Of course, I haven't read your newest post yet so maybe you have?<br />I love food, too, but in the past I have definitely tried to convince myself otherwise. It's so silly looking back at it...it only made me think of it more. <br />I love the quote on this post. So true.

I remember my first time...This is so cool hunni :)<br /><br />I remember my first time round with clinical ed and I didn't really like food, genuinely. I'd been bought up with a pretty bland diet so I didn't know the joys of food.<br /><br />This time round, its been completely different, I DO love food, I just struggle to eat it and struggle even more to decide WHAT to eat when I do allow myself to do so cause I like it so much!<br /><br />In fact, my counsellor figures out where my ed is at by whether or not there is ice cream and quelch fruit sticks in my freezer! LOL!<br /><br />Keep making strides forwards hun, you're doing so well :)<br /><br />xoxoTelstaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551330755337480779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-54566396728190250612009-05-28T09:09:19.494+01:002009-05-28T09:09:19.494+01:00I'm with ya girl.....I never hated food either!! I...I'm with ya girl.....I never hated food either!! I actually LOVED food and was proud of it until I grew into my restricting ways. I decided what was healthy and how much of it was too much etc, putting all these rules on everything. It's no way to live and food is meant to be enjoyed and indulged in! We only have one life, and it's meant to be enjoyed! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-63813105902621928382009-05-28T08:09:53.631+01:002009-05-28T08:09:53.631+01:00Thanks so much for your comment. :) Topping your m...Thanks so much for your comment. :) Topping your mini Clif bar with white chocolate peanut butter sounds madly decadent and delicious!!The Novice Berkerhttp://thenoviceberker.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-22723781571663022762009-05-28T07:55:28.195+01:002009-05-28T07:55:28.195+01:00SO happy to hear that you are in such a good mood ...SO happy to hear that you are in such a good mood today and even more happy to hear you talk about such amazing realities in your life.

I'm so glad that you have gotten past that point and into such a more optimistic and positive place.<br /><br />In regards to your "what if" worries...when I was having panic attacks about losing control and "catching" a mental illness after interning in the psych ward, I was always using "what if" statements. one thing that my mom told me that really stuck out is that you have to "what if" the positive to. "What if you DO recover and end up being happy?" "What if you get past this and aren't scared anymore?" etc, etc... you get the point.<br /><br />Anyway, happy and inspired to see that you're doing well!!ElleMigliorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585395538874726954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-57642264787987604312009-05-27T16:46:32.189+01:002009-05-27T16:46:32.189+01:00While I definitely relate to feeling like I'm ...While I definitely relate to feeling like I'm not "allowed" to say I am / be hungry, I'm not even sure anymore when I am or am not!! I do like food in an artistic way -- I like to cook it and make it look pretty! Eating it -- not so much. But you made me think when you said that it wasn't actually EATING that you disliked, but the feelings that followed the action. Good point.<br /><br />You can write your own dictionary! :)<br /><br />As for "natural" sleep remedies... melatonin and lavender never really worked for me... Benadryl / Klonopin sometimes does, but that's not very NATURAL! ;p Try a hot bath?<br /><br /><3 <3Cacti Don't Cryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220870673847180330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-22280268195424248332009-05-27T16:19:50.792+01:002009-05-27T16:19:50.792+01:00thanks for coming to my blog! and yea the trio bar...thanks for coming to my blog! and yea the trio bars are sooooo yummy. its basically nuts with some dried fruit. and your cliff bar looks very good.i might have to make that snackum.<br /><br />and sleep tactics: when i can not sleep i grab a glass of milk and one or two oreo cookies. haha i know weird but it always works...and i dont even like milk usallynicoleishappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664475791644498735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-64566009201767819472009-05-27T16:12:11.710+01:002009-05-27T16:12:11.710+01:00Munchables is a word in my book!

I have never been diagnosed with an eating disorder, but I went through a tough period in high school where I wanted to be stronger than my hunger and also felt it was a sign of weakness to admit to it and give in. What you wrote is very inspirational and true: we are human, and eating is a function of our being. Besides, it can also bring so much joy! Seeing as we have whole blogs about it! hahah<br /><br />And don't worry about feedback about the article.

I may as well have been taking a sugar pill.<br /><br />Melatonin, which I'm taking now, is wonderful, especially since I don't wake up with that hungover feeling you can get from Benadryl or Tylenol PM. Plus, it's super inexpensive (I paid $3 for 1 month). I get really wacked out dreams, but not nightmares - which is v. good.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Wrapped up in Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210700542140339831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-2044763689698989282009-05-27T14:59:10.755+01:002009-05-27T14:59:10.755+01:00I absolutely loved this post!

You like to eat." No way, I didn't admit it back then.
