Even one small step towards the right direction, is better than being stagnant in the same cycle that is hurting you. <3

Hey there~
So real talk. Life happened lol. Had some ups, a lot of downs, a lot of stressors have been going on for me, and generally speaking Iāve been trying to navigate them. I think generally it was very ambitious of me to take on so much for this blog all at once, so early in my own recovery.
To be honest, i fell āoff the wagonā a few times, but starting strong from any point is always okay <3
Right now i have a lot of obligations in my life, so Iām not sure how much time i can effectively put into this anymore, but i see that itās still helping people, which Iām glad for.
I think realistically i can maybe put out a few WIEIADās a week, or maybe just a WIEIAW at the end of the week, just picking and choosing things to showcase (i.e, new recipes, cool or delicious snacks etc). Iām honestly not sure.
What i do know, is i know this blog was helping me. Both with staying on track, and with implementing healthy habits, and lately my routine has been a mess :ā(
Anyway, i hope all is well, and youāre taking care of yourselves. Remember you deserve it <3
Have a great day/night,
Until next time~

Hey there! Ghoul here, welcome back to another day~ been awhile and itās good to see you! <3 lately Iāve been really focused on romanticizing my life, and just overall improving it. You know, just doing silly little things for my mental health lol. Also just trying to improve the quality of my health both physical and mental, and my life. It can definitely be hard to stay afloat when you have a lot going on, stress, mental health struggles, maybe not living in the best environment. These things can and will effect how you personally take care of yourself. Putting yourself first, will never be selfish, I know it can feel like caring for your needs after years of being told you should only focus on others to be a āgoodā person can be deeply embedded in you(speaking from experience). Though you will only start seeing personal results in yourself when you give yourself the space to heal too. This goes for anything, your relationship with food, yourself, self esteem, etc. you canāt start healing if youāre not in a place where you feel like you deserve it. I promise you do, so lets go on this journey, and heal. We deserve it <3
Letās get into the day~
Breakfast~
Yogurt bowl with fruit and granola, and a piece of pancake bake
Lunch~
Corn dog with a side salad and veggies with cottage cheese and mustard dip
Snack~
English muffin with cottage cheese, tomato, and balsamic drizzle. Side of a banana.
Dinner~
Half of a subway sandwich, side of chips, and a side salad
Drinks~
Strawberry milk tea x2
Water throughout the day
Strawberry lemonade water mix x2
So today was a bit of a draining day both emotionally and mentally, so it was a bit of a easy day in terms of the food I ate~ but easy doesnāt always have to mean āunhealthyā you just have to balance it~ something I think I lost sight of in terms of having this bling, is my goals. My goals are just to be healthy, not have food consume my every thought. Not having to āwork offā a meal with my work out the next day, not body checking myself every time I pass a mirror, just gradually improving my relationship with food. Which will in turn improve my health~ I hope these words help, and I hope you were kind to yourself today~ much luv <3
As always, good luck on your journey, and until next time~

-Update-
Hey there, Ghoul here! Long time no see~ I took a kinda long, very needed mental health break, and along the way I'm evaluating what I should do with these accounts :}
Since some things in my personal life have changed posting daily WIEIADās arenāt really going to be possible anymore, so I might post those maybe twice to three times a week. My goal is also to put out helpful content coming from a personal experience or research once a week, and also share with you guys one recipe that either I make personally, or I tried and what I thought about it~ those last two they might switch off depending how much time I have :>
This is all I really all I have to say right now, I just wanted to give a quick little update~
As always, good luck on your journey(you will always deserve it <3) and until next time~

Food isnāt just fuel, itās comfort as well.
I feel like this topic in itself is very controversial, many say, treating food as more than just fuel can cause unwanted effects. Leading to an unhealthy relationship with it. Honestly though I disagree. Food is tied to experiences, passed down through generations, shared experiences with loved ones. And sometimes a nostalgic experience that can bring you comfort to simpler times. To demonize and simplify food, when it can mean so many things to so many people, at times can perpetuate the negative thoughts around it. At least in my experience.
Thereās nothing wrong with you, if you want a little treat to possibly make you feel happy, thereās nothing wrong with you if youāre craving the comfort of a parentās signature dish. Youāre allowed to make peace with food, and even feel happy about it, and especially enjoy it. Staying away from things that arenāt satisfying to eat, in the long run wonāt help, itāll make things worse. Work with your cravings not against them, and just adapt them to be incorporated into a balanced diet.
The premise of no food rules, especially for people who are recovering, is very scary(speaking from experience). Though when you work on diminishing then guilt and shame that comes with just caring for your body, thereās so much freedom there. Not having to think and obsess about food all the time, not having to stress about what you āshouldā or āshouldnātā be eating. The freedom that comes with loving, and caring for yourself, is very freeing.
I hope this post finds you well, youāre not alone. Youāre strong <3
As always, choose recovery, good luck on your journey. Until next time~

Hey there, Ghoul here! Welcome back to another what I eat in a day. Iām back~ I took a couple extra days just to decompress, because I was having kinda shitty jet lag. BUT it was well worth it, because honestly, I wouldnāt have traded that trip for anything~ :>
Also just a little note, I know specifically on my tumblr I alluded to possible making a āwhat I eat in a weekā though, that didnāt really happen lol. When I got there, honestly I was just trying to be present in my time with my partner, and just enjoying my experiences with them. Though to make up for it, I do have a post idea. I should have it up hopefully this week, so stay tuned for that~
Anyways,, onto our regularly scheduled programming!
Breakfast~
Oatmeal and fruit, with a side of avocado toast
Snack~
Half a package of hot fries, carrot and hummus
Lunch~
BBQ tofu rice bowl with veggies
Snack~
Yogurt cup, and some bbq chips
Hummus platter with veggies, pita chips, and a cheese slice
Dinner~
Bread chunks, cooked ham, and egg scramble, with a side of peppers and cucumber
Drinks~
Protein coffee
Water throughout the day
So today was a bit of a confusing day. It was really hard to differentiate between mental hunger and body hunger. Which is okay, Iām just honestly trying to be patient with myself and just go with the motions and do the best I can to take care of my body and mind. And also instead of justifying my food intake, Iām just not. Itās what my body needed, and thatās okay. Not everyday is going to look the same, and when youāre healing your relationship with food sometimes just eating the food your bodyās will need will feel like youāre out of control. I promise, youāre not. If youāre getting hunger cues, I can guarantee theyāre for a reason. As always Iām not a professional, so I canāt give you professional advice, I can only share my experiences and the knowledge I have. I hope this helps, remember to honor and care for yourself~
As always, you deserve recovery, good luck on your journey, and until next time~

Hey there! Welcome back to another recipe :> This one is fairly simple and requires no cooking, and is pretty flexible with the ingredients. Itās kind of a throw shit in and go type of recipe, which in my opinion, is my favorite kind. Iām a sucker for something easy, delicious, and thatāll use up leftovers. For this youāll need leftover rice, or chilled, whatever you have on hand. Also, feel free to switch out the grain to what you have you have on hand >.<
-Ingredients-
Cold or old rice
(Veggies of your pick, hereās where it can get customizable)
Corn(canned or fresh)
Green onion
Tomato
Spinach
Green beans(canned or fresh)
-For the dressing-
Mayo
Greek yogurt
Lemon juice
Spices of choice
If you want some spice Iād add a hot sauce of your choosing
Garlic
-Directions-
In a big bowl, add your rice and veggies after previously chopping them(or draining if using canned)
In a separate bowl mix your dressing, and when well combined, mix well into the rice and veggies.
Let chill for about 30 minutes before serving, and enjoy!
This is great as a side, to pair with BBQ tofu, or any protein of your choice, nice on hot days, or like I said above just if youāre having a low motivation day. You deserve to eat, and most importantly you deserve the care youāve been denying yourself for so long <3
Numbers does not equal worth, youāre a person that deserves to be loved by others and by themselves~ Good luck on your journey! Until next time~

Things that helped my recovery, and things that definitely didnāt. Obviously recovery is a very personal experience, and things that work for others, may not work for you, and vice versa. Iām just sharing what works for me, so maybe people can either see a different perspective, relate, or find inspiration. General TW for this whole post it will touch on uncensored topics such as calorie counting apps, weight checking, and fear foods. If thatās a lot for you, Iād suggest you skip this post, but i wish you well in your recovery <3
Iām going to start off with the things that absolutely did not help, and if anything, sent me into a complete spiral. Why? Gotta start somewhere, and itās best always to end on a good note~
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā-
Weight checks- I feel like this is probably a no brainer, but these are probably the worst for me. Even if it was good news it was the eventual āwhen will i ruin it?ā Thought, which would giving up, and lead to a binge, and the whole cycle. Looking back, to avoid this, just shifting my perspective to not going to the all or nothing place honestly wouldāve helped a lot. Which is what Iām working on now thankfully :>
Free eating- as Iāve mentioned a lot, i donāt understand what a healthy portion looks like, i was never taught. So going into adulthood like that, really negatively impacted me because when i wanted to get healthy even when i tried i still had no idea what i was doing. Something has countered this, but itāll be in the next section.
Calorie counter apps- never helped me, theyāve always encouraged obsessive behavior, and also caused shame, especially if i had gone over a few calories. I can see the appeal, but for me- theyāve always done more harm than good.
Feeling like i canāt have certain foods because Iāll lose control- this in the long run as never helped, because then these foods feel forbidden, and when i finally allow myself them- Iāll eat them until Iām sick, but if I incorporate them into a healthy diet, Iāve noticed i actually crave them less. So Iām slowly regaining back my control. And so can you~
Those are the main ones for me. Letās end this on a good note, and move onto the positive :>
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā-
Portion plates- it might sound silly or restrictive, but the really do help me, especially if Iām feeling a craving to clean my plate, thereās only so much metaphorical ādamageā i can do. For me it works, for everyone, it definitely will not. You should always do what works for you and your body~
Adding in foods Iām craving in moderation, or making healthier dupes- so, just like it says, craving chips? Have a bit, just add something to it. Like some cucumber and hummus, or carrots and cottage cheese. Want cookies? Eat it with some Greek yogurt and fruit. (All suggestions not medical advice) you can have what youāre craving just add something with some bulk so it fills you up~ so youāre satisfying a craving, but also feeling satiated.
Combating limiting beliefs with positive self talk- instead of punishing myself for having a bad thought, or getting mad Iām not āfully healedā trying to practice patience, and self positivity and give myself that mental comfort to heal myself like i know Iām worthy of. Seeking outside validation can only help to a point, because if even you donāt believe it, itās not going to benefit you. Recovery is a journey healing not only your relationship with food, but your relationship with yourself. And you deserve to finally be healed~
Therapy or coaching sessions- again self explanatory, but super beneficial, especially when you feel hopeless and canāt do it alone. Sometimes even finding resources online, like quick videos on YouTube just to understand things more, or to gain insight or advice. For me personally, the more i understand something, the easier it is for me to tackle it. There are so many great food therapists on instagram especially that share such great advice, that i urge you just to watch a few reels. Help is attainable, i promise itās not impossible.
Thatās all i can really think of for this post, as always, good luck on your journey! Remember you are worth it <3 until next time~

Hey there, Ghoul here! Today is a vibe honestly for me, recently my thoughts around food have calmed down a bit, and itās very nice. I can admit, at times the urge to restrict and place rules are still there. Though I feel like overall, a lot of anxiety is diminishing. I do realize itās not always going to be like this, but for now, Iām enjoying it. <3 so, letās get into today.
Breakfast~
Egg and veg wrap with cream cheese, and a side of yogurt with berries, trail mix, and coconut flakes
Snack~
Some nibbles of granola and nuts, like not even a handful each lol,, just wanted a lil snack
Lunch~
Veggie rice and taquito bowl with sauces
Snack~
fruit and granola and coconut made like cereal in protein drink and some PB
Dinner~
Chipotle salad bowl with a side of chips and queso
(Was super proud of myself for not binging and listening to my body when i was done~)
Drinks~
Protein coffee
Water throughout the day
So another day down, as my night is coming to a close Iām just taking this time to chill out and just reflect on my day. Both the things I did well, and some of the things I could've improved on. In my opinion, self reflection is honestly so great for personal growth. Even celebrating your small wins, can help change your mindset on how you treat yourself.
As always, you deserve recovery, good luck on your journey, and until next time~
Also just to make it easier on myself, I didnāt do pictures today, but I still wanted to get a post up~

Checking in, and this coming up week <3
So this coming up week, specifically the 20th of May to the 1st of June Iāll be on vacation visiting my partner >.<
Super excited, also a bit nervous because they want to show me a bunch of food spots that we donāt have here in the US/ just ones theyād think Iād enjoy~ so I did have a post idea on how to navigate ED thoughts while with loved ones/ on vacation, and honestly Iām pretty sure Iām going to do that. Other than that, i have some scheduled posts, but other than that i wonāt be posting WIEIADās i will be posting some of what i ate in that week maybe? But thatās less planned honestly. Iāll honestly just be focusing on being with my partner~
Other than that, i just wanted to put this here, so if you see a lack of activity~ thatās why :>
As always, good luck on your journey, and until next time~

Hey there! Ghoul here, coming back to you with another what I eat in a dayyyy, so already started this day off supppper productively. So honestly Iām proud of myself for that. One of the things about addressing my all or nothing thinking just about tiny things is just, living in the moment, it can literally apply to anything. Since I personally struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder, I honestly had no idea how much my black or white thinking just impacted my daily life decisions, especially food. This is good or bad, this is too much or too little, this is healthy this is unhealthy. Everything has a balance, there is a grey area, you can take different foods and put them into a healthy balanced way to just nourish your body. Nothing is good or bad, itās always how itās used. Okay, after that, lets get into what I ate today~ >.<
Breakfast~
Toast with cream cheese, cucumber, with a egg on top, side of nuts and apple slices
Snack~
Veggie wrap(apple, bell pepper, cucumber, cream cheese) dipped in PB sauce (10/10)
Lunch~
Chicken rice salad bowl with veggies and potatoes
Snack~
A few apple slices, small handful of chips(after the pic was taken), and nuts
Dinner~
Chicken sandwich from Carlās Jr., cucumber, bell pepper, rice salad
Drinks~
Protein coffee
Water throughout the day
Pumpkin spice tea with protein shake as creamer
Half of a protein shake
So today ended a bit on the less productive side, I was kind of tired just from not getting the best sleep. Overall though, in my personal opinion for myself, today went pretty well. I donāt have much to say tonight other than, you deserve to take care of yourself, you deserve to be happy, and you deserve to heal <3
As always, good luck on your journey, and until next time~
