Today has been another one of those "havent done much today" days... though i have very tired all day today. It wasnt until this evening when i finally started to feel like myself again, my energy kicking back in after several days of feeling low and not at all like myself. (due to CF medications). So hopefully back to my normal self and normal energy levels, i hate feeling this way and feeling like a wreck.
A positive about today was my lunch.... one of those "throw together lots of yummy things and eat everything in sight" type of lunch. Because i was super duper hungry. Too many hours had passed since my last meal.
So lunch was turkey pieces, salmon, potatoe salad, cottage cheese, halloumi and a whole load of salted cashewnuts (even more afterwards) and also 3 pieces of bread (they are actually super small) with spread. That kept me full for a long time and was the perfect lunch :) (Also note... nothing green! hahaha. There was a time when i could not eat lunch or dinner without salad, there HAD to be vegetables on my plate and preferably vegetables which take up 75% of the plate. Now i just eat veggies if i want them which is 90% of the time, but not always!)
Now trying to end this post in a good way, but the words and creativity have left me.
So instead, i am just going to end with:
I hope you have all had a lovely day, and you have a great week. Focus on your goals!!!
I feel so guilty if I don't eat anything green! :( lol
ReplyDeleteI used to feel the same way but there is nothing wrong with not eating vegetables to every meal. Its ok to eat a dinner or lunch without vegetables, as long as they are part of your diet and you eat a balanced diet (i.e meaning intake) then its ok to not eat them all the time. You need to work with your mental thoughts and work with that fear you have, because there will be times when you cant eat vegetables with your meals and there is no point in getting anxiety over that.
DeleteI dont want to sound mean or anything by saying this, but it is potato, not potatoE. Only the plural has the E- potatoEs. :) Pls dont get this the wrong way, I just want to help ^.^
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, hahaha... i always type so quickly and rarely remember to read back over the post before i press publish :) I will keep that in mind!!
DeleteEating loads of veggies fooled my family and friends for a long time. They were wondering how I could constantly loose weight even if I ate a lot. But basically I just ate water. It´s a good thing to keep in mind that there is no way to recover if you just fill yourself up with vegetables. It is okey to skip the salad once in a while. Especially when in anorexia or orthorexia recovery.
ReplyDeleteIzzy is not in recovery anymore
DeleteI have been recovered for almost 3 years now ;) And i wrote that bit to remind others who feel the way i used to feel with vegetables - that you couldnt eat a meal or lunch/dinner without veggies. But you can!
DeleteI know Izzy is not in recovery :) I meant this for all of her readers, just like she pointed out too. That it is okey to eat a meal without veggies.
DeleteExactly this Izzy! I have days when all I need to do is relax, watch TV, read etc, and that's okay because afterwards I feel so much better and like I am back to myself again! It's not good to keep going if you need time out! xxx
ReplyDeleteExactly, sometimes this is exactly what is needed!!
