As a recovering anorexic, the holidays can be a challenge especially when its a holiday that revolves around food. I arrived at my aunts house at 2pm because that was the time she told everyone to arrive. Well we ended up eating at 5:30! Yikes! Im not one to really snack before a meal but I had maybe 1/4 oz of swiss cheese, 1 gluten free rice thin cracker, organic celery with salsa as well as a taste of my aunts spinach dip (big fear food). My cousin who's my age made Apple Cider Sangria with 2 or 3 different types of white wine, a full bottle of Brandy and Apple Cider. To be honest it was very tasty! I probably had about 3 full solo cups filled. Oooops!
For the main dinner, I had 1/4 of a sweet potato, a 1/2 cup of roasted root vegetables, a spoonful of gluten-free stuffing, some pearl onions, a spoonful of turn ups and 5 oz of organic turkey. I figured as Im recovering, I might as well as some poultry and fish in my diet because I need more protein. I will only eat organic poultry and fish but normally I would just stick with my vegetarian ways and lifestyle. For dessert (pretty shocking) my mom and I shared two small slices of pumpkin pie and a chocolate pudding pie. I mainly just ate the inside of the pumpkin pie and my mom had the rest along with the pudding pie. I did try it, it was just way too rich for me. Overall, I think it was a successful day for me and Im defiantly thankful for my health, getting healthier (I hate and Im scared of saying weight gain), and my family.
Also! I made my infamous pilgram hat cookies! Everyone goes nuts over them! I ended up only taking 2 home!
