Food thoughts and meal talk

Breakfast

feeling uncomfortable, feeling full and fat.its not nice.its horrible.

but its not going to kill me

Bulimia might though

I am NOT going to make myself sick. I dont need to.

Right now i feel all kinds of horrible.But logically-well being sick isnt actually going to take any of the messiness of this situation away.Its going to make me feel physically more comfortable-yes.But eventually that will happen by itsef anyway. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

The biggest thing with food for me-is well what is a meal anyway? when i was a kid, we wee given whatever mum's latest fad/restriction thing was, orshe would go through oddball phases.we didnt really have meals.
So im thinking about mealplans and actually, a lot of the problem is thats its a bit of an alien concept to me. I've looked up mealplans online-but the ones i have found are for weight restoration. NOT ed talking-but that isnt what i need. It sounds so silly-but im really confused by the whole thing.what goes with what?yknow its kind of mindmoggling. im nearly 26-and really i havnt a clue about these things.stupid isnt it.but im going to fix it, because thats the only way i can get over ED.

so I was wondering if anyone could help.dont feel you have to. But does anyone know of any good websites/books/has a mealplan thats real basic that isnt about weight restoration? or can just give me any plain old advice on this one. cos my idea of cooking is pretty much limited to a toaster, yknow.and i dont want it to be like that.

or heck, if its not triggering to you-can you just tell me what kind of things you eat for lunch/dinner so i can fgure out some meal ideas.

I soent a lot of time with the home treatment team worker yesterday figuring out a day planner for me, to help me keep sme structure, and to lesson empty time when i fall into si behaviour.amd we planed in meals-which i am going to try my heart out to stick to.we decided a helpful thing to do would be for me to figure ot a list of things that i could have for each meal-so i dont have to spend time panivking about what i could have and getting in a tiz. so thats what im doing now. And i just wondered if anyone had any ideas i could use.

sorry, i know this is really random.But i think its something i really need to get sorted now.

A brilliant eating plan is http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/agesandstages/teens/weeklymenu/


This website is one of the things I looked at first, if you go to the homepage you can read all about nutrition, and what you need in a day which is great.

Generally a good structure for a lunch is a sandwich, yoghurt, apple (piece of fruit/veg whatever) a chocolate bar. If I get hungry I eat fruit and veg snacks.
Dinner, here are some things that my mum makes: Salmon parcels, lasagne with salad, spaghetti bolognse, a caserole, sausage and mash. I would really recommend the dawling kindersley children's cookbook. It has easy, but nutritional filling meals in simple steps. It's a great book. I hope this helps!!

I so know what you mean about the meal plans--my sister pretty much made mine up for me because I really couldn't do it. And even now I have no idea how to eat without some kind of plan. For lunch I usually have a sandwich with cheese and hummus and fruit and something on the side like a yogurt or boiled eggs. And for dinner I've been doing burritos--eggs, beans, cheese, veggies with a tortilla. I tend to eat the same things over and over but I feel like at least I'm eating something and it's appropriate :)

I will email you my mp also--its what I eat now to maintain and figuring that out was the hardest thing ever. I basically had two settings before this-gain and lose and I had no idea how to actually just eat.

And you're absolutely right about being full--it's horrible and it sucks and I think it's the worst feeling in the world. But it really doesn't kill you. ED does.
