HOW TO RECOVER FROM ANOREXIA - a great day of eating

- Now this really was a very great day of eating!
Tried some sourdough for breakfast with beans and scrambled egg (inspired by having sourdough when we went out for breakfast) (I impressed myself - GOURMET), followed by cornflakes (omg how did I forget how good they are) (of course I had a 2 part breakfast).
Mixing it up with a new snack combo - I have been CRAVING sweetcorn so much lately! And I realised that pitta bread is a great snack, and that all bread is just amazing, AND that tzatziki is liquid gold.
Then...
I HAD AN AMAZING LUNCH! PASTA AND PIZZA! FOR LUNCH (?!) YEAAAAH BABY! Tried a new pasta sauce (yum), put cheddar on my pasta (first time and deffo not the last) and pesto on pizza is super good wow.
Had some crisps and the best apple ever (pink lady, duh). Veggie stir fry for dinner, followed by... Chocolate trifle... but not just any chocolate trifle...
Then we tried some of the fruit trifle and couldn't stop eating it because it was so. very. good. I ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF I HATED FRUIT TRIFLE HAHA SILLY ELZANI!
And what a way to end the day - Biscoff porridge. Melty deliciousness. 10/10 presentation. 10/10 taste. 10/10 day of eating. 10/10 happiness.

I loved the way you really vocalized that you are hungry in this video, because you are allowed to BE hungry...... all the time!! This was a great day of eating Elzani! For the first time in a while i felt like you really didn't hold back! You really responded to your hunger. Amazing Job, keep it up!
Honestly your transformation mentally is amazing. Yes you still have a long way to go but you have already come a long way! SO proud. X
Watching this has made me so happy! When I was in recovery, I was eating eight full meals a day and crying through most of them and it was such a terrifying experience, like my hunger had taken control of me and was running wild and I couldn't keep up. But if you can keep riding that wave with your wonderful family around you, you are going to come out of the other side healthier and happier! xx
You can really tell how seriously you are taking your recovery now! This bodes very well!
You reduced a lot the time you talk to us about food before starting eating and honestly i can't feel more proud. I feel like you're my sister or something girl!
I'm really proud of you for vocalising when you're scared. You're showing that recovery isn't easy and yet you're smashing it! It's very hard to admit your fears over food, especially when you've kept them hidden for so long. Your transformation is inspiring x
I seriously don’t think you realise what an inspiration you are. I have started eating so many different fear foods because of your bravery. I ate a Mr Whippy ice cream today for the first time in 7 years! There are still many foods that you dive straight in and eat that I would love to try, but you have me running to the kitchen after watching your videos, and I’ve taken to repeating to myself “what feels the most scary “?
This is so incredibly inspiring Elzani keep up the good work x
YOU INSPIRED ME TO TURN MY LIFE AROUND AND FIGHT ANOREXIA LITERALLY THIS EVENING SO THANK YOU
Viola Jones omg congratulations!! i wish you the best! keep in mind that it might feel like hell for a while but u will feel amazing later! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how your mom is so supportive, I thought my wasn’t but yesterday I talked to my mom and I realized that she was really worry about me.
I love how you do the longer videos! it really shows us an insight into your life :) I love your channel and your character (like being so motivated to make progress for yourself)
Elzani, i’ve just finished watching and this was an AMAZING day of eating! we are all so proud of you. keep it up!! keep recording, keep posting, we’re all here behind you. going to sleep now. well done girl 👏👏👏🖤🇬🇧
awww Elzani, seeing you cry over the pasta nearly made me tear up! :( I just wanted to give you a big hug!! :(
Now these are proper recovery portions well done Elzani it's great watching you bloom
I’m literally so obsessed with your recovery and how well and happy you seem to be, your growth is amazing.!!!!
Shannon Hover - I hear you! I happened to watch Elzani’s first vlog in December 2017 and saw her as such an amazing, inspirational young woman and have supported her and her amazing family since!
You go Elzani! And thanks for showing the bits where you struggle a bit, I can really relate. Love your mom also ❤️
Your doing an amazing job Elzani, keep going as you are. It will pay off in the end, and don't be afraid to honor your hunger! Extreme hunger is very common in Ed recovery, I went through it but it passes eventually. You've got this! ❤️
Yes Elzani! Own that hunger! Rooting for you! 😀
Baaaabe!! You are absolutely on fire! Also your food choices are on point always 😎👍
This video show a big progress in your recovery! proud of you, previous you were so scary to eat more but now you are eating properly to heal your mind and body, inspire to do the same! thank you for sharing! :) wait for the next
I'm honestly so happy for you that you are trying your best and are recovering. Well done Elzani we are proud of you! And I'm also proud of you for voicing that you are hungry and when you are feeling scared/ felt scared about something. You should never be afraid of voicing your feelings or think it's embarrassing. The mean eating disorder voice and our own totally illogical anxieties try to tell us otherwise, but never stop fighting them. They will go away someday. We can do this!
i know it's already been said in the comments but seeing your mental state improve over time to the TRUE Elzani is incredible to watch. U GET YOUR LIFE BACK GIRL !!!
I just descovered your channel recently and i have been watching some of your videos,I just love that you keep pushing forward and that you also smile every time you are eating and saying you enjoy food now. My heart is so full from just seeing you be so brave and strong,i hope you keep up the good work!
hey :) I've been watching your videos from day one and I love them!! But I realized I don't actually know that much about you other than your ed- but I believe there must be so much more! :) Would you be willing to do a Q&A maybe? xxx
It's so hard watching you get upset because you're scared. It occurs to me that I would honestly rather just be fat than to be so afraid of gaining weight, and for my whole life to revolve around nothing but food... But then that's easy for me to say because I don't have an eating disorder. Elzani you are very brave to keep going despite how difficult it is. I pray that someday it will be as easy as breathing for you ❤ Overall this was a great day of eating!!
Fantastic!!! You are feeling hungry and feeding your body. Your body needs this wow so proud of you. It's OK to feel scared, Such a brave and beautiful young woman. Well done! xx
I love that you went and had a big pizza even after you got a bit upset about the cheesy pasta. You're doing amazing! 🧀🍝🍕👍
Hahaha I thought the pita was your lunch for some reason and was like....erm but that's...really not a lot...and then you just went out there and got an amazing italian lumch, I was so exited for you! so proud, i am happy to see you progressing!!
I love you and your mum so much omg, i saw your mum with satara the other day and I was so excited 😂😂😂 didn't say anything though like obviously I'm too shy
Way to go Elzani!!
I’m not even anorexic but I have struggled with bulimia on and off for years. When I don’t put enough focus on my meals I tend to get stronger urges to binge and purge. But watching you helps me to remember how important meals are in recovery. It’s something my dietician always used to tell me also. But sometimes it’s easy to forget. But watching you is just that little bit extra helpful so thank you! You really do make eating meals look fun and delicious :)
I couldn’t be prouder✨ You seem to light up and finally be more cheered up✨
I have never been so early omg. You seriously inspire me so much. Keep going girl💞
ItsMelda me either
Well done, lovely girl! Your willingness and determination will continue to serve you as you work through your Recovery!! You’ve grown so much... you’re becoming the woman you are meant to be:-)

Your anorexia says pasta isn’t lunch , but you conquered that so Charlotte(me) says I bet pasta would make a good snack ....
Absolutely LOVING all these videos!!!!!! We are being spoilt Elzani!!!!!!! 😍
So proud of you!! Youve come along way! And that pizza looked amaazzzzinnnggg!!!!😩😩😩♥️🌷♥️
Oh elzani you are such a cute girl!!! 😊I felt sooo sad 😭when you said you were scared of the cheddar and you looked so upset ugh I just wanted to hug you 😔❤️❤️ you are doing amazing and you have such a supportive mum and she’ll always help you and be there for you. Stay strong and go on!!!💘💘
I love the relationship that you have with your mom☺️❣️

Your doing so well Elzani!!💘you look and seem so much better and happier, it’s so nice to see xxx
so proud of you !! keep it up , love you !!
You did absolutely amazing today Elzani. Keep remembering that food is your medicine. the more the better! And you might start experiencing extreme hunger soon which you will be afraid to respond to; but please try to respond to it anyway:) Keep fighting that ED voice, love
It's great that your responding to your cravings! Your body knows what it needs, and maybe you could add some fat to your meals, for example butter on your bread or extra cheese etc. You're doing great, keep fighting ❤️❤️ ❤️
You did an amazing job today hunnie. Well done you. Keep it up xxx
Yay! First to like and comment. You are doing so great keep up the good work.
A simple cheese and basil pizza is so underrated. When it’s done well... it’s done well ✌️💙

honestly your smile makes me happy omg
Ohmygosh love love love your mom’s hair! Beautiful
Wow, you are doing so much better now, I am truly impressed with your lunch!!!! 💪🏻You are a champ!
Elzani you are doing Amazing! So very proud of you and happy for you ❤️. What a great day !
You’re so inspiring! I adore your personality!
I HAVE to eat pasta after watching this, if only so I can say “eat pasta to recover faster!”
Omg so so so proud!!! This is what you should be doing everyday xxx
THIS WAS AMAZING ELZANI !!!!
Omg well done for trying butter on that sour dough! I really love sour dough dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I just love your channel so much Elzani! Thank you for sharing your journey and your life with us! 🙂
Hi Elzani thank you so so much for doing these videos!!! I have been watching things like this for ages and you are the only person who has persuaded me it’s ok to honour my hunger and that I need to eat!!! Also, side note...Waitrose sourdough ain’t brilliant, try M&S smoked sourdough or Lidl sourdough...much nicer!!!xxx
Keep eating like this everyday! I believe you can do it and get better!!
So proud of you, love! Keep it up girlie❤ you deserve it
Love this!!!! I so wish 8 could do what you are doing!!! Itd really helpful that you kelt saying how hungry you are!
Breakfast- incredible breaky toasts, glad you did try sourdough bread...lol the egg. Yea, if you eat it with soup it gets a bit soggy/soft. Kind of tough but chewy. Yaaaas corn flakes with sugar! It is overrated. Looks tasty....cereal is amazing 🥣 with banana is good.
Snack1- feeling a bit corny huh? Lol j/k...I didn't think of that, how to pronounce the sauce. That's cool savory snack, I love when you say bad boi lol. I admire your honesty and uniqueness. Ooh buttery sourdough toast👍👍😎
Lol your Grammy lol cute. Ooh random grilled bread.
Lunch1- the sauce looks cool, I like the spiral of that pasta, it's cool. Yea!!! Keep challenging the fears, your incredible, proud you had the cheddar...I know it was hard..maybe you were thinking too much of it but it's totally okay lovely 🖤🖤🖤🦋 you got through it.
Lunch2- oooh pasta, inspiring!!!!!! Pesto, nice👍 lol the famous words in your videos are devine, M&S, bad boi....yea..do the panini!
Snack- I do love the picture too on the crisp, yes...listening to your hunger!!! That's amazing... I believe your probably having extreme hunger, it's a good "normal" thing that happens.
Alisha is sooo kind🖤 she got you cookies🍪 aaawww....
Dinner- lol noodley! Looks Devine....your mama cooks amazingly 👍👍👍😁
Dessert- Really!!!!!!!!! Yea...M&S lol, I'm surprised you gals did enjoy the other trifle more... because you prefer chocolate most times. Looks creamy, you eat the trifle cold?
Snacky- oooh surprised your just trying that combo...lol they are one of your fav's now. Looks incredible. Glad you say you love foods your allowing yourself to have now, it's inspiring and sooo real🖤🦋
I am sooo happy and excited for you...you have committed to recovery and allowed the real Elzani to breaky free🤗🕊️ you are worthy, lovable, inspiring, amazing, beautiful, honest, adorable, hilarious, creative, sweet, hard-working, and much much more...🌻🖤🦋👊😎💞
Deyanira Ramos Wow, why has no one liked this! So much effort, I really appreciate this comment!
@@graceamelia3760 aaww...thank you. I loved this. Idk...no one bothers to read a few a these comments. I really do mean it and she means a lot to me. Elzani is really inspiring and pushing through...she helps me feel so much hope. And the fact that you responded...made me feel even more better hahaha ☺️🖤💜 thank you.
Deyanira Ramos your so nice ❤️💖 it’s my pleasure. She is very inspiring and I love how you did this💗
I love the happiness top that you’re wearing in the video🌸💗🦋🌿👼🏻
And love the longer videos too aha thank you💜💜 Xx
Sour dough is awesome toasted. Definitely toast it. Much more delicious. Great vid. Xx
You really should try Fuji apples if you have them in your store. They are the perfect amount of sweet and tart, with a good crunch. You're doing so good!
Fuji apples are delicious, followed by pink lady! :) 🍎🍎
sweetcorn gang, you are awesome girl:)
One of the things that helped me the most in my recovery was having medication. It really helps with those meltdowns. Even if you think you want to recover naturally, its sometimes good to get some extra help
So proud 💜keep listening to your hunger and keep eating LOTS! Your porridge looks quite runny though Hun, I know I used to do this to try and get more volume for the calories, but it's so so much tastier when it's thick, and not like soup! You should definitely make a full bowl like you had but with thick oats😋😋
you look so alive and happy
YAY Elzani
Aww looks so yummy 😛😛well done Agian! 🎊🎊your the best and I’m so proud of how well ur doing a trying, I love watching u xx great video, keep going and I’m always here xxxx❤️❤️😊😊😛😛

You are absolutely glowing! Keep up this battle 💪❤
Brilliant portion sizes keep it up girl ! Xx very proud ❤️
Elzani- fresh bakery sourdough bread is sooooo yummy! It isn’t dry at all! And def needs to have the butter on it!!!
hi elzani could you insert a segment of how to fold a crisp triangle in one of your videos? it would really make disposing crisp packaging way easier since a triangle takes up less space :)
I decided to start recovering today and eat more im so scared but you are giving me the strength to do it
AAH, Elzani & your Gorgeous Mum,I wish I was part of your Family, I think the ♡♡ & Care of your Family may help me, Im terrified of food & 5st 10lb , my food options are getting stricter & stricter when the anorexia explodes in2 Bulimia & laxative abuse
So proud of you getting well & enjoying your food again xx
