Uninterested in eating

[MyWillow]

I can relate to this. I was a massive foodie. Now I have little interest. It didn’t help that my physical injuries still make it difficult to lift pots and pans. Let alone shop.

I try to commit to eating one decent meal a day. That might require me to eat out or buy something pre-made but nice for dinner. The other thing that has helped is getting back into gardening. It’s a nice way to channel all that nervous energy. And just planting some salad leaves, rocket, basil, chilli, beetroot etc inspires me not to waste it. Boil some eggs from my chickens, add Ryvitas and mayo and there’s an easy lunch.

Have you tried juicing? Whenever I want to pack in a LOT of nutrition without having to eat a bunch of stuff, I go for the juicer.

It would take several meals to eat the amount of solid food I put in one glass of juice. I scored a Jack LaLane Power Juicer at a thrift shop for $4 that works like a charm.

I can put a whole head of romaine lettuce, a whole head of celery, a few apples, a knob of ginger, a couple beets, other foraqged greens as the seasons permit, and some aloe vera into the juicer and end up with about a quart or more of liquid...then I use the pulp to mix with chickpea flour to make flatbread since I no longer eat the store bought kind.

It's definitely not convenient, but it's been a very positive and nurturing experience in my world. Wishing you wellness in your pursuits.

I understand not wanting to think about it for too long, but if you aren’t focusing on eating well you’re going to suffer deficiencies sooner or later.


If they’re bad enough and you may think you’re massively depressed, can’t even get out of bed. Yeah, this is how bad my iron deficiency was. I thought it was depression. Nope. It was a deficiency that was making me feel so horrible.

Please don’t let this get any worse. Seriously, you don’t want to end up feeling as bad as I was.
