have been reading your blog lately, but I just haven't had the courage to comment because I am not sure what to say. I challenge you to have one day where you eat completely different foods. Not just change your cereal, but eat different things. Girl, that is the fun of eating...getting to try new things and fuel your body with varying nutrients and what not. Avocado, Scrambled Eggs, Omelets stuffed with tons of veggies and cheese, Tuna Salad Sammies, Grilled Cheese, Oatmeal, Mac N Cheese...You see, I don't think that you need suggestions because you read so many great blogs that feature so many great food options. What you need is incentive to CHANGE and try new food options. Challenge yourself to try a new meal from one of your many bloggie friends each day. It could be fun! Think about this girl. You need to make some major changes. I say this because I care about you and can't stand to see each post and how similar they always are.Nutritious is Delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14881068796874881442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-12335406219303074962010-03-14T21:38:48.048-04:002010-03-14T21:38:48.048-04:00Jenna, I am so worried about you. It does not look...Jenna, I am so worried about you. It does not look like you are eating enough...to be completely honest your dinner looks like what someone on maintenance or even a diet would eat. You are missing some very crucial things in your meal plan. From what I have seen, it doesn't look like you are getting enough fat. It looks like you put one tablespoon of PB in your yogurt messes (forgive me if I'm wrong); why not have two? Fats are nothing to be afraid of, they help protect your organs and make your hair shiny and healthy. Fat is essential for people recovering from an eating disorder, especially if you aren't getting your period. I used to have an extreme fear of fat but now I know how important it is. I have 4-5 servings of fat a day (I go through PB jars quite quickly :) Also I've noticed that you eat the same things every day. It is great that you have found something you are comfortable eating, but you shouldn't limit yourself to those foods every day. There are so many other things out there you could be eating and enjoying! Weight restoration is only part of recovery. If you don't challenge yourself to different foods you will never have a true recovery! Another thing I want to mention is the Boost drinks. It seems like you use them as a crutch; rather than eat real food which may be more challenging, you rely on Boost.<br />I apologize if anything I've said comes across as mean, as that is not my intention at all. I am always afraid to criticize others even if it is constructive criticism because I don't want to seem mean, but for something as serious as an eating disorder I think it is imperative that something is said. I want to help you Jenna. I've been where you are before and the advice I'm offering comes from my own experiences. You are such a sweet girl and I would hate for your eating disorder to prevent you from doing things YOU want to do.<br />Take care sweetie and please take my and everyone else's suggestions into consideration.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802894030654900403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-380503625531760622010-03-14T21:33:43.883-04:002010-03-14T21:33:43.883-04:00is that a fat free milk with dinner??is that a fat free milk with dinner??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-44899193340990635602010-03-14T21:33:43.884-04:002010-03-14T21:33:43.884-04:00Shelley just said everything I was going to say.
