I'm tired and not feeling well at all. I'm bloated and my hair looks like I've tried to cut it with a lawnmower. I'm feeling shit.
My first class today was history. And I just zoned out. I actually thought I'd fall asleep. I now have a 2 hour break until my next class. But I'm gonna head home and eat lunch there. Drink a few cups of coffee and try to convince my mum to let me stay home...... :/ Usch.
-breakfast - yoghurt with mango, banana and apple (& 2 of my homemade scones!!)
Is it really true that you had scones aswell? I just want to know that it's ok to eat that amount of food for breakfast..
ReplyDeleteOf course I did!! They aren't in the picture because I ate th like 20 minutes after eating the fruit salad & yoghurt. Which really isn't enough. I hate eating yoghurt for breakfast because it never fills me up. I usually have oatmeal with a handful of nuts and raisins. A banana and milk. And somedaya I would have a slice of bread avocado aswell.
DeleteA normal breakfast (what is considered a normal breakfast) s usually yoghurt yoghurt with a fruit and cereal. A sandwich and something to drink.
And looking at the comment below, one of the wonderful things when you recover is that you can choose what to eat.my meals are based on how hungry I am and what I am craving!! I don't think about calories. I don't try to eat 'little' I eat as much as my body needs!! And that is the most important. I mean on the days I might have a little breakfast because I'm not hungry, I almost certainly eat a huge lunch!!! Etc
To the anon above me,
ReplyDeleteOf course it's ok! One of the best things about recovery is being able to eat what YOU want and not what has least calories etc!
I think this is a perfect breakfast example and is pretty similar to what I would eat at breakfast. Of course sometimes I might not feel so hungry or be hungry for more but that is normal and you should listen to your body!
Breakfast is so important as it sets you up for the day so make sure you have something good and balanced!
For example, If you were only to eat the fruit and yoghurt you wouldn't be getting much fibre which helps keep you going throughout the day- carbs are also important at breakfast to give you energy, so try not to be scared of them :)
A typical breakfast for me would be cereal and yoghurt or oatmeal (topped with fruit and/or nuts) and a few slices of Wholemeal toast (with jam or butter etc) or scone/pancake/croissant etc with some juice and coffee!
Some days I might be in a hurry and have to grab a few granola bars or a yoghurt pot and a banana or some days I might be really hungry and make a huge omelette and throw in everything I can find haha. Oh and I love French toast!
Someday I might just have oatmeal or just cereal and yoghurt (rarely though). If I'm staying at a hotel or going out for breakfast I love to explore a breakfast buffet and really go all out!
Or if I'm at my parents one weekend and sleep late, my dad will make me a full English (eggs,bacon, you name it!).
It might seem scary not but just trust yourself.
All meals and snacks are important and it is best if you listen to your body, it knows what you need!
I wish you all the best x
