Slept in again today... and when I woke up, I wasn't really in the mood for breakfast, so I only had a bit...
Breakfast:
I had 2 slices of Food For Life's cinnamon raisin ezekiel toast topped with peanut butter & peach preserves. I had some strawberries and an Apple & Eve organic grape juice box alongside. (I didn't finish all the toast or strawberries.)
Lunch:
I had a repeat of yesterday's lunch... a Van's veggie, egg, & cheese pocket sandwich with a Mott's peach medley apple sauce.
Peanut's nap... it looks like he belongs in a nursery! :)
Snack:
I made my almond parfait with a new greek yogurt that I haven't tried before... Brown Cow's plain greek yogurt. I added in a tiny bit of vanilla extract, some agave nectar and maple syrup to sweeten it, and topped it with sliced almonds and chocolate chips!
I thought that Brown Cow Greek Yogurt tasted a lot like Oikos Greek Yogurt. Both were pretty good, although a bit sour for my taste.
Dinner:
I had an Amy's Country Cheddar Bowl for dinner. I also had an orange later (not pictured).
Dessert:
I had some of a piece of vegan chocolate cake that I got from Whole Foods.
I haven't been that hungry today... I'm really trying to follow my body's cues now, and I seem to have no desire to overeat or under eat anymore. This is a really big step for me, because for the first time in years, I finally feel free of my eating disorder. It's just something that I feel like I'm ready to move past now. I never thought that this day would come either and I'm terrified of a relapse, but I can only worry about today, and today I can honestly say that I'm okay. So for those of you still struggling, please know that recovery is possible and it's possible to get in a good place when it comes to food again! xo

Hey Marina, since I noticed you ate "some of mom's breaded eggplant" (your blog a few days ago) I keep forgetting that I have a great recommendation for you, to add to your line of frozen single portion foods. The brand is Michael Angelo's, in two words like that, the frozen eggplant parmesan. The first time I tried it, it was so good out of the oven, I wasn't even tempted to add extra grated parmesan or pepper flakes or anything. It has far fewer "mystery ingredients" than you find in the Smart Ones line and other frozen food brands. It's delicious by any standard.
love me some ezekiel toast in the morning :)
Bliss Doubt ~ Thanks so much for the rec! I will definitely look into it!
Your parfait looks amaaazing :) I love how you mixed lots of yummy things in it too.
You are doing amazing girly! I guess our bodies just act funny from day to day... but ya know what? Tomorrow is a brand new day! :) <3
I am so proud of you Marina! There's so much of life to enjoy, and you deserve to live it to the fullest.
