šŸ““ Daily Journal: Intermittent Fasting (16:8), ED Recovery and Weight Loss

Making me emosh here :sob:

Huge congratulations. Amazing journey to follow and I hope you keep it up!

Edit: Nahhhh hang on can’t let this slide I’m afraid.

Can’t express my disappointment and disillusion enough that you’ve been asked to terminate the log.

Not only is it harmless and insightful, it’s an epitome of empathy and the need to understand the struggles of others. The log is a highlight of this community and reminds me daily what can be done with persistence, patience and ambition.

Further to this, I can’t be alone in thinking this entire journey is a ray of sunshine in the dark world of mental health and eating disorders, allowing other affected lurkers to sit back and silently see what can be achieved over time with enough willpower and determination.

This is a sad day for such an incredible community and the decision, whoever made it, is one that’s cast a dark shadow over the brand and the meaning of this forum.

Well this is the end of the best documented Huel Journey out there.

It feels like when you watching your favourite series and they bring it to an end abruptly.

Best of luck on your next year! and the year after…

Nothing more I can add that hasn’t already been said, except to wish you well on your continuing Huel journey and to thank you for sharing your first year with us. Massive kudos for all you have achieved :sunglasses::+1::tada:

It’s been amazing to read and follow the entire log, despite starting Huel only in January this year myself :rofl:
Even though I’m trying to gain rather than lose weight, it’s been greatly inspiring to me, grateful for your journey :wink:
Don’t what to say, other than thanks and I’ll miss reading your updates on your log.

@Tim_Huel an idea to make a RSS feed or something similar of this log and publish it as one of the success stories on the Huel site?
If that’s okay with @jeffy89 of course.

Hope to still see you around on here every so often and wish you the best of luck with everything :grin:

Did you not read the bit where she’s been told to stop posting? :frowning:

Asked to stop the log, could still be a success story on the site and doesn’t mean disappearing on the forum entirely.
At least, that’s what I make of it. :sweat_smile:

I think it was more cease and desist than ā€œThanks for your contributionā€!

What happens if you don’t stop posting, or you start a new thread up.

@Jeffy89 didn’t actually say who has asked her to stop writing… everyone is jumping to a lot of conclusions.

Anyway, a year of posting every single day without fail is a massive commitment ! And endings are always the beginning of something new… :sunny:

Congratulations @jeffy89 for hitting your goals and for all the progress you’ve made, and for having the guts to share your experiences openly and without fear.
What a journey it has been

Exactly, I can imagine that after a year it’s time to stick to the ā€˜better lifestyle’ without (the obligation to) posting a daily entry in a log every day. :slightly_smiling_face:

But I hope she pops in every now and then to let us know she’s ok.

Awww Chris, thank you so much for your kind words :sob::sob::sob: I will miss seeing your journal on here, hope you keep posting in other threads & definitely let us know how you are getting on!!

I wish you so much happiness for the future, it’s been great to read this last week what a good time you had on holiday, both enjoying the trip & overcoming your ED… This is recovery! Your ED experience is fast becoming a small part in a much bigger overall life experience, & I hope as you keep growing up, little sister :blush: your life will keep getting bigger & more full of amazing things, & the ED & its hold over you will seem tiny by comparison. I wish you all the luck in the world for the future, just remember to always love yourself!! My inbox is always open to you, so this is not goodbye, even if it is the end of your excellent, dedicated & courageously honest journal.

Much love to you today & as you continue on your journey! :kissing_heart::kissing_heart::kissing_heart:

oh wow you guys really know how to make a girl feel so loved :two_hearts: :’)) this outpouring of well wishes, kind praises and support…I truly have no words. Also kinda cool to see that my log has become somewhat like a Netflix series to some of y’all (@latestfuels :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) Thank you. Thank you so much. Y’all have become like my Huel family…man I’m going to miss this so much.

@ChrisH0402 the team hasn’t actually interacted with this post before since the beginning ahahah I don’t think they’re really viewing it as a positive Huel success story… +idk mental illnesses are still q stigmatised so :woman_shrugging: thanks for the support tho, you always have the best ideas! :wink:
(ps my bowels still hate you)

@Ian42 haha rebel :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ah well I mean the forum doesn’t belong to me; so I guess i won’t force my updates if it’s not wanted :woman_shrugging: was mostly posting out of loyalty and Huel love anyways!
(+ I’ve heard ā€œyou don’t wanna mess with the people who make your foodā€¦ā€:wink:)

@ChristinaT thanks for your well wishes! haha true, but I also most definitely would not have stopped had the advice/request not come from above; love y’all way too much!! :relieved:
yeah, I guess all I can do is to focus on the positives and move on from here! It’s been a great year :’)

@DunsfordMage still feeling a bit raw atm but when I get over it I probably will pop by with an update or two or around the threads! we’ll see haha but thanks for your concern :))

@RyanT ehhhhh was a’ight :wink:

Yea, unfortunately and Huel isn’t specifically to aid in such purposes, so not it’s
a selling point that fits their purpose as a brand either.

As if I forced you to do that :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Just don’t listen to my ideas anymore :smirk:

Just wanted to post to say that I’ve been reading your journey over the past 6 months and the decision to stop the blog is absolutely disgraceful.

I’ve been buying Huel for some time, and your blog has been the only reason I’ve been coming back to the forum. I’ve now signed up just to say that this has been an absolute inspiration and it’s absolutely gutting that this has been stopped
