What I Eat on a Summer a Day (Anorexia Recovery)

Today I’m taking you on a day in the life. I’ll be talking about

1. Portion sizes
2. Potential alternatives to the foods I eat

Of course, every one is different and everyone is in a unique situation. You might need more/less/different foods than me! Remember to listen to your doctor or your meal plan or your intuition – whichever you follow currently – and I hope the food diary video will at least give you some inspiration!
