WHAT I EAT IN A DAY - A SUMMER PICNIC + BATTERED CHIPS?! Anorexia Recovery

WE LOVE PICNICS!
It was amazing to actually join in properly on a picnic this year, and have such a fun time by the river!
Just chilling out and having fun, then coming home and having battered chips for dinner is so normal but such an achievement for me as well.
Things like this make recovery so worth it, and reminds you why you should always keep going.

[@amyhunt96]

I know it takes time but why is she still not putting weight on? Still an inspiration, I am so happy to see you being successful on your recovery!

[@s.recovery1784]

Amy Hunt If u look at when she just started you can see great changes, in her mood, face, personality, attitude, and etc. don’t forget that a lot of weight goes to her organs, hair and etc to help her recover. It’s not all about her weight she needs to restore what was damaged before gaining weight. That is why she hasn’t changed for a while but recently she has been starting to look a lot more healthy and she gained another 10-15kg she would look beautiful! (And btw who knows what is going on behind the scenes, maybe she is struggling some days and doesn’t want to talk about it. Or she is afraid to gain weight and restricts a little.)

[@maggiefraser2551]

It took me 5 months in intensive inpatient ED treatment on 4000 calories a day to gain to my low end BMI. It takes a long long long time.

[@kategilbert3696]

I love your videos so much! No matter how I’m feeling you and your family never fail to make me smile 😄 I’m so glad your enjoying the summer because you deserve to be happy after so many years of being so sad 🥰 Do you think you could do another snack chat video again In the future because your so motivational and they helped me a lot!? xxx

I don’t even know why, but eating with a teaspoon is my habit since I was a little child. Even when I was going through my ED I didn’t care about the size of cutlery I was eating with, but I have always been using the teaspoon to enjoy some of delicious stuff for a longer time;)

[@elisedesavorninlohman1722]

Love you and you really do sparkle in this video but... the rest was half finished when you started on your panini. Maybe the next step is to start really normalizing your eating? Megsy recovery has some amazing videos on how and why she’s doing it!

[@elisedesavorninlohman1722]

Tee KayBee Agreed! She’s definitely the most relateable and “realest” recovery vlogger out there. She’s helped me so much in my own recovery. Her whole approach to the process is amazing! I COULD be skinny and live my life obsessed with food and calories, but is that really the life that I want to live? Because that does not really sound like living to me... I’m done missing out on everything!

Last time I went to Krispies I didn't get the battered chips because I was scared so I'll try them next time!!

[@tangerinecoral1822]

I am really not trying to be unkind but I have thought this for a while. I think Blaze may be overweight, which can be really damaging for their joints and can increase their risk for arthritis and hip issues. I'm sorry if this comes across as super judgemental - I know how hard it is not to give in to their puppy eyes - but I just think putting it out there is better than not saying anything.
