Well, long ago they had oil candles and there was one candle that had enough oil for one night of light, but it miraculously lasted for eight nights.

How do you navigate holidays while in recovery from your eating disorder?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>It can definitely be difficult when there seems to be this pressure to eat as a way of celebration. I personally suffered from Orthorexia which is an unhealthy obsession with healthy food. I try to follow my normal routines as much as possible and not restrict myself by skipping breakfast or lunch in trying to justify eating more later. Intuitive eating has been great for me by letting myself be in touch with my needs, even when surrounded by others. (An example of intuitive eating is eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full.) I also started creating my own traditions, such as going on a holiday hike in the morning and then spending the afternoon alone watching a movie to check in with myself. I am working on letting go of the pressure that holidays need to be a certain way. My holidays are starting to be a lot less focused on food and a lot more on things that I enjoy while connecting with those around me. Most of all, I try to be kind and remind myself that my body is just my shell. My worth isn\u2019t in my body or appearance, it\u2019s in my values and kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\" style=\"border-color:#E6E6E6\"><blockquote><p><span style=\"color:#2088d2\" class=\"has-inline-color\">I know I deserve food, and not only certain foods, but the foods that I want, the things I crave, the things that make my body and my mind feel good, and these latkes happen to be a recipe that do that.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What would you say to someone struggling with their relationship with food this holiday season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>I\u2019ll start by letting you know you aren&#8217;t alone, but that may not be enough to help you deal with the difficulty and pressure of food during the holidays so here are my 3 main tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Food isn\u2019t your enemy. I know it can feel that way, but it\u2019s actually the lens we put on food, separating it into groups of \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad.\u201d The fact is that all food has nutrition. I try not to say, \u201cI feel gross I ate so much,\u201d but instead I try saying, \u201cI ate what I wanted and I enjoyed it.\u201d By recognizing that you can eat something you want, you are empowering yourself to acknowledge that it&#8217;s okay to eat things you enjoy. (It has taken me a long time to be able to do this but has been one of the biggest helpers in my recovery.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Switch it up. You actually have more say in the celebration than you think. If gathering around food makes you anxious or can be triggering, bring a fun game to play with your friends\/family. This will help you shift the focus from sitting and eating to playing a game. Planning gives you the opportunity to have a celebration that you are comfortable with because you know yourself and your capacity best. I think that we can all start new holiday traditions that aren\u2019t food-oriented and maybe even focus more on enjoying the company of those around you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Lastly, it\u2019s okay to say,&nbsp;<em>NO<\/em>! I know this may be hard, but if attending a holiday celebration is going to trigger extreme feelings of guilt because you feel out of control, you don\u2019t have to go. Ask friends or family to raincheck and spend time alone focusing on you. Know that you can put yourself first, even if others may miss your presence. You are so worth it! You can also say no to anything you don\u2019t want to eat, and you are not required to try anything that you don\u2019t want to. Assert yourself and kindly say no if you are being pressured into having food you don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Why is this recipe so important to you and your recovery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>When I was really in a tough space with my Orthorexia, I felt latkes and other foods for Hanukkah were off limits. My mother&#8217;s recipe&nbsp;helped me take the first step with introducing latkes back into my celebration and using this recipe helps me remember how I was able to once again begin enjoying this food that is such a rich part of Hanukkah celebrations. Since then, I have been more adventurous and have tried other holiday foods that I used to categorize as \u201cbad,\u201d but now I know they carry different nutrition. When I first made these, I mentally was not able to eat full fried latkes because of the guilt and anxiety it would bring. Now, if I want to, I can, but I prefer these because even in recovery, I still have my ups and downs. I know I deserve food, and not only certain foods, but the foods that I want, the things I crave, the things that make my body and my mind feel good, and these latkes happen to be a recipe that do that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How does being in recovery from your eating disorder empower you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>As hard as dealing with an eating disorder was and still is, I won\u2019t let the disorder have the power anymore. Being in recovery empowered me to start educating people about self-love and body positivity\/neutrality. I now feel empowered to share my story, to not hide it or be ashamed, but to bring attention to how common eating disorders are and how much our society and media continue to perpetuate them. I\u2019ve taken my pain and turned it into a passion\u2014a passion for making sure that people see why so many women (and men) develop these disorders and how to help women gain their confidence back. I have a passion for self-love and showing that bodies come in all shapes and sizes and we should not press judgement on appearances. Recovering from Orthorexia empowered me to stop focusing on food and to start focusing on things that matter like helping others, mental health, social justice, and most importantly, being able to become a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ARL_Hanukkah_spacer.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60362\" width=\"840\" height=\"18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ARL_Hanukkah_spacer.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ARL_Hanukkah_spacer.jpg?resize=300,7 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ARL_Hanukkah_spacer.jpg?resize=768,17 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ARL_Hanukkah_spacer.jpg?resize=1024,23 1024w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ARL_Hanukkah_spacer.jpg?resize=584,13 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ARL_Hanukkah_spacer.jpg?resize=210,5 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oven-baked-latkes\" style=\"color:#2088d2\">Oven-Baked Latkes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/us\/en\/c\/aerie\/new\/1k7sqlcZ1266xyj-filtered?pagetype=plp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"2048\" width=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg 3235w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=2048,2048 2048w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=1536,1536 1536w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=505,505 505w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=1280,1280 1280w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=584,584 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ARL_Hanukkah_Edee_2.jpg?resize=210,210 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 Russet Potatoes&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 Yellow Onion&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 tsp.
