Only 3 days of work this week!!!

Eeeee! I'm so excited - my younger sister is turning 21 on Thursday so I'm only working 3 days at my internship this week! Yay!

We are going to have so much fun celebrating so I'm super pumped. Of course ED is freaking out a little bit because we are having cake on Thursday night - part of me doesn't want to have any but another part of me knows that one little piece of cake isn't going to make me instantly gain 10 lbs. Ughhh...any advice??

So, since this blog is new, I thought I'd introduce you guys to some of the important people in my life who I'll probably talk about frequently. First, there are my parents. I'm incredibly close to them and they're really like my best friends. I couldn't have asked for a better mom and dad. My twin sister, Caroline, is my best friend in the entire world and we spend tonssss of time together! She never dealt with an ED but is so supportive and always helps bring me back to reality when ED is really strong. My younger sister, Colleen, is super smart and fun and Caroline and I love her to pieces. She's so excited about turning 21! So, that's my family. We are all very close and spend a lot of time doing stuff together, which is great. Apart from my family, I'll probably mention a certain guy pretty frequently. Let's call him "J." J. was my boyfriend for about 6 yrs (crazy, I know!) and we just broke up a few months ago. We are still reallyyyy good friends and he is also very close to my family. He lives in another state and is flying down to spend Colleen's birthday weekend with us so I will let you know how that goes. It's been a bit tense lately because he's "moved on" from our relationship rather quickly and has already been with another girl (TMI? - sorry if it is!). I will let you all know how that goes when he gets here on Thursday, though.

As far as eats go, breakfast today was the typical muffin and berries. I also had a large iced coffee with a packet of chocolate "Amazing Grass." YUMMY!


Oh, and I will post the muffin recipe when I get home tonight! See you pretty girls later!

Erin, Meet the Sun.



Hello blogland!! I am so excited to finally get some sun today by the pool! I know what you're thinking - how does someone who lives in FL manage not to get sun?? lol The problem is, I work 5 days/week at my law internship and spend most weekends with my family (my dad has skin cancer and can't get much sun). But I am getting frighteningly pasty and have made the executive decision to spend some time by the pool today. ED is freaking out a bit because I'm going to be in my bathing suit but I know that it's HEALTHY to get a little sun every now and then so he can just deal with it.

I know I didn't post my breakfast yesterday and it's usually the same thing everyday: a muffin and fruit! My mom created the most AMAZING muffin recipe and I eat those basically everyday. They're super healthy (no white flour, no white sugar) and are packed with flaxseed and oatmeal. YUM! I can post the recipe if anyone wants it!

See you all later!

First Post!

Hi Everyone out there in blogland! I've been a major lurker forEVER and have finally decided to take the plunge and start my very own blog! Please add me to your blogroll and stop by to check out future posts!

Here's a mini biography to get you all started:

My name is Erin and I'm 23 year-old law student! I am also quite the foodie and am currently in recovery from ED.  I love going out to eat with my family (even though ED has some issues with it!), cooking, hanging with my twin (yes, we are identical!), and spending time with my family and friends!  I hope that this blog will help me stay on-track with my weight maintenance and be a fun, creative outlet! Everyone seems so great in the blogging community and I hope to become a part of that!

I'm going to do an "About Me" post tomorrow, as well as an update of my eats for the day and anything else exciting I can think of!

See you all tomorrow!
