A FULL Day Of Eating | ED Recovery | Honouring Hunger | Recovery Realities

[@sar12389]

I was so pleased for you by the end this video. As someone has been where you are and has come through it. Trust the process. Keep eating what you want, when you want it .... Your body will learn to trust you again and nothing bad will happen. Then in time ul find yourself just reaching for a snack or meal and not having those millions of thoughts around it constantly because your body is settled and content where it is and knows food isn't going to be without. Our bodies are amazing things if you think about all that they can do for us. Food is nourishing, I know you are especially one who is keen on healthy, nourishing foods so just think about how great all the food will be for your body. You do need to ensure you experience variety though. Your doing great, keep it up.

or a meal

[@meera_reddy]

hiiiii my love!!! AMAZING job with combatting those ED thoughts!!! my suggestion would be to switch up your lunch. you did say it was "very very nutrient dense", but i really think that's your ED talking. :( yes, the meal had a lot of protein and some good fats, but having just one teeny tiny slice of bread does not satisfy carb requirements, and your body NEEDS carbs, especially because you are still quite active (between cleaning and walking). i know you had that oat bar before (and that's awesome!) but that is separate from your lunch - just because you had extra carbs with a snack doesn't mean you can have less with the next meal (even if your brain is telling you that). i would try to do something you're less comfortable with for lunch, and having less veg as well. for example, if you're still a bit hungry, try having some extra cheese instead of having the rocket. or some extra yogurt. it'll be hard, but you can do it, i know it

[@meera_reddy]

i also just want to say though, amazing amazing job with listening to your body with snacking. you've done it before in other videos, but it really shined in this video today!!!

[@Demiproudman]

Heyyy thank you so much I love these suggestions, I think for one of my next videos I’m going to put some different lunch and dinner ideas in a jar and pick them out that are different options 🤍

[@Demiproudman]

@@meera_reddyThankyou so much it really means a lot 🫶🏻

[@erinsmeraldo9008]

would love an update about what's going on in your life as a whole, beyond the ED because you are so much more than this dreaded illness!! honoring your mental hunger in this video is so refreshing to see. you're doing this shit and as hard as it is, it's opening up your world so much more than you can even believe

[@Demiproudman]

Thankyou so much!! I will have to make a video and talk about that for sure :)) thank you I really needed to hear that!!! I appreciate your comments so sooo much 😊

[@lifeyogafunfoodandfitness]

demi, super proud of you here's a good idea that I do which may help you, to help you thinking about what your eating less, so t takes up less stress through the day. You could try writing down your lunches, dinners, (dont worry about breakfast and snacks as usually they are the same each day) and put them in a jar and pick them out randomly, when its lunch/dinner. I find it helps because it takes away some control and helps me not thinking about it so much. Saves me worrying. Might not work for you, just a suggestions x

[@Demiproudman]

Heyy! This is such a GOOD IDEA!! I absolutely love this I will have to try it out for one of my next videos to help me to switch things up abit, thank you so much for the suggestion it really means a lot x

[@thealiceftw]

I love seeing you reflecting on your recovery! I promise, you do not eat much. A normal breakfast here in Sweden is 2 toasts with toppings + a bowl of oats OR yoghurt with müsli/granola + a big glass of juice. I usually do 3% yoghurt or 10% greek yoghurt. To recover and gain weight we need A LOT of food and tbh my mum eats way more than what you shared and she doesn't need to recover from an ED haha. So no you have not eaten much at all

[@Demiproudman]

Thankyou so much honestly this is the reassurance I neeeeed 🫶🏻 It can be tasking when you don’t feel hungry but we gotta get it done 🙌🏼 sending you so much love on your journey!! Thankyou so much!! I use a benefit brow gel on my brows ☺️ Yesss Tabitha’s book is incredible it’s a must, I highly HIGHLY recommend it ❤️

[@maelannegerard666]

I cannot express how grateful I am to follow your journey, you help me so much ❤

[@HelenSophiaChesson]

Hi Demi, can I just say how absolutely amazing you are. Your videos are really helping me with my own recovery journey! I also love cacao powder on my oats xx

[@Demiproudman]

Heyy!! Thankyou so sooo much It makes me so happy knowing you find it helpful, sending you so much love on your journey! Its the best ive had it everyday now since the weekend hahaha :))) xx

[@luann4691]

Demi i am sooo proud! This was literally honestly the first Video from you, that genuinely made me happy and motivated me. I rlly like your videos but most of the time you do can tell that you still heavily restrict yourself. And THIS time, the talk about not wanting to be in that "better-but still comfortable for ed" state anymore, was really inspireing❤❤❤more power content plsss!! I believe in youu

[@Demiproudman]

Ahhh thank you so sooo much!! It’s been a long journey but I’m finally having some mindset shifts and taking back more and more control, I’m sorry if previous videos came across that way but I’m glad that this video was more positive ❤sending you so much love on your journey and thank you so much for the kind words! x

[@kirstie1790]

I can't bake, so there is absolutely no judgement here, but watching you try to do the sourdough was so funny. If they ever do a charity episode of the Great British Bake Off and invite KZbinrs to take part, I think you should go for it. It would be so entertaining. You're naturally so funny. I kept smiling and laughing. Especially when you said about the bowl!

[@Demiproudman]

Hahahaha thats such a good idea and would be so funny i hope it happens one day! Thankyou so much Im glad you enjoyed watching :)))

[@sophiepaul6303]

Hey Demi, its so nice to watch your progress! I know how hard it is - I feel like I've been stuck in this weird state of not getting worse but not getting any better either. Seeing you challenge those ed thoughts and make small steps to recover is really inspiring. Keep going - you've got this!! xx

[@Demiproudman]

Heyyy, thankyou so much 🤍 I’m so sorry your stuck in this stage too it’s extremely confusing and strange, we have to remember that we can only get ourselves out of this stage by taking action, you can do it I believe in you! Thankyou so much sending you all my best wishes on your journey 🤍x

[@sophiepaul6303]

@@Demiproudman thank you 💛

[@necrosis6486]

Interested in the chocolate mousse recipe !! :)

[@Demiproudman]

Its a must its so tasty and versatile :) Alls you need is - chocolate of your choice - milk of your choice & Greek yogurt (the higher the percentage the better) I used 2%. Method is: 1. Melt the chocolate and milk togeteher on the hob on a low heat until the chocolate has all melted. 2. Then pour the melted chocolate and milk on top of the Greek yogurt and mix it all together until well combined. 3. After pour it into a dish and refrigerate it for 4+ hours :)) (the measurement for one serving which i did is 45ml milk, 130g yogurt and 25g chocolate) but you can add to this if you want to make more 😆🌟 You can add whatever toppings you would like I used biscoff biscuits and raspberries it was a good combo! Hope you like it

[@kecrn4132]

One suggestion that I was often told… saying a “massive oat bowl” isn’t very helpful!! A couple reasons, one being that it isn’t true!!! And 2, putting those labels on the foods just blows them up in our mind! It’s just a normal we portion! On the smaller side, in all honesty!! I do agree with the other commenter about lunch!! That wee piece of sourdough was so little compared to what our bodies’ need! Just something to be aware of! Just curious if you got a meal plan from when you were in patient??

[@Demiproudman]

I apologise that my use of language came across unhelpful it was not intentional, I did have a meal plan but was never really thoroughly followed up on, I think I’m at a stage now where I don’t necessarily need a plan to follow but stick to 3 meals and 2/3 snacks

[@user-pc7nw8kh7d]

You are doing so well xxx

[@Demiproudman]

Thankyou so much 🤍🤍

[@lifeyogafunfoodandfitness]

also could you do a recovery q and a id love to know a bit more behind the scenes and your opinions (if your comfortable)

[@Demiproudman]

I would love to do that yesss, i will have to do a post for some questions from people and id be happy to answer any :))

[@lxl_xa9612]

As someone recovering I just wanted to say that I used to worry so much that I wasn’t hungry but I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep going. You have to eat past hunger in recovery as your appetite is so suppressed and I can genuinely say that when you are in a healthier place eating becomes so much easier- mentally and physically. Now I can eat 3 meals and 3 snacks without any discomfort even though I use to think I couldn’t stomach another bite by lunch. A few months of discomfort is so worth a lifetime of eating properly! 💕💕

[@Demiproudman]

Thankyou so soo much honestly I really needed to hear this 🩷 sending you so much love x

[@gracie1x]

them oat bars so nice! my fav one is the cocoa and orange. as always so proud of you demi ❤ keep fighting it will all be so worth it x

[@OriahMurdoch]

Demi! So super proud of you! Your videos are so helpful to me and I know recovery is hard but we’ve just got to push through! I can see you are trying so hard but you are still definitely bargaining with the ed. Also I did notice in the beginning with the shredded wheat, your milk looked really watery? Just a thought? Helpful criticism :) I’m also in recovery and I promise I’m not hating but it’s always good to give feedback xx

[@Demiproudman]

Thankyou so much I’m so glad that they are helpful 🤍 sending you so much love and best wishes on your own journey!! I use semi skimmed milk not really sure what else I could use 🤔 I appreciate your thoughts so so much!! Xx

[@carolking4124]

I'd say yes to the chocolate mousse recipe please Demi, love that colour jumper too. I get you with worrying about overeating, that happens to me, but just need to try anyway,x

[@Demiproudman]

It’s super easy to do and so nice, you just need 3 ingredients; chocolate of your choice, milk of your choice and Greek yogurt. Method is: melt the chocolate together with the milk (25g chocolate) (45ml milk) melt on the hob at low heat until combined. Then pour over the top of (130g Greek yogurt) mix it all together and let it cool in the fridge for 4+ hours 🤩🤩 you can make more or less but that’s the amount I used for my serving. Thankyou so much and so true, keep on going sending lots of love x

I can see you struggeling and fighting with the Ed thoughts but hell yes you are stronger ❤than

Thankyou so much, determined to beat it ❤️❤️

[@Akcayishvili]

Pesto sauce is my favorite very delicious !!

[@edjc]

i’ve only started making sourdough in the last few months so i’m far from an expert but i found the ‘simple sourdough bread recipe’ from The Pantry Mama is a really good place to start and worked well for me! with struggling to mix the dough, it helps to mix the water and starter together first, and then add the flour :)

[@Demiproudman]

Thankyou so much I will definitely have a look at this recipe and try again hahaha :)) thank you so much for this honestly it means a lot I will try that when I do it again!!

[@andrea.andrea]

hi just an idea - try challenging another more processed/sugary pe-breakfast cereal, cause all cereal is just cereal and no different from each other right, at least from a 'normal' person's point of view :)

[@Demiproudman]

Heyy, love the idea thankyou!! I will have to have a look at some other options :))

[@andrea.andrea]

@@Demiproudman nice, good luck! also as you often eat bread and a side salad in your meals, adding always both butter+toåpping (eg an avocado, jam, slice of cheese) and dressing+add-in (eg some cheese, seeds/other topping) to your salads are just easy ways that helps break those ed-habits that but are still hard and challenges the ed-voice. This is also an exciting way to diverse and try new foods, such as cheeses, dressings, olives/toppings are various of! Lastly, highly recommend Yeo valley's Raspberry-one - dream!! :))

[@ChloeSinclair-jt5kj]

I have really struggled for motivation in recovery and am stuck in quasi.😔

Sometimes yes but most of the time no because of lifestyle differences including work etc

What milk did you have in your coffee?

[@Demiproudman]

I use semi skimmed milk x

Do yiu count Coffee as a snack or is it on top of the 3cmeals and 3 snacks?

[@shadesofcool7980]

I was wondering, would you have 2 parts of breakfast if you wouldn’t go for a walk after part 1? I feel like the walking after breakfast part 1 is a compensation for having 2 breakfasts.

[@Demiproudman]

I have 2 breakfasts everyday no matter what I’m doing have been doing that for a long time now

Yep and there is nothing wrong with that and ever since I was admitted in hospital I was put on a meal plan and I still have to have a 2 part breakfast and everyone needs different amounts.
