Well, I struggled with an eating disorder (surprise, I know). IF you really take the time to read this, I owe you big time.
My story:
I was always pretty happy until severe family issues tore me apart. I found my happines in binge eating on junk foods. I got into puberty early (age 10) and had skinny curves that all the other girls didn't. The binge eating of course made me gain weight, and we all know what happens next..
Comments, hate, bullying from people around me. I always looked in the mirror and though I was fairly skinny, and I was. (12 years 164 cm, 48kg). That was until I stopped exercising and gained a lot of weight. I went from 48 to 56 in less than 6 months. I weighed myself and was devastated. I cried, slit my wrists and felt so disgusting. I decided that I was going to lose it and counted calories (1500kcal a day).
I was already interested in a vegetarian diet (which I ate in school and breakfast) because I thought it made no sense to hurt animals when you don't need to. I didn't lose so much weight and then summer came.
The binge eating came back, and this time worse. I fell off the vegetarian diet because my parents send me to my relatives. I went home and felt huge, for a good reason. I weighed myself, and I was 58kg. Horrible. I tried everything.
I didn't lose enough, it didn't go fast enough. That's when anorexia came around the corner. First I ate 0-200 kcal a day, then 700-900 a day. I thought 700 was healthy.. Trough out this whole time I was actually vegan, and Freelee inspired me so much to quit my nonsense. My parents were gone most of the time, and I were at home with my 4 younger siblings and the baby sitter.
She's russian and everytime she cooked, she'd walk away, and I'd take that to advantage. Everything hurt, but I couldn't cry. My weight dropped to it's lowest at 52kg after three months of restriciton- binging. My parents commented on my weight loss, but I shrugged it off.
Anyway, I decided that eating 1200 kcal would be okay, and some days more. I gained everything I lost back. Trough out January I ate mostly vegan until my stepmother went crazy and accused me of an eating disorder. I had my birthday in February (14 years) and showed my dad cowspiracy. I asked to go vegan, he was positive, supporting and said he'll try vegan, and that he would be 100% vegan by next year.
I went vegan for 2 weeks, (didn't tell my stepmom) and when she found out she was FURIOUS! She's that typical: But protein, Hypocrite, I'm an animal friend carnivore type. She thoguht once again that this was an eating didorder even though I showed her how much I ate, it didn't matter. Oh we fought, I cried, I wanted to die. I didn't want to cause anyone any pain, including my step mother. I finally talked to my parents about my eating disorder and they told me to eat meat and they reconsider veganism.
I quite disgusted ate meat (only at dinner) in hopes of becoming vegan. More fights with my step-mother'about veganism, and I said that she can't shove it down my throat. I hated to be disrespectful, but I wanted to show her that I was serious. Finally, she gives in. But only 50%. She does'nt serve me meat but can sometimes give me dairy (EWW) or an occasional egg.
So what do I eat? I eat mostly fruits with almond milk for breakfast and then whatever they serve me in school (In Sweden we have a system where you can write on a paper for allergies, veganism and the school serve you that, free!). Usually it's really tasty, and organic. And then a lot of leafy greens for snacks. It's worth to mention that I use cronometer.com to track my intake, and everything looks pretty good.
I am now trying to follow the 80/10/10 as much as I can because I still want to lose fat (I don't weigh myself anymore)
-Thanks for everything
