Telling my story is exhausting, let’s take a break for:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Peanut butter jelly time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Actually, this is whole-wheat sprouted bread + cashew butter + blackberry jelly. How fun is that variety?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I really love routine, but I have a husband that reminds me about the importance of variety & switching things up. I'm so thankful for those subtle pushes outside of my norm. Just like my desire to never eat at the same restaurant, twice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Win-win for Team Stuart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Orthorexia is not something I planned. In 2009, I

Orthorexia is not something I planned. In 2009, I was told I had a rare case of mono. One that wouldn't heal with the normal treatment. But 6 months later, the symptoms were still there. All the while, besides the fatigue, I began having regurgitation of undigested food (THE SEXIEST), in the midst of my senior year of high school. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had an ND ask me to cut out gluten, soy, also dairy (an intolerance I knew I had). Note: this far, my symptoms were most rampant with corn & corn-syrup based foods. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a pediatrician believe I was allergic to fructose. My gastro did a delayed gastric emptying exam (with a gluten sanwich), tested my liver function, and then did an endoscopy to find that, "I probably had celiac, but the damage wasn't noticeable enough yet". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But going gluten-free didn't improve all of my symptoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More testing. My ND suggested a food elimination protocol because I seemed to be showing allergies/intolerances (I didn't know the difference at 18) to wheat, dairy, corn and beef. WHUT. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I headed into my first semester at SMU, halfway across the nation, with a shaker bottle in one hand and a boatload of supplements in the other. I had a laundry list of NO foods in the backpack and although I hated LaraBars & oatmeal, I knew those were two things I could eat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I lost 15lbs in 2 months. The unlimited meal plan at SMU was supposed to be a resource, but it wasn't. There were eggs, chicken, grapes, black bean burgers & salad. Everything else was outside of my list. They agreed that since "no one else on campus has these types of needs" I could email in when I was coming and they would create a meal for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Talk about social stress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think this is where it started. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was weird. I needed assistance. I was restricted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in the stress of it all, I was smaller than I had ever been. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My 19-year-old self, nutritionally depleted and inflamed, saw thin as the silver lining; I looked more like an SMU girl than I ever had. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Disordered eating & orthorexia can look so cute fr $Disordered eating & orthorexia can look so cute from the outside. ••• On the outside: little thing, doesn’t take up my space, and loves to run. Fits into anyone’s clothes with room to spare. Always down to hit the gym for a sweat date, serves healthy studying snacks. ••• On the inside? The ugly reality. “I can’t leave the gym until I’ve hit 500 calories, otherwise it’s not a workout.” “Chips aren’t worth it - ever.” “Yoga is too easy.” “I’m not free tonight” *at gym working off calories over eaten during study time* “I can’t eat there” *blames feelings of lack of control on food allergies when restaurants don’t serve salads. Rejoices in anything stevia based to make food choices as low calorie as possible. Only eats “healthy desserts” - random oat protein powder combos. Finds worth and joy in clothing sizes. Literal tears of joy at the size ZERO Banana pants for work (i look so professional. Translate- i look so thin.) Dates men who value “health” aka the shallow and fitness obsessed who would appreciate my emaciated “6 pack” Weighs in at the gym, in front of the mirror, daily. More pounds, more cardio. Runs because of the calorie burn, biggest bang for your buck says Jillian, refuses to do exercise for joy. •••😔 Writing this makes me cringe, only because I remember how REAL the stress of this was to me. “You are only as good as you look. Your future dietitian self must be small & fit & perfect.” “He won’t ever date you because you don’t weight 120.” ••• Now, 10 years removed, I’m so GRATEFUL for the work & the journey. To have walked through self-hate & to empathize with my patients. To help them seek the truth; the one I found for myself. ••• Disclaimer: disordered eating doesn’t have to cause weight loss, fractures & nutritional deficiencies. It may go completely unnoticed - especially in a culture that thrives on small befores & afters. But my journey is unique. I only wish to share it so that you can know it’s okay for me to be REAL & TRANSPARENT, it’s not all 🦋 and 🌈. I put in daily work, I pray hard. The struggle of accepting my body ALWAYS, is hard. But, Lord, I know my purpose here ❤️ #nationaleatingdisorderawarenessweek$
