If you measure each pie to be equal while cooking, each one will be 38 calories with 2.7g of protein + 1g of fiber! This recipe made me 25 mini pies.
My whole plate in these photos, with whipped cream included, was 110 calories with 5g of protein + 2g of fiber.
Ingredients:
427g of pumpkin puree (my can of pumpkin had two extra grams, you can be a couple of grams short if yours doesn’t.)
261g of 2% cottage cheese
245g of egg makers (or egg beaters)
103g of sucralose
12g of imitation vanilla extract
3g salt
2 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Take all of your ingredients and throw them in the blender, then blend until completely smooth. Pour the pie-mixture into lined muffin tins (you can grease them instead if you don’t have muffin liners, but that’ll add extra fat / calories) and bake for about 25 minutes (or until a toothpick can come out clean). Let the mini pies chill for a while in the fridge after they’re done, then enjoy!
Hi; so, I’m a 24F and as the title states - I’ve struggled with disordered eating in the past (I have a diagnosis of “atypical anorexia” alongside ARFID). Well, I’ve been in recovery for a while now and have been doing really well! The issue.. I’m currently at an obese class III BMI (40.8), as I sort of went from severe restriction to “bingeing” fairly often.. and I want desperately to change. I know that at my current weight I’m at a higher chance of developing severe health issues, and I want to minimize that risk as much as possible.
My main concern is.. how do I healthily start losing weight without falling into severe restrictive habits? That’s been my issue every time I’ve tried to lose weight the healthy way; my brain can see it as an “all or nothing” thing, and I end up falling back into my disordered habits again.
I’ve seen a therapist but she wasn’t much help; she just gave the basic advice of “Get help if you start feeling like your old self” (which is helpful? But doesn’t help with NOT getting to that point). I can’t see a dietician at the moment, as the dietician’s working at hospital in my area are not taking new patients as of right now (I will keep trying!)
I guess I’m just looking for advice from anyone that may have gone through something similar? I want to be healthier for myself, my husband and my children. I’m just worried about possible issues I may face on my road to that.
Thank you for reading if you did.
Looks like garbage, tastes surprisingly good

>!I have atypical anorexia and I’ve recently relapsed yet again. It’s hard for me to stay in recovery because unlike “regular” anorexics.. I actually am overweight / obese. Recovering feels impossible because of that. That feeling of being invalid affects me so much as well.. I’ve told people in my life I have anorexia and they thought I was joking, because no one would ever guess that by looking at me. I stayed in recovery for over a year after my second was born. But recently things have been hard. I’ve relapsed, but I’m thankfully not doing as horrible as I have before. What isn’t helping how I’m feeling though, is the fact that everyone around me is getting on WL drugs. My grandmother has been on one for months and has gotten so small you’d think she’s dying. She brags about how she got her doctor to prescribe it under the guise of needing it for her diabetes.. But she actually just wanted it to lose weight. My father is starting the same medicine soon. And I just feel so much worse about myself. I feel like the “fat” one in the family. Like I’m the ugly duckling. I keep finding myself tempted to try those meds myself. But I also know that, in the middle of a relapse, that would be a horrific idea and it would make me spiral further and further down a horrible destructive path. But god. I feel horrible. I look in the mirror and feel like I look like a pig.!<
Not really, but they make me feel a little bit happier. I’ve been trying to >!make sure I’m able to fit sweets into my day!< recently because things have been rough, and having sweets makes me feel a little bit of joy on crappy days.
God I love ice cream and Nutella.
I feel like no matter what makeup I wear, and no matter what “attractive” outfit I put on, I will always look horrible. “You can put lipstick on a pig to try and make it beautiful.. But it won’t work. You’re just putting lipstick on a pig. Lipstick isn’t going to make it not a pig.”
I haven’t drawn in a long time so forgive me for this art not being the best.
butterscotch flavored yogurt topped with offbrand cinnamon toast crunch, some homemade brownie, a cookies & cream wafer, a torn up swiss roll, and a big glob of offbrand nutella.
so yummy. life is good <3
I found these for $1 a bag, so I got a few.. But now I just have them in my kitchen staring at me. I have no clue what to use them for! Does anyone have any ideas?
I already ordered it last night and am waiting for it to come in. I just realized I should’ve posted here and asked about it first! Hopefully I didn’t just waste nearly $14 😅
I was diagnosed with atypical anorexia years back, and have gone through so many cycles of recovering then relapsing again. The hardest part of staying in recovery is the fact that I’m objectively >! a bigger person!< . My >! LW !< was still >! an overweight bmi !< , and I’m nowhere near it atp. I entered recovery again a couple of months ago after struggling, and have been doing okay until the last few days. I’ve been struggling again, and just feeling crappy.
Well.. today I went into a store, and while I was walking back out to my car the people parked next to me had the windows open. And they were laughing like crazy. I didn’t think they were laughing at me at first, but I realized they were when I heard them yell >! “She’s a big back!” !< and some other crappy stuff. They were very obviously >! high !< but damn that hurt. I got into my car and they were still laughing and saying different things. I know some random strangers opinions on my appearance don’t matter. I’m married, I’m a mother.. I’m loved. But it was just a reminder as to what I look like. What other people see me as.
And it brought me back to when I was younger. I was the girl in school that people would ask out as a joke. You’d think that’s just something you see in the movies, but nope. It happened to me multiple times. I was an >! overweight emo kid !< and got bullied for my appearance constantly. And I’ve only >! gained more weight !< since then. I don’t think about those experiences very often. I have better things to focus on than jerks from when I was in highschool. But today reminded me of that, and it’s just making me feel crappy.
Just.. ugh. I was already not having a great day, and now I feel even worse. Fml.
