    I like eating bagels with sweet chilli soft cheese and smoked salmon or I mix together shredded cooked chicken with sweetcorn & mayo and have that on top.

    1) I vote for random bagel too.

    2) Figure out which bagels you like best and buy more of those bagels (and fewer of the bagels you don't like or don't like as much). If my assigned eating was bagels, I'd be crushing asiago cheese bagels first, and then cinnamon bagels for desert.

    This is completely unhelpful Josh. Is it cinnamon or cinnamon raisin? Honestly there's a huge vast gulf of difference.

    Also, cinnamon raisin bagels, toasted with butter melted into . . . ohh gotta go, hungry!

    Go home, DC, you're drunk.

    I said cinnamon bagels, so I meant cinnamon bagels. If I meant cinnamon raisin, then I would have said cinnamon raisin...except that raisins don't belong in bagels, so I would never say that. Yes, vast gulf: cinnamon = awesome; cinnamon raisin = abomination.

    Great. Now I want a cinnamon bagel.

    ETA: Unless, of course, you like raisins in your bagels...and then by all means enjoy your raisin bagel. *shudder*

    So guys I am not in such a good place right now and hating the bagels. No appetite for them at all so need help deciding for tonight whether white, oata and honey, or cinn raisin and which topping. Or do i just throw in bag and grab random one. Lately been doing wheat with jelly.

    I vote random but hey, had an idea!

    Have you thought about mix-matching them? Maybe have half cinnamon raisin and half plain? (or some other combo?) Might help keep the flavors from getting boring :D

    I'd eat honey off your bagel!

    You could slice the bagel and toast it in the pan with a touch of olive oil and top it with a bit of salmon, parmesan, or hummus if it is savory, and a bit of cinnamon or honey if it is sweet.
    So proud of you, keep up the good work.

    I use" Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese" ! It's nice and creamy and smooth. and just tastes good. Besides, they sent me free coupons for products to taste their stuff when I went vegetarian so perhaps I enjoy it more? :)

    I hate to admit it, but I really like the steak egg and cheese bagels from McDonald's. So bad, and yet so good.

    If you are getting tired of the bagels, you could try to slice them thin, to get 4-6 slices out of them instead of just 2 halves, toast them to crispness. Then you can use them like chips to dip in hummus or guacamole or anything else you like.

    Salmon, crispy or as it comes is extremely good for you.

    I didn't read all the posts but I noticed you mentioned diet things you couldn't use. I was wondering if you really don't want to put the higher calorie foods on your bagel? If that is the issue, use fruit or Polanar all fruit spread or Smucker's brand if these are available. I like raisins just sitting on top or sprinle plain cinnamon on top. I like the other suggestions, too. Just wasn't sure what kinds of foods you could handle while you are recovering from an ed. Keep going. You're to be admired.

    I like sliced olives on a bagel, with or without a little bit of cream cheese. Tomato slices, basil, and just a teensy drizzle of olive oil are also really good.

    You're doing an amazing thing, working so hard on recovery. Keep it up, honey; I promise from experience that it gets easier and less scary.

    Those things are so salty. I would eat one everyday on my way ome from work. Occasionally, I would have one of those Steak McSkilletr burritos too.

    Guys there is an awesome spread out there..it's an Orange jam with fiber! About to add it to cinn raisin bagel :)
    Wasn't a fan of the tomoto sauce with plain bagel...but I tried.
    Did love the PB2 one...but still scared of it.

    gonna have to find some of that.

    We made pumpkin butter this past weekend in the crock-pot. I'd bet it'd be fantastic on a bagel. Canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spices, apple cider (or juice), and then some brown sugar.

    I know you said you couldn't/ or weren't in a place to do high fat. But what I normally do, is smear cream cheese on each half then top with lettuce, tomato, and onion and bake @ 350, for about 15m. So good!!

    Brie microwaved for 20 sec; salty good quality creamy butter either plain or with orange marmalade; thin slices of cucumber with butter; butter with smoked salmon and cucumbers or onions; brie with marmalade; pesto; ham and cheese; ham and cheese and butter, plus cucumbers or tomatoes, blt. Basically you can use it with anything that you will put on a bread. You can also eat half a bagel and load each side with ham, cheese tomato, etc, put it in the oven for a few minutes and have mini pizzas.

    Wow! Didn't expect so many supportive, amazing responses.

    First off, yes I have a weight loss ticker, but I have also been on this site for 600 something days...and I don't log my weight on here anymore..so idk if that's even accurate. And since I don't log my weight...i don't care to worry about how to fix it.

    Definitely will tackle the high-fat ones when I am ready (definitely a fear thing) and I agree with everyone who said they like plain bagels...so do I, but my nutritionist says it can be considered disordered behavior...thus I have to have spreads. So here are some things I liked..btw the flavors I have at my "disposal" are Plain (which I am terrified of but am eating tonight), Oats and Honey, and Cinnamon Raisin. Oh and Everything bagels...but I am still scared of those. So onto the list (in increasing fear order and with the flavor bagel think good with)

    1. Cucumber (may be doing this on the plain tonight)--On white, wheat, or everything
    2. Microwave banana/other fruits (may get my nutritionist to allow me to use part of fruit from snack to count as spread that way don't have so many extra calories...still tackling this)---any of them except Everything
    3. Jam--any except everything bagel
    4. PB2--on white or wheat
    5. Pumpkin Butter--on wheat, maybe cinn raisin?
    6. Apple butter--maybe good on cinn raisin or wheat
    7. Ricotta cheese (I use fat free variety)---all except cinn raisin
    8. Egg white--all except cinn raisin/
    9. Honey--prob cinn raisin
    10. Salsa--wheat or white
    11. Guacamole--white or wheat..maybe everything
    12. Hummus---all except cinn raisin
    13. Pizza Sauce--white or wheat
    14. Salmon--all except cinn raisin

    The fear is basically calorie dependent, because I know I only really have to do like 20-40 cals for spread. Had an ED since I was 6...so got a long journey ahead of me. Raised by anorexic mom....so literally I was taught to eat as an anorexic...tomorrow I go to my mom's house and just hope she accepts me eating bagel....we shall see...

    Also here is my blog :)http://freedomhunger.blogspot.com

    Just want to say i am so extremely proud of you. i know i know sounds strange coming from a stranger but I am. i too will also be following your journey through your blog. :flowerforyou:
