I know this time of the year can be very stressful for a lot of people especially of those with ED. The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy and celebration while being around with family and friends sharing good laughs and sitting down for a nice meal. But for those with ED, holidays can cause fear, anxiety, and stress. Now I can totally relate to this because last Thanksgiving and Christmas I was still in my ED and it was horrible. I would get so caught up before hand and think about what I was going to eat and should I eat less before at breakfast since I knew there was going to be a lot of food later in the day to compensate and it was just so annoying and a waste of time. My ED was so strong and was the one in control and not me. I remember last Thanksgiving making my own vegetable dish just to assure myself there would be a "healthy" and "safe" food available for me to eat. But when I look back now I think it was just absurd. This year I have decided to take on a totally different approach on the holidays. I will not be limiting my intake before hand, or thinking about what I am going to eat, or making my own "special" dishes, or anything ED related. I am going to eat how I used to eat without and before my ED and that is that and I can assure you this Thanksgiving I will be indulging in some yummy desserts and that I WILL be eating pie and ice cream for dessert ;) I'm just sayin.</div></span><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Can't wait to share my Thanksgiving recap in my next post :) Off to dinner with the girls!<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Have a great Thanksgiving!!!</span><br /><br /></div><div class="customImage"><br /><a href="http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d55/lax_babe_xo/?action=view&current=sig3.gif" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d55/lax_babe_xo/th_sig3.gif" /></a></div>Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756557276561126304noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-84774567478855267352010-11-15T19:18:00.007-05:002010-11-15T21:10:51.623-05:00Stronger and Stronger<div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><strong>Well hello friends!</strong> How have you all been doing since the last time I posted?!

Well I must start off by saying my Columbus Day weekend at home was wonderful and could not have gone any better! I spent my time with my family and it was definitely an ED-free weekend. As I said in my last post, I was very nervous as to how my transition back home was going to go since last year when I went home for the first time I did not do too well. But let me tell you this past weekend was just the opposite.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />I WANTED this past weekend to go well at home and so I made sure it happened and I DID. I am very proud of myself for doing so well. I proved to myself I could do it as well as to my family. My mom came and picked me up from school Friday afternoon and this was the first time she saw me since she dropped me off at school in late August. I mean I talk to her on the phone everyday and my dad and one of my sisters came up to visit me but I hadn't seen my mom and other sister since leaving for school. So it was very nice to finally see her and give her a big hug :) She said I looked great and I was excited to show her myself and prove to her I was really doing well at school this year.<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />This past weekend I spent time with the fam and went to 2 of my sister's field hockey games, apple picking, and went to my cousin's family party! It was great to see my grammy, aunts, uncles, and all of my cousins. I love when we all get together. I was glad to see everyone sicne I haven't seem them in quite some time. They all commented on how good I looked and for the first time ever in my recovery I was finally HAPPY to hear that! I was actually hoping and looking forward to all the compliments. I wanted to show them I was doing well and I can recover!<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Now let's get onto the food I have been eating lately...<br /></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526574235520563250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-3JfIY5effLFeE5Hk7Nl2OsosET0KG11Yro0glv4bn-ZNRC_BOIVIRphEPZewhWoSJp7pfMmFtret78X_lonNwvtJ3LDp_pdJr2tL6Z-1IzIU41vwD9q09Ls1AU5E7K11bnab37GXOAU/s400/pic9.JPG" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Breakfast all weekend was the usual yogurt messes!</span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526579361276686386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi20FgPmzUkSHuxYHEngmTqBgPBl0ncSb02K3dyI3BNrmtSHDq_hE0U-X1FJJDYzOnzPbiLdtzWvzmoCJGYevrenCxVdwzN96vFPT4HRawCJNoRi9-xJs-DwNr9TTbf-7k2yECNC4Vy-Rc/s400/rollo.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526954653982813826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3-Qhe_QRMaw1GxoWSVoLSu52CbxC5IEnYsuN1UfIOfooX0GWeilkdFuPA0wR4jI5Vi8oukX-t9gAw_Sk1XR9tGhMCzRJNE1ivsJ3D3zaYb8RURWtUD8yMBkd7CJ8B_dYmj-fS3VKWu0/s400/fall2.JPG" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Morning snackies.</span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526580873752400786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP_Cl4xabPn7d4iN_33l4BQcwy1nzpXelpu6QgsuHPoa14yLD_zrWHoIYcM8ebgeMMA0-vErTxQyUAV4TJ6ntFJk_6ZBUKzqNaBFZbTn70IUrm9SoInfWpDS6YesgS_58dzW072nceccQ/s400/subway.JPG" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">I had Subway for lunch on Saturday and I was so disappointed.

So I am currently in my room anxiously awaiting for my mom to come pick me up to go HOME! This will be my first time going home since school started in late August, so I haven't been home in quite some time. I am excited and happy to go home and spend time with my family and relax but I am also nervous as to how I am going to do recover wise. I remember this time last year when I went home for the long weekend for the first time last year. I was doing well all the way up to the point until I went home. I am not quit sure what exactly caused me not to do well at home, but I pretty much think it was the change (as I am terrible with change!) But it is definitely something I have been improving on :) I just hope I will continue to do what I have been doing here up at school while at home for the long weekend. Just take it <strong>DAY BY DAY ;)</strong></span></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />I want to make it a stress free and ED free weekend with my family. I want to prove to them I really have been doing well while at school. I think being at home will go well. Plus, I already asked my mom to make her homemade lasagna tomorrow night!

Before, I felt like I had to read a few blogs everyday to see what's going on in their lives and I got so wrapped up in reading them they were taking up all my time and were coming over my school work :( This school year has been totally different and better since I am busy with nursing, school work, & friends. I have realized I can't just sit behind a computer all day reading about food and other people's lives while they are having fun, I need to embrace it and LIVE MY LIFE! So that is exactly what I have been doing while at school :) I have been going out with friends on the weekends so much more than I did last year! The first weekend back I school I went out Thursday, Friday AND Saturday. Party animal, yeah I know ;) I have learned that college is supposed to be the best time of your life and that is how I want to remeber it as, and so far I have definitely have been succeeding in doing so!<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Well I am off to grab some lunch with friends!

I want to keep moving in the right direction I am on now and continue for the rest of the summer and into the new school year.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />I have just been focusing on the present and that is what really keeps me going lately! The more and more I recover it has been getting easier and easier and I have less ED thoughts. I used to constantly think of food and when my next meal was going to be and what was I going to have etc. But now I don't think about food as much and I don't think too much about my next meal, I just take care of it when the time comes around. Because worrying about the future is gonna get me anywhere!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />I have also gotten to be very flexible now a days with what and when I eat which is a huge step and I am so proud of for. I used to eat on a very rigid time schedule and I would wait until the exact minute to when I could eat, or should I say to when ED would allow me to eat. I now try to eat every 2 1/2 hours or so but if I am hungry before that then I will just EAT! No biggie! And then before I would always rush to eat if I was late and not following my time schedule, ED would totally get me going and I hated it. But now the timing of when I eat doesn't all that affect me. Sometimes I am not hungry for dinner around 7pm so I will wait longer and then other times if I am out and we eat at 6pm I am fine with that. Time doesn't really bother me anymore. I have learned to just go with the flow and everything really does work out and if it doesn't then you just work around to fix it.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />So enough blabbin' I will now show you some of my eats lately ;)<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503222527800198050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTegNraYgGlM0_car15z8O-VdCJYRwPeIPz-jkZWqxdlDwyScQrKivFhbFfLzkR9GB0AfhyAbOWp3TPgRYr8otNxRwmM_m1_utQr-4ahBx18sOvEqYmlpnmAtHwEeg4kRrNubA8PfDqho/s400/yogmess2.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Typical yogurt messes of course ;)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503221819679322562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi57IzM44VF756NoXUIaLgMh5XpZ2OnmqBXrtOZNQMLhhAMP_yzzgCmisfcevDtGGqsiOgy8r2RKUmwgXlpbnaOWt39Lssu625QQscnzusdgxiQrb4e_ngVUBllLY2t3X8Uq_ECHxt4X2o/s400/breaky.jpg" /><strong>Scrambie eggs, banana, english muffin with buttah and milk</strong>.

They just take food to a whole new level.</span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497095066024777906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJ_en4iDUA0Q5im12F28mikpq-ltM0A7qDtWakhrc7-z2BEm3Y1-RpSFGZ0-Bcyb01WIyCQAHn4Lgo-7tGAa_DaQnmr5STBXfCTyvE6Rno81V6lBPwDxPWr_diSxsHtqppciusTAOXVs/s400/lunch.jpg" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Ham & cheese sandwich, pretzels, and an apple.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">Of course like I said above I have been having lots of bars for snack lately...need I say more?!</span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497095061699441714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7o1A2ptNGddPxXlIX7OB5KVRoTHaDnjTGF9FZ27DarmUI4cL5A8X5jF_lJFkR8JKHTsp07dvD9DAbyKXUDCakhW01_oYadqXcoCmIuguhmzzO5-Y9gC6fTgV9vy7vkzlVfeGSCVQso8/s400/coolmint.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497094464916478098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3tYLNs92OBYkh9K7RcdyyKmRxjmK6MlxEmPLtBPq4zEetvjk9UBXKRG3jC1D3GYfpPuonX2Dd0mvlHYW9r3_3f5wEwWt2RgXqUpss_PKfMgsmy_VbDLgVYMavCV9LY0w0ZwX2imLk8A/s400/clif2.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497094458368283298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Jxl1dYBpoEkIFCJaA1_mr_KAvERVWXflrWeUqv5XBYO6nVvnT-wtgWuZhzb4sJWBnUBEsXMIItRhFxDXl-Qtcphx3OtXV_qWRF73speMod4yJ2SqC0FCKOMdNNzIDFMr5B6gVNKb5mw/s400/clif.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497094453905575746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorl0iXIjZh5xsRWSW1QXaxRwREffbp4LQEP86-uo9zpGi_u7FxJb_w48vT4zWeKC4o3sX0D6hPmtzRfOBkgmqtMwIO3hCLhssLPNWkjwm-fy7xSrinS-OknsT9Uwz-pbPvBa5pK6V9g0/s400/cheeseburger.jpg" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Dinner last night was a cheeesburger with all the fixings and some of my mom's pasta salad!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />So like I have probably said before on my blog but if you haven't heard me talk about it I will now. In high school I was a 3 sport varsity athlete in soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. Although my favorite out of the 3 sports was by far LACROSSE ;) I started playing when I was in seventh grade and I absolutely loved it ever since. I also played club lacrosse all through out high school and then go recruited to play Division II college lacrosse. Lacrosse is such a cool fun sport that is different from others and is new and up incoming!<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />My family is very involved in sports. Sports will and always be a big part in my life. I just find that playing or watching sports is fun! My dad is a super sports fanatic, while my mom is the director of girls lacrosse in my town and my two younger sisters play field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse. We are a very busy family and always on the go, either at practices, games, or tournaments.<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />But with all of that said this past week got me really thinking a lot about my past and what ED has robbed me of and most of all how much I really do miss lacrosse :( I will be completely honest with you, when I was real deep in my ED I could care less about pretty much anything and didn't care that I completely gave up and lost my athletic scholarship to play DII lacrosse.<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />This summer has been pretty tough for me but definitely motivational in a way. Since it is the summertime, my younger sister has had many lacrosse tournaments which I have gone to watch her play! Going to her tournaments has brought back sooo many memories of being playing the sport I loved and this was quite emotional for me. I would just remember all of the fun times I had together with my friends and teammates and just the overall feeling I got when I played. Just seing my sister and all of these other girls playing lacrosse was hard for me to watch knowing that I WAS once before one of them playing lacrosse and it kills me now to think about it.<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Last week my sister went to a lacrosse camp at a local college nearby where the college girls on the Division I lacrosse team were the counselors. When I went to watch my sister at camp I noticed all of the college girls there at the camp who were just so healthy and happy looking and made me want to be just like them again. I mean I once WAS one of them before so I know I can be like that again. A healthy and happy athletic college lacrosse girl :) I noticed that NONE of the girls were stick skinny but they all had healthy weight on them and were in great shape, fit and toned. It was a HUGE eye-opener for me and I cam to realize that you are not considered "fat" when you play sports (that is just ED telling me so)...you are considered HEALTHY and that is what I want to be!!<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />I realized ED has stolen one thing I really loved playing and had a true passion for and now I am going to get it BACK! I know this is ONE HUGE goal I am setting for myself but it is definitely something I want back into my life that I have missed so much. I am up for this challenge and I am so ready to keep moving forward and in the right direction in recovery which is just one more step closer to playing lax on the field once again!<br /></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 304px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497102804607207154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgevZTtFrmQTTR1b-QK8q0QWIVn1wy_XhXhE4CtQE0zSRWbGf56SSoD7N-5uNK0pW2cbxAhahNuJ4M98OCnQommC6EK04W6uPz6DhjV1808v63rPF2la36HAb731aFsdpBnJwdWJh5qCY4/s400/sticks.PNG" /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Now I am off to get packing to set out on vacation!

My time was spent visiting my cousins in CT for the weekend and let me just alsi say I am POOPED! Watching two lil ones under the age of 3 who have lots of energy and are oh so cute take a lot of work!</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">I am gonna do a lil recap of my eats this past weekend. I was very proud of myself because all I brought was 2 clif bars and 2 Boosts for snacks and that's it. I was going to make myself eat whatever was available and to not bring my special "safe" foods. I knew I was going to be OK because <a href="http://jennaelise.blogspot.com/2010/06/be-in-it.html"><span style="color:#3333ff;">last time</span></a> I visited them their kitchen was fully stocked and it was this time around as well.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495413772805890578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwtPQ1D52aVSIJmAXRoZGclj4lmDmUG6dPhoYuK4sRgB4pzz85Ju5ajTWKFVgCpynQkUeHJGNOj6hMRMLsJWBHH-cqXKCykfbjyr-F3H5qUpNWkPpUCdhOCF79nVoAgLk84qvRIumuAE/s400/hoenstbar2.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">Before I went out to run all of my errands I ate this new to me <strong>Alomnd Trail Mix Earnest Bar</strong>. This bar was delicious and there was some flavor in it that just took this bar to the next level. Can't wait to try out the other flavors as well!<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Before we hit the road I ate some lunch.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495413781654593202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEz7ocCd5gZcShckkYHg0YjWEB-St1diWcjz16wVQa0ggH6yql0AMphJq7su0bMqkq7ayi3D26o9GajEeXqXh3rXXpHMz-N5h9_n6PKuEAhJLzlCUdK-5xSBgcKiqHJgmausNjP2yAvDQ/s400/lunch.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Turkey & American Cheese on wheat with a pear and Annie's Cheddar Bunnies (loves!!)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495413789660622898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2i_bEbSxMV1yZN8pVlSo4NxUtxxdIus_L6u0H2RGRjXnTzcces5QBMLJzg0Lgsewtvrpwnu7O9_hwfU_L86GOa_hrl9QE5eWeI93UV5JWa5-KgqiJO9LVOl_qZGgZGpqk7FMM6AmlpJ4/s400/clif2.jpg" />Afternoon snack in the car was a <strong>White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Clif Bar</strong>.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br />We finally arrived after a few hours in the car and I was so excited to see my cute lilttle cousins. Then it was barbeque time!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495413792345740754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFOw_IbQFTAAXFDtEeRfsLkr_9EYw7-QPvTuIDD6wu68OO8KSuqaQBrDbZrnMvUnexb52yhb8zvRIFEJesbvrmpoLVzUKgd4eFXITbvOt0fatvJk9ER1H8bitvXlClnw64I7OG7fABGTo/s400/bbq.jpg" />For the first time ever I had a <strong>turkey dog</strong>! There was also chicken and burgers but to tell you the truth I am quite sick of both of those so I decided to go with the turkey dog. I haven't had a hot dog in soo long and I was glad I had one the other night. Even though it wasn't a REAL beef hot dog (it was a turkey hot dog) I really couldn't taste the difference! </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">I was happy with myself for choosing something different despite whatever ED told me because quite frankly he did tell me to go with the boring chicken but I didn't listen, I ate what I wanted and NOT ED. With the turkey dog I had some baked beans and some TJ's stir fried veggies. After dinner we all hung out together and I had a Boost later on then went to bed since it was getting late.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">After a good night's sleep I woke up ready to spend the day with the kiddos!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495419499446523282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNhyphenhyphenjESIOe0uBKQD5rRewXuWiVbfS1xiUXvxV87MzMWmnsjO589cb_G4X9Sky5GTIZvGIy_QpzSj2z3IlvHpC-Z4wczY-uOwFTcSIS8gmRPoF2pqgGBuYIqI7doYMmkQPW4mWgEdFfeg/s400/break.jpg" />I had a yogurt mess with Fage and Cheerios topped with banana and <a href="http://www.justinsnutbutter.com/index.php"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Justin's</span></a> butter. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495414335283864770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Hl9zV7dlhYmUZY4xgIqmMAmhvfr3JuZ6TcWzKO70ayD0tNAi-rLSMpX3S9QyJh992OJ5qYutu6_8WGDTs1jiphFJpJtx91qOAYzNAuRjNjXatwRDdgfJ5sn43jv0eRYedmpvBsISFV4/s400/mojo.jpg" /><strong>Clif Mojo Sweet & Salty Trail Mix Bar</strong> for snack. This bar is so good filled with tons peanut butter chips and I love the sweet & salty combo.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">My aunt, grammy, cousin and I took the two little ones downtown for the afternoon since we were on babysitting duty for the day! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495419498696768274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEgN5Zxnd07JIWmij8Wh9S2XkKVLmyOSqzmXBsppaU3fekxxrgWvUk8_Nsjsl9x7cuvIOQhwoFqdZ0zsrN5-FqEaqhuCyJ3Ide9bEjtNAb5zEFSBsXAgP7DxE8H_EqhoTBhA2KLfHXBG8/s400/uncles.jpg" />We first stopped at <strong>Uncle's Deli</strong> for lunch. My aunt and uncle mentioned this place to be good and it was voted the best deli four years in a row so we just had to stop and eat there. The thing I learned this weekend is that the kids go first and I go second! I hade to make sure they got their lunch and ate it before I could get mine!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495414338201338146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnFIncalEdJeS9loVwnKZNcWu8Y0eevHuyhDkNHBSaQjYSQu1cA16v5n89rn8H61XVdbBrFP7I_1vYBTiMI3_7waLXDaG4LdtE6zRoufB2jrBgjeFdTnxkicsm9EKA5On0rrweKuQtiO0/s400/unclejoes.jpg" />I got the typical turkey, american cheese, lettuce, and tomato on wheat bread. The sandwich was loaded with turkey as you can see. When it comes to ordering sandwiches for lunch I always tell myself I am going to try something new since there are SO many different chooses but ED always chimes in and just tells me to go with my usual go to lunch sandwich and I can't stand it because I WANT to eat something new! I mean I do love turkey but having it almost ever day I kind of get sick of it and want and need a change, so that is one thing I am definitely working on now a days.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495414340107097618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDeJUMEOKzek6J1Q68lRebe_k6txKZGZwm9LM-oU5eSSHj1L5TGItHWXFhu0cB2jY2bxr6BTKjkk4Ypynt1ajT7vw4yU3k5w4j3pKSVo55d1zgls6Vi1ef_sXa_kQ0_j2-eooOF1JW9CY/s400/clif.jpg" />Afternoon snack was a <strong>Chocolate Chip Clif Bar</strong> before heading to the beach before dinner. We went around 6 o'clock and the beach was so nice beacuse it was not super HOT but it was still very enjoyable.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495414347062612626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKYWKUtQLIj0QRuuL267V4mibm_1lECGONuOD1jX6oxw7Go-CbdTQXZXb2oxm5-fVE0eutTtv4-UYRkYS7MVZlMNsDREnfrioHVwwv5PAD7evEzoVkq8hL7g7fU6revV1b5W-MjC-mZHg/s400/dinner.jpg" />For dinner we just got take out and I got a <strong>Grilled Chicken salad</strong> with bread on the side. It was definitely not the world's greatest, just a typical pizzza house salad. Blah. But like Janetha always says ya win some, ya lose some and I guess I lost this one. Later last night I had a Boost and then went straight to bed because I was tired and needed some major rest.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">This morning I woke up and made breakfast for the two little ones and then made myself breakfast.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495414352895781266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS8v6meYlbxPo4zE3OwDVkBSg4YnayPhVRtIisBy6V4SKUMN-0eh1Lqt1Xa9eAz3Mf3auVcaCPjqjjaNcNkSmpBGbVJlN6bARjoKhNpcX6uwA9smZB9gJzCJIrtzqIyoODwQ8nEeXzrjI/s400/fage.jpg" />I had another yogurt mess in the Fage container with the last remains of the yog, Kashi Honey Sunshine and banana topped with Costco creamy peanut butter which was very good and creamyyy. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495414872707212978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD_zEAPRq8gNf2SJvCQZscopJpEUkryiv41WTiFjOtd5ThWF59SDaT60X0rmvYJ-iTRcXDFQ78tM72Zl0hF_sGo2BSYXkbDcBfCt8Z-umlLM2Hv5wxE_UZgKaRBBgDkb02jWofJDANYi0/s400/pb.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495414857626770466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAHgq-hkvwZvWSpLqOeDe6UMY93qMe4FQ73WQ9Qxvg6y64-HH010mrBqJ415BteoYwgsPWp01kSRMdayGYts9Wstj1WllHZ8Z35_7RMrNj27HKbel1weBZbdvld23FtZfBvP0gUyea5RI/s400/luna.jpg" /> I ate a <strong>Lemon Zest Luna Bar</strong> this morning for a snack and realized how much I really miss Luna Bars so I need to make sure I have them more often ;) Then I went for a walk with the kids in the stroller around the neighborhood.</span><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">For lunch we went to the <strong>Sugar Bowl Luncheonette</strong>! My aunt and uncle recommended we all go there for lunch since they love it and now I know why. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495411518339333810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKSYCK-iztehugNK3gyGlmJgTSiChfsJ8GBw4AWxc1rhPgi3CV_icL7VnnLjj6s9WRqaq2w6oOGb8UZs9-60GDZL31sG2XdvBJ4hCvx4mglEkxTPwpDqc0rLJOB3X7TzLXu0aG0ct-8O0/s400/sugarbowl.jpg" />The inside was super cool and I wish I took some pictures. It was filled with summery and beachy things and my aunt said they always decorate for all the holidays! I love how it was so hip and very diner like!

I would order it out at restaurants and loved my mom's homemade chicken alfredo. But ever since ED I have strayed away from it because of course the dreaded SAUCE. ED would once again tell me not to have this meal because of the sauce, he would suggest I just have it plain with the noodles, broccoli, & chicken. Umm can you say boring and so not tasty?! I think so. I mean of course I would be getting in my carbs, veggies, and protein, but hello what about a lil bit of fat to make this dish taste that much better! I was so glad I had this meal for dinner and it tasted amazing :)</p></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><p align="center"><br />Yesterday my mom and I made one of our weekly visits to Target (of course) and this little package spotted my eye ;)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494505792767081506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKP1RuEYnEDKi4afimNE-X0-3IQglSB6TjqybVlHPBthyrBPlq1CLcq6nrw8-QvOujAsyb00wVBqyMjvVCAvASE-UZHhN1qPGkmwP5tFDxau-Oxcr-rnI0QctfonhHfAD9ao-k8O6C16g/s400/pfdinner.jpg" /></p><p align="center">This would be <strong>P.F.

They were also on clearance since I don't think they are selling at the Target I go to. But don't worry because I bought them ;) <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494505788706060994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlP3T2saUK2EX_MqSZwRDQ5ytcMD36bwZKkgQqhyMMcWUpvXGSG-olMQaIpOJL_gR_lF-kkGPbAwcviY-37PISurJ_EfoURh95kHz2GXaJHwfTitYcnPfrH2eURHir3EkWzac-l1dFGRc/s400/pf.jpg" />This meal was super easy to cook as well. All I had to do was cook it on a skillet on medium high for about ten minutes and look how tasty it looks! It was as if I was actually dining at P.F.

One interesting topic my therapist and I talked about was how to not let ED make me worry so much about what is going to happen in the future. I need to just let it happen even though I always like to know what is going to happen. But what I have learned is that fearing the unknown and not knowing what exactly is going to happen is okay and sometimes surprises can be okay and good. I just need to stop worrying and go with the flow and for the most part everything will fall into place and be okay.<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />I was also glad to meet with my nutritionist to go over my meal plan to make sure it is working.

ED definitely stirred up a bit of stress for me when I found out we were going to an Italian restaurant and were given only 4 chooses from...Chicken parm, Veal parm, Stuffed Flounder, or Chicken Francese. ED told me to order something else that was "safe" from the menu but I didn't want to be THAT girl ordering something "special" from the menu that nobody else could order. I am no more special or more important than anyone else there and I decided I was going to order one of those 4 chooses for dinner and eat it because I also didn't want to be THAT girl at the table not eating!</span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />I started off with a House Salad with Italian dressing.

This past weekend at my sister's tournament I kinda struggled a bit. To tell you the truth on Saturday I did not follow my meal plan quite so well although ED was quite happy, deep down inside I was not. That is why I tried to get back on track on Sunday. I think it is real hard for me when I am not at home to recovery. I seem to do well at home because there are less distractions to interfere with my recovery. Although I do know that I need to be able to recover under any circumstances.<br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br>One thing I have been having a real hard time with is comparing myself to other girls and how they look vs. how I look. ED always tells me that I should look like her because she is skinnier than me but in reality I know she is NOT as skinny as I am but ED convinces me that she is and that I don't need to gain any more weight. When this happens I always go to my sisters and ask them if that girl is skinnier than me and they will say "Jenna, are you serious? NO!" When I am struggling with ED thoughts I always go to my sisters because they give me the reassurance I need.

Of course this was such an ED behavior. I just didn't want my family looking at me and the food I was eating or not eating.

Uhh ohhh! So what was I gonna do, get my food and go up and eat alone? HELL NO! I was hungry and I was gonna get my food and sit down at the table by the pool and eat my dinner even though everyone else had finished eating and was currently talking. I don't know what it was but something just hit me and I did what I wanted to do and not what ED wanted to do! I got my plate and sat down and got eating and talking, it felt great! Even though I saw my aunt and grandma look at what I was eating I knew that was expected and I don't think those "helicopter" eyes are gonna go away from me anytime soon.

But now as the summer is here with the hot temperatures I can't cover my body in sweatshirts and sweatpants as I need to start wearing summer clothes.</span><br /></div><br /><div class="customImage" align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">But the problem is that i look absolutely horrible in summer clothes and I hate the way my body looks as it is NOT the way it should look! I hate how skinny my arms and legs are and how my chest bones stick out, it is gross and I can't stand it!!</span></div><br /><div class="customImage" align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">This hit me last week when the temperatures were really hot and I was wearing light sweatpants and a t-shirt and it sucked. I was sweating to death as I was wishing I could wear my summer clothes like everyone else. I also hate the fact that it is summertime and I can't even go swimming or wear a bathing suit and feel comfortable in it without people looking at me like a freak.</span><br /></div><br /><div class="customImage" align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">That is why I went out shopping a few days ago and bought a super cute outfit that I can't wait to wear once I get better! My motivation now is to be able to look happy, healthy, comfortable, and beautiful in my clothes! Every time that I struggle with ED thoughts or eating I just remind myself that each step I take in ignoring ED will just get me closer and closer to recovery and closer to being able to wear all my clothes!</span><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487167062434654034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrK77PmRwNgYbnYTAn1vembDaktaviYz3FdiqGveCjsR4dJXoUHlMDEjE655Hf4U1TogPJPXZ9ji3YjOF7cGa6-e9ncIuEdp8kWD97ZXKvgeaCU8zyg5lXSygqxwTEBfGK-ty-HGQQ620/s400/dress.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487167069485052306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjB8Fnc-r65ReXTIfItR9psy3Liz_Ws-U-k3EPfmeNQRw_wUZLmpOCTAav4EiQjpETuo23U8JYEuOGFglrCKn2SUhtGZ-r1ygF_ojK6dkPZeOTehX-JZbvVTXSeuc4eUXbY-b2SJ0tEc8/s400/jewelry.jpg" /> <p align="center"> <span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">Last night I tried on the dress with all of the accesories and showed my mom. Yeah I know you are probably thinking why I did that! Well I decided to show her because I felt this impulse all of a sudden as I was just so happy in myself that I WANT to 100% recover and be able to wear this outfit soon! When I think of how good my life will be after I recover I get in such a good mood and can't wait to recover each day and become that much closer to beating ED. I know it may sound weird but it's true for me!</span></p><div class="customImage" align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">I showed my mom the outfit and I told her how good I would look in this outfit with more weight on me and she began to smile and cry at the same time because she obvs loved the outfit but more importantly she was happy to hear that I finally realized how I need to gain weight not only to look normal in clothes but more importantly to be <strong>HEALTHY</strong>!</span></div><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">But like I said <a href="http://jennaelise.blogspot.com/2010/06/day-by-day.html"><span style="color:#3366ff;">yesterday</span></a> in my post I just keep taking it <em><strong>day by day</strong></em> and that is the only way to do it!</span><br /></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><em><strong>What motivates you these days?!</strong></em></span><br /></p><br /><div class="customImage"><a href="http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d55/lax_babe_xo/?action=view&current=sig3.gif" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d55/lax_babe_xo/th_sig3.gif" /></a></div>Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756557276561126304noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-12570934102821481822010-06-25T21:08:00.016-04:002010-06-26T09:39:04.457-04:00Day by Day<div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Hello petunias</strong> and <strong>Happy Friday</strong>!

Of course it wouldn't be a complete week if I didn't have lunch with her ;) Since she didn't really feel like going out we instead got take out from a local Irish pub.</span></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">I got very anxious and nervous beforehand because since we weren't at the restaurant there wasn't a menu for me to check out and view the food. I ordered the baked haddock and hoped that I would enjoy it.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485382229739015794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyASP5YUXDCSttYqk3J3i4Yl-gfiBh0xw9EfhtVcx20DMRFTK9CEKyM2cK7ekoxhULV0EMcfzJkeR0fenGgkE5so8138dXIhEP2PcmjOzVHkXj0XrSISliWYTVSjBh95MmQBj7u4RqnQI/s400/haddock.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">As soon as I opened up the container ED began to freak out and immediately told me I could <strong>NOT</strong> eat that piece of fish because of the "<em>mysterious</em>" sauce that was all over it. I just looked at it took a deep breath and told ED to shut up and that I was going to eat and enjoy my meal.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />My lunch also came with a side of rice and coleslaw. I was hoping it would have came with a veggie but it didn't and there was nothing I could do about it then. I also had two mini rolls as well.

I am afraid of it since it is such a different type of food and I never know what the food will look like. I like the feeling of knowing what my food is going to look like and I feel like Chinese food is always kind of a mystery. But then when I acutally see a certain dish that is presented I never thought of it looking like that. I don't know if that makes any sense but that is just how I feel! I never know how exaclty it fits into my meal plan, if I am eating enough or too much, and I also hate how most of the foods are cooked with unknown sauces that ED tells me to stay away from and overall Chinese food just puts me over the edge! I hate it.</span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Luckily my aunt did have a take out menu for us to look at which was definitely helpful so I could see what they had to offer.

Since I am at a low body weight and BMI my body cannot afford to get sick because it will be very hard to fight off the sickness. So I made sure I took every precaution to take care of myself in order to recover from this sickness ASAP.<br /></span></div><div class="customImage" align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><div class="customImage" align="center"><br />My boring eats from yesterday included...<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484102650953176130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimv-kjG8eIbDtBp1k5kPnFHGj4zbkypwbXOfevwD83oJBWwrp_QJ0HN5Ewnj8aQgHSN9WLjzsd3SZC-q53Cem86meK3dTf3wep9tzIzUFTzOq75gJoPtitiPip_PixXOeDeEw6wxWx_38/s400/breaky.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484103095736249970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu7C1XbA9q9OkeapDi2xIC5MUx3yxzlnJQihMQH16h4Jjr55j6FJJArK8hUm6Pi5MCqyk2gqJ4qO-T8gTRGEUvzqCVJBDe78JceYtjtQFIJ6x2NnRZh-d5vahESdj4ROSemhUzjEb_vzo/s400/pbcrackers2.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484103090690677186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu5M5QM54PPQSk_ZSFcBCdvIaboiHIbbNlyt04uRiOBnoz9WXqMI7W8BLhyaMAcP9UYwolGZQYxsSCXrIQVBhSC-_qohc6wL44b-V4gsSMQihWAny8i_Fhyphenhyphenw-YeXztahu2SNxEyXh1OVw/s400/pbcrackers.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484102646404287074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWsWzmclZB3cCTacZuJmn5Qyx5P4JGHaWXMBHqrdtzej8xgVGq3wPe_Oy8en5IV5yUnFRtXK0lnmk6aZ7RxrjxSwqcK3Wr51WH-CE8YePwJQ33833aMyC__DcaLN-C6vsqE5zLs8RyVvo/s400/ABJ.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484103098107880770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu79KDWYW81N3P0U7si9QcpTWW0iF6O6CWsO8djBCc3CFCrNQpinqbfZc3ABTlYWODD_wDy_E9fM3gLCg22atCqGldDVgd4Kz9Ki09ZTPcnIeJhQpcMinQ4FKyoK3KhJw2_wtNepOLENo/s400/planters.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484102668201180306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzMbGJkHtt5ZMf2NidT1dpA-wwhdrQ1f5zPuIDPyG4Z7zohLfthsEAp8wXOnnKzMtlpd1ZvkSdouNPapEgnvVtpjYDYVJnfL_WXLE9acJMWOmsoLhnAcgz71TkWhRpzTfw5EVesA53SnY/s400/omlet.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484102665290542514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdYDLQ9-O4MiNt2-Zy1Prpm_Xkx6i6GkmdT_5nR3wliIrC160MNY3FJKvq1DYeQcJwNZAR0wNHaOfPitdzA1oIH_tCUEhtZ35lS5qSMSF72ofybnvk-2rA_GImpHigtDiFy56Xui5WBJU/s400/coolata.jpg" />This morning I woke up feeling much better! Still not 100% but pretty close. Since it had been nearly 48 hours since I last "tossed my cookies" I thought my stomach would be able to handle dairy products once again and what better way than to start my morning with <strong>2% STRAWBERRY BANANA Chobani</strong> yogurt!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484102655170309074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1pJ_6RAW6hQmnAfVVpmfzEX0MSi3pR5UkGfzv8wQ4Ex_XIrV75zn6LE3R4hdbNgylBdQifro9v2WYOfWGb3m8x1tJv3_wURoErceII8qLoBhrnJ7BN3Kpv4TUzDzIXZZz4I2-QO61NM/s400/chob.jpg" />This was my FIRST time ever trying 2 % Greek yogurt. This was definitely a challenge for me since I am used to my non-fat Greek yogurt. I legit bought this yogurt nearly two weeks ago and this morning I was finally brave enough to eat it!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484104276154754786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2WcIbTJwiiRNCxzMtpcmL6ZU1cAviGqUeO7kgzSkcBfOm5jlRO1uPKmiuqmFcPS5ipwbzg2ev2Hcfq9VZY_Zu07EQRwd2l-zkappjm8xqLGIN3RF21glip9Q8R6JQYJfS-j0c0kvwL40/s400/yog.jpg" />The 2% yogurt totally beats non-fat yogurt in the texture department. It was so much creamier and I loved the mix of strawberry and bananas together! I will no longer avoid the 2% yogurt just because my ED tells me they are just so called "wasted fat" that my body does not need...but in reality my body does need fat! I will definitely be purchasing this yogurt again :)</div><p align="center"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I also broke open a new jar of </span><a href="http://www.teddie.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;">Teddie's</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> Smooth peanut butter.
