I am a 20 year-old psych student from San Francisco. I have suffered from anorexia nervosa for over 4 years, so almost all my recipes are low fat, or things I've found and posted in order to get the nutrition info! Also included are several recipes given to me by my nutritionist, which are healthy and balanced and designed to be irresistable. I am a vegetarian, so the recipes I have posted involving meat are things I regularly prepare for my meat-eating family members.
Currently I am a sophomore at UC Santa Cruz, studying psychology. I hope to one day become a high school counselor, helping teens with issues I have experienced.
