I have dealt with eating disorders before and maybe have had disordered eating for parts of my life. I was doing well and eating like 1800 calories a day and working out. Then my dad died 3/24 and I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks from being unable to eat dinner and ate less at other meals. However I kept my workout schedule for fear of stopping and gaining weight or losing muscle. My boyfriend started fighting with me more and dumped me 5 times but then wanted me back and I allowed that roller coaster which caused a lot of stress along with my grief. I started drinking more as well and because I knew I would sometimes have calories from alcohol I would less.... I eat breakfast (oatmeal) then a bowl of yogurt for lunch then nothing for dinner or maybe Half a piece of toast and then maybe a small snack before bed. I am sometimes eating a little more than that. I feel nauseous all the time and kind of dizzy. I make excuses that I’ve already eaten if I meet people for dinner or tell them I don’t feel good. Recently I don’t feel good and feel nauseous all the time which makes eating harder. I don’t drink every day but maybe every three days to also help deal with all my stress. I also chew and spit foods when I’m really hungry so I don’t actually have to eat it. I don’t feel like I look any skinnier and I don’t think my stomach looks flat enough but my boyfriend said i look way too skinny. My other friends encourage me to eat sometimes if we are out knowing that I I lost all that weight. I know I’m depressed and have severe anxiety. I see a therapist but can’t get an appointment until later in June but am on the waiting list. I didn’t think this was a problem until I started feeling sick all the time and then I started thinking maybe not eating is making my stomach feel sick. But I am afraid to eat a big meal. I don’t want to gain back the weight. I like how I am and am scared to put on any weight. In high school I went through a time when I only ate 500 calories a day for a long time. I lost a lot of weight. When I weighed more before my dad died I counted my calories every day to eat 1800 but I know I was eating enough but I never went over. I always ate the exact amount or less I also didn’t drink back then. I started drinking due to the stress of the grief and my boyfriend. The fighting and sadness is not manageable.

Maybe try eating 6 small meals, take a multivitamin and consider getting referred to a registered dietitian for meal plan ideas. Sorry for the loss of your dad.

Hi there! I’m having some serious problems with eating too. In fact every time someone mention it in front of me I get sick. I try so hard to at least eat a meal to two a day but I’m really struggling considering I’ve been feeling depressed quite a while now. Hope you’re feeling better than I am.

Maybe for one of your 3 meals try protein drink or smoothie since possibly easier to stomach and tolerate than solid food. Good luck!
