cozy banana bread oatmeal to cheer me up on this gloomy monday?? mixed in a couple chunks of frozen banana while cooking and omg? ALSO try topping your oats with frozen banana, it’s a game changer! they get all caramelized and gooey on top of the hot oats and it’s simply amazing!! i’ve got a REALLY big announcement / change launching this week and i am so excited for it ;) can you guess what it is? HAPPY MONDAY FRANDZ? . banana flaxseed oats . -1/3c rolled oats -1 tablespoon flaxseed meal -1 cup liquid (i did oat milk) -1 scoop @nuzest smooth vanilla protein -1/2 frozen banana, in chunks . add oats, flax, and milk to a saucepan and bring to a rapid boil. add banana, turn heat down to low, and allow to simmer until thick. whisk in protein powder (and additional liquid, of necessary) and serve! i topped with more frozen banana & creamy peanut butter?

have you ever shared something vulnerable about yourself, only to be disregarded because the other person has bigger problems? in a society where it’s almost become the norm to complain about everything you don’t have, i’m sure we can all relate to the feeling of dismissal. . to be honest, i didn’t know about the term ’validation’ until i started treatment at carolina house almost 3 years ago now. since then, i’ve been able to recognize it and become especially aware of how it has contributed to not only my eating disorder, but several of the underlying feelings such as ‘never being good enough’. . invalidation comes in all shapes & sizes. sometimes, invalidation can be so simple and nuanced that you’re barely even notice you’re invalidating. i’m sure you’ve told someone ‘to not make a big deal’ out of something that was clearly upsetting to them. often we feel the most invalidated by the people were close to, and when they’re trying to help at that! . but invalidation can take different forms as well. i’m sure we’ve all heard the ‘you can’t have an eating disorder, you’re not underweight.’ or because ‘you’re a male’. or really anything that’s not the *stereotypical* female skeleton that looks in the mirror and sees herself as *fat*. . everyone has their own struggles, their own victories, their own ways in which they seek validation. let’s show understanding for that and not discriminate based on the molds society has tried to make us fit into, shall we?

it’s okay to not be okay — this is coming from me; someone who tries to stay positive, see the best in people, and be generous. but i’m also someone who’s hyper-sensitive and has so much empathy for others that it becomes my own load sometimes. simply put, that’s too much for one person to carry. . last night i broke. i had my first panic attack in as long as i can remember—and the only thing i can say if you asked where it came from, is ‘everything’. kiki passing away 2 weeks ago. not enough sleep. events such as a company that doesn’t keep to their word and a fellow food blogger only willing to speak to me in exchange for money. my exams coming up, and my mom telling me i should stop complaining and be f*ckin grateful that i don’t have to go to school everyday. . that last comment was the drop that overflowed my mental bucket. it made me so angry...there’s not a DAY that doesn’t go by and i don’t think about all the things i’m grateful for. in fact, gratitude is something so existentialistic that it makes my head spin into a whirlwind of unbearable thoughts. it makes me realize that there’s so many people on this earth, each with their own story and their own thoughts. their own struggles. their own victories. it makes me realize that nothing really is fair—that some people can afford $10 loaves of bread and others have to work their a$$ off everyday to even just get a bite to eat. it touches on one of my deepest wishes for the world, a wish so far away and impossible it frustrates me: that everyone could trust each other and act out of love instead of fear (something i can now distinguish thanks to @the_bananadiaries)✨ . the hardest part of it all is that i was feeling ALL these mixed emotions at once. emotions i haven’t felt in years, because my body was so starved it couldn’t feel. it made me afraid; whereas in the past i could crawl outside myself because i basically was nothing anymore, i now felt trapped in my new, larger yet finally healthy body. . it was one of the hardest nights in a while, last night. but it also taught me that i have come so far and deserve a break. so here’s to sleeping in till 10:30 on a monday morning and feeling it all ?

smilin’ cuz we’re halfway through the week and 3/4 of the way through exams! ? also because i have a giant @ilovesla salad in front of me, so smiles are basically inevitable. what can i say, i just love veggies?‍♀️?? . you’re probably wondering why i’m talking about exams and my love for veggies in the same post, because they’re not connected??? and don’t worry, because you’re right! they’re not. but they used to be. in fact, EVERYTHING in my life used to be connected to food. . up until last week. while i was writing my daily gratitudes, i noticed one of them was ‘not thinking about food all the time’. for most, this is something taken for granted, assuming a healthy relationship to food and body and thus do not *need* to be obsessed about food. . yet for someone who has had an obsession for dieting and their body since the age of 11, ‘not thinking about food’ is a pretty fricking HUGE milestone. and what does that have to do with exam week? everything. since making those last steps in recovery to honor ALL hunger (mental and physical) and learn to tune into my body more, i have gained so much head space. space that used to be taken up by the thought of food 97% of the time has been replaced by brain space that is OPEN—open to learning new things, becoming inspired, and remembering more than just what i ate that day. . and all that is coming from someone who was told ‘they would never get better’ at the age of 15. and i know so many other people are told the same. so hear me right now: YOU CAN ALWAYS GET BETTER. no matter how complex, crazy, or absurd people say your illness is. there’s ALWAYS HOPE?✨
