And that was certainly not the case. Eventually, you will re-learn positive habits that will take the place of old ones. If you have a minute, you can read my story here – http://healthyalamode.com/2014/10/youre-not-skinny-enough-to-have-an-eating-disorder/ – but either way, I just wanted to share my deepest thanks for being authentic and vulnerable; and helping me to realize the freedom it could also bring to my life!

Do you feel pressure to only showcase certain foods, i.e. It is lovely to see how much time you have put into this post for the sake of those who are following your blog. I need to let go of my concern with NUMBERS and focus on a concern with happiness and health. Sometimes after I eat a meal, even if it’s filling and nutritious, I find myself walking over to the pantry and continuing to eat, whether I’m hungry or not.
It IS possible for me to find freedom from food obsessions.
I think its also fair to say that eatting disorders also include those people who are obese and use food as therapy. This is a very inspiring and encouraging post! How did you deal with the fear of gaining weight when you stopped restricting your diet? You are such an inspiration. I have always wondered about that. You are truly an inspiration for those of us struggling. I, too, have struggled with an eating disorder and in the last year have finally found myself firmly in recovery. Of course, I still try to be conscious of portion sizes, but I don’t obsess over it. “I used to say, ‘I’ll be happy when ________’ :D. I’m a recovered(ing?) It’s so thorough! I’m going to read this later tonight so I can devote my full attention to it, but your inspiring words are so great to hear.
Bookmarking this most definitely:) Such an inspiration– thank you for sharing your thoughts!
The part of this post that resonated with me the most was your comment about control being the last thing that you needed, and freedom being what you needed instead.
I love this post! Last week I decided I couldn’t do it anymore. :). One of the things I love about your blog (and there are many!) I work out about 6 days a week for an 1hr, I eat pretty clean and have been the thinnest I have ever been and know everyone thinks I have a problem.
Thanks for your post Ang. Beautiful post – wonderful answers to questions that so many of us have. This seems to help prevent mindless eating at night for me. In my last post, I opened the floor to you to ask some questions about body-image, weight, and eating topics that you wanted to explore. But back to this amazing compilation of questions…thank you for taking the time to address so many things.
I’ve been fighting the calorie count and negative thoughts and sometimes I win, most of the time I lose. I think reading “real-life” examples, such as yours, helps those on the road to recovery and helps us to connect.
I can’t express to you enough how helpful and uplifting this was to read.
After 20 years of restrictive eating I’ve finally decided to let it go.
I feel real alone in it. Still with ups and downs, but that's how life goes. Thanks for addressing my question about convenience food! Like fast food. I’m recovering from an ED, and you have helped me a lot!! After finally admitting to myself that I had taken it too far, I saw a cognitive behavioral therapist, which helped quite a bit in my recovery.
It’s a work in progress. This happens to me as well, especially in the Winter time when I am bored at night! Untertitel: „Über 100 vegane Rezepte, die den Körper zum Strahlen bringen“.
I’ll agree, but beat myself up over it the next day because I feel “fat”. Thank you :).
I know you have benefited many readers along the way.
The past few weeks have been a struggle for me. I can’t wait until I’m at the point you are at, Angela. Not every thing is for every person. I have been *loving* your blog, and a lot of my friends and I all talk about your amazing food and positive message (and how much it is needed, since the Internet can be a bitter place sometimes!). I am aware of it now and it is a constant process of trying to stop bad habits and thoughts, some days are better than others. Sometimes it takes a while to have everything click.
Thank you so much for your informative feedback! You are clearly such an inspiration for those who struggle in the same ways. I know it can’t be easy being so open and honest about your experiences, but just know that your insights and advice are helpful to a lot of people.
When is your book coming out? You are so inspiring. Love YOU! Last month I decided it was time to worry about becoming happy and not skeletal again and I too put my scales out of my bathroom and I am trying the “one treat a day” strategy as well because it’s far easier not to binge when you now that there is nothing you can’t do or rather don’t allow yourself to.
You’re inspiring because you are open, honest, and genuine. Thanks :), My eighteen months late reply to say along with everyone else that is a terrific post!
), so if you have trouble with this as I did, take heart.
Thank you so much for sharing so honestly! You’ve come a long way and are clearly an inspiration to a lot of people!
I was really interested by the last question about appetite and how to intuitively eat with that. I was sick of living my life the way I was and I felt like I was missing out on so many opportunities. “A Happy Weight doesn’t necessarily mean that you will instantly love the weight/size where your body is happiest. Thanks, as always, for being real, being receptive to readers’ questions, and blogging from your heart :), what a nice post.
Thank you for the personal stories you share and the wonderful, creative and truly delicious recipes you share. FYI, I gave you a “Sunshine Award” on my blog…http://positiveponderings.blogspot.com/2011/04/awarded.html.
I still have size healthy written on my jeans and it always makes me smile!
:) Have a fantastic day! If anything I would be unhappy and struggling to maintain my low weight like I used to. The binge-starve cycle has been my life for as long as I can remember and I am now 34 years old. Plus, I hate the notion that one is ‘cheating’ when eating certain foods. Others might self-sabotage because they are uncomfortable or insecure at their new weight and their self-esteem and emotions have not caught up with their weight loss. You’re so right. I’ve definitely tried to put thought into staying away from the pantry/fridge after meals, but for some reason, it’s really really difficult for me. I have never had an eating disorder, but I can say that I have been obsessed with exercise, eating and my body image.
My main source of misery is my inability to exercise….quite literally. (: <3.
I’m ready to be healthy and happy NOW. Love this post!
You ROCK! Vegan Salted Peanut Butter Crunch Torte + 10 Years! It’s extremely inspirational and I have a feeling I will be reading it often. I have difficulty with any and all of this.
Thank you so much for this post, I just read every word of it.
Avocado, oils, nuts/seeds, and nut butters used to be off limits for me. You clearly put some serious time into this post. Do it first thing in the morning and right before bed.
You truly are a blessing! I’m about 7 months into abandoning dieting. Thank you for yet another amazingly inspiring post.
Such an amazing post Angela.

I eat healthy at least 80% of the time, but my boyfriend likes to go out to eat at a restaurant about once a week or go out for some drinks.
I’m not ‘cheating’, but simply enjoying decadent food in moderation. I learned, albeit very slowly, that talking about my struggles and problems was actually very healing and cathartic for me. Sometimes when it comes to changing things in your life, it’s good to know which type of person you are. This question has been a popular one over the years, so I thought the long weekend would be a great excuse to brainstorm a list of camp- and […], What awesome weather we’ve had in Southern Ontario this week! Thank you.

I have dealt with a lot of the same issues, and it is nice to see that I am not the only one…but that it can be overcome! I had to make baby steps because it was extremely hard to stop and I found myself doing it automatically. I bet you felt so good to get that off your shoulders too! I especially love your thoughts on “Happy Weight”. I can relate to all of the questions you answered. I have heard the same thing and while I have never been on a schedule myself, I can see how it would be helpful for many, especially in the initial stages!
Your blog is where I come to when I feel lost. I usually plan meals in advance, and make sure they are balanced/healthy and eat when I notice my blood sugar levels appear to be low but I often worry I am eating too much then because its hard to sense when I am satisfied. :) I know it’s hard but it really helps the situation! I am working to stop this cycle and I really like your suggestion that you gave!
It is the getting up and starting again with a light heart that keeps you fighting the fight. Your kind words and story are truly inspiring and for this I would like to applaud you for everything you do! First, I want to thank you all so much for your support for Oh She Glows for Dinner! <3 It is extremely difficult on loved ones who have to watch the person go through it. How do I combat these urges? is that you radiate health and fitness. Thank you for being so brave to share with us. Oh She Glows For Dinner + Pre-order Bonus Bundle! I love to read your website as it is so positive and inspiring, especially on those days when I am in need of some inspiration. I have pretty much maintained the same weight for the last five years and I think my body is happy here, and I just need to accept that. on a side note, have you ever watched the dog whisperer?? While I have never had an “eating disorder,” I think we all fall into disordered eating and feeling some pressure at times… especially with bathing suit season coming up! Thank you so much for that great article!! Whenever there was something going wrong and I felt as though I wasn’t totally in control over the situation, I would turn to restricting my eating, which eventually resulted in very serious ankle injuries, hurting my dancing both physically as well as my drive for continuing to pursue my goals. SO, with that said, what I did, (once I had the ED mostly under control and was committed to the healing process) is I still ate at regular intervals, very small nutrition packed meals even though I wasn’t hungry.
I think it helps not to think of foods as ‘bad’ or ‘good’.
Angela,
I try to have large breakfasts and lunches and have my calories taper off throughout the day.
