Hi, Just thought I'd do a bit of an update. I was discharged from hospital a couple of months ago in June. I'm doing OK, my parents let me get a personal trainer so I can build muscle and tone my body which I know is still body focused but I know I'm never going to accept my body for how it is...

So this is something I don't admit to many people except my parents because it's quite embarrassing but I'm about to. For the last year or so, I've had a bad habit of pulling apart all my split ends and snapping off hair where there's a white 'bump'. It's not quite as bad now as I've been...

Rory17, I think you may have misunderstood, it's not my parents that's the problem now-they are really supportive of it now and pleased at my progress with a vegan diet. It's the staff at the impatient unit who are complete bum'oles (for lack of a better word lol). My parents are being really...

Queen of Strawberries, thank you SO much, that means a lot to me :blush:. Honestly that's warmed me up inside :heart:. My parents are OK with me being vegan at home now, they have been for a while. They know I'm doing it for ethical reasons. So when I'm at home I eat vegan (right now I'm eating...

I am vegetarian when I'm at the unit and I eat yoghurt and cows milk and stuff. I try and eat as much as I can so I don't need any meal replacement top up, but I don't eat quite 'enough'. But my consultant won't agree to take my tube out until I'm eating enough to not need any top ups. And I was...

Update: They found some chocolate flavour and that's vegetarian so they are giving me that instead :sweat:

TofuRobot, I eat all of those things at home, except smoothies (I've made a post about not liking smoothies), but at the unit, out of those things in your list, they only have: - Peanut butter (though it's crappy stuff full of sugar and palm oil and salt and chemicals) - Legumes (occasionally)...

By the way it wasn't a flapjack for breakfast, it was a snack. Breakfast was cereal with milk and two slices of toast with butter! I'm still on that plan now, even fully weight restored :sob:. I doubt they would even know what nutritional yeast is (and I don't like cheesy things anyway)...

Forest Nymph they don't take me seriously because I have an eating disorder and apparently that makes me a sneaky, lying, manipulative person. They don't let anyone who is recovering from an ED be vegan whilst they are there, whatever their beliefs. They didn't think I was serious about it...

Goodness knows. I'm sick of the place. I don't follow my meal plan exactly but I used to. I used to eat one large flapjack sometimes with chocolate or caramel on, and two Muller corner yoghurts a day. They want me to have a main pudding at lunch like ice cream or cake or cookies or tart...

Forest Nymph, alas, no. I am sectioned, so anything they want, they get their own way. I begged and begged to stay vegan and promised I could gain weight on a vegan diet but they were having none of it. It's all 'but all of our studies say you can't gain weight on a vegan diet and we are...

Well. It's nine months later and it's been the worst nine months of my entire life. I was readmitted. I was tubed. I was forced to eat none vegan food and what I didn't eat went down my tube. And it's still that way. I'm going to still be there for Christmas, albeit on overnight leave at home ...

I eat sugar, oil, and salt and I'm still standing! Mainly because I'm forced to because I'm a weight restored anorexic and I dont have much choice. But I've learnt that you don't have to restrict or eliminate anything! I eat whatever and I am eliiiyyve! As for the salt and water retention, I...

Hi all, So I'm really getting into all these new interesting vegan foods I hadn't tried before (like energy balls, chickpea scrambles, overnight oats etc.) but one thing I really can't get into is smoothies. At all. I really really want to like them, they look so amazing and delicious with all...

With utmost respect, why on Earth are you buying and eating a vegan replica of an animal product... if you don't want your food to smell or taste like an animal? It's obviously going to taste fishy if it's replicating fish. That's the point. If you don't want something that tastes like an...

The thing is though, most of these vegan websites (the ones I use anyway) are specifically against counting calories and eliminating things from their diet, so I'm not sure if they are eating mostly gluten free because they are just jumping on the bandwagon. So I don't know

Hi. So I like to get recipes off lots of different vegan blogs but I've noticed that almost all of them seem to use gluten free ingredients most of the time and boast loads of gluten free recipes, and put particular emphasis on them being gluten free... when they don't have a gluten allergy...

This is probably going to be more of a discussion than a question, and it's probably been asked thousands of times, but here we go... Does anyone else agree that most modern zoos are good? Obviously animals are better off in the wild (in most cases), but I think modern zoos are so much...

Oh my god, crazy, stressful, horrible weekend, unsure of whats even going to happen tomorrow. Literally don't know so I'll update tomorrow at some point!!

Lux, I wish it could be a project that me and my mum do together but there is no chance of her even going vegetarian, let alone vegan. No chance. No matter how much I tell her about animal welfare and global warming, she says I'm not going to make her change because she likes the taste of meat...
