ED Silly question regarding eating and hunger

[Bloomy]

I have some problems eating sufficientlly. Like yesterday there was only small breakfast and evening food.
Today Ive tried to compensate, but even do Ive been eating almonds, fish and two eggs Im still feeling like Ive eaten nothing and stomich rumbles. Im a fairly active person.

I wonder is this normal when your short of food? Or rather - is this the consequence of eating to little?

Add some whole grains...veggies and fruit. You're only getting protein and fats.

In the past 18 months I have lost a 100lbs, and I still find myself skipping meals.

At this lighter weight my health issues are more reactive than before, but I continue to have erratic eating habits.

I'm not sure. I have trouble eating when I'm anxious. I'm not hungry but I need food, so I have to make a concious effort to eat more and to eat enough. Whatever the cause, its important to feed your body what it needs. :)

@Zoogal I have to eat what Im able to eat. I do eat whole grain and carbos and such to, but I have problems putting things in my mouth and swallow down at times so then Ill just do my best and eat anything that goes.

Yes yes I know I must eat, but I just cant at times due to the above.

As some one said - when an animal is wounded and wants to die to animal will stop eating. Thats me.

Im still trodding on trying to be an animal that arise above the ashes of its death wish, but indeed Im aware of my severe struggle.

Just tired of feeling hungry....

Try some soup. Chicken soup, veggie soup, bean soup. You'll have to get back to getting used to eating again. You'll be amazed at how eating will help you feel at least a little better. Being hungry makes your symptoms so much worse.

@Zoogal Yes cant other then agree with you. Working hard to learn to eat again do obviously I fail often to do so. Thanks for suggestions on food :)

@Glo809 Wow!!!!! 100lbs is impressive. Would love to know how you did that. I like food way too much!!!,

@Bloomy Small handfuls of nuts, seeds. Maybe hard boil some eggs, so you could have one in between breakfast and late night meal. Crackers and cheese, or even an apple with some peanut butter might help. Just small amounts in between though....

Protein shakes, soups, things you find easier to swallow. I struggle to swallow a lot of the time and found some exercises that have helped a bit https://www.healthinfotranslations.org/pdfDocs/TongueBaseExer.pdf

I don't feel hungry until I'm starving. Literally. Either haven't eaten anything in a week or more, or have been consistently been not eating enough-or enough of the right things- for months. At which point, it comes on all at once, and either I eat myself stupid if there is food around, or throw something of a tantrum over the whole thing.

So I have to work really, really hard to eat something every day, and even harder to have balanced nutrition.

Do I want to eat every day? No.
Does eating often make me sick? Yes.
Does anxiety mean that even when I do eat, I'm not digesting it properly? AKA am sick? Also yes.

So I know if I'm hungry or stuffing myself, that it's a very bad thing, and I reeeeally haven't been taking care of myself.

So when "I can't" creeps into my vocabulary? I have to check myself, and figure out ways I can.
