So after having been sick I'm still having trouble with food. I ate absolutely nothing the day I was vomiting because I didn't want to give my stomach anything it couldn't handle (which was everything, including water) but then the following day I forced myself to eat but could only manage a little bit, and every day since, it's been a huge battle to eat. Right now, I'm absolutely starving but I look at food and it makes me feel ... I don't want to say nauseous, because it's not nausea, but just like, nothing is appetizing.
I know, I know, good time for you to lose weight, har har har, losing weight by not eating anything is the least healthy way to do it. I want to go back to enjoying food again.![]()
Ouch that sucks. Wish I could give some tips for trying to keep food down but honestly I've never had that issue ever. There's no kind of med that you could take. Hell maybe even some sleeping pills get tired as hell and fall asleep before you have time to throw up all your food (though just in case sleep on your side/stomach not on your back @.@ because don't want to throw up and choke yourself in sleep lol).
Oh I'm done puking, I just have no appetite even though I'm really hungry.
If you're not puking, I'd just say eat anyways? Regardless of hunger?
eat something calorie dense, even if it's not that healthy (Ice cream, peanut butter, etc.) so you don't have to eat as much volume. Just try to get some degree of calories in
Make yourself eat as much as you can keep down. You will regret it if you don't, if this carries on too long. I've done that.
I suggest light, basic foods with high calorie counts: bread and butter, pasta, yogurt, cereal, that sort of thing. Candy too. You want easily accessible calories, and those things are all really easy to digest. One of my old favorites is the Cartwheel: pasta, olive oil, and grated parmesan.
Yeah, that's what I've been trying to do. I went to the grocery store earlier today to pick up some of my favorite foods (some very firmly set in the "junk" category) in the hopes that I'd go on like a binge or something. Never as a fat girl did I ever want to binge myself on food, but I do worry about not eating because if it continues that could become anorexia. Not cool.
I'll keep trying to push it.
I'd be more concerned about losing muscle mass. Shit aint fun.
my own fail: I started the DLC for Dark Souls. The NPC that is supposed to be there is dead. Apparently, the other NPC involved in the DLC is linked to this NPC... so when she got smacked in the face by a golem and died, so did this NPC. Only save I have that predates the face-smacking is two whole areas back. Took me like 4 days to do all that shit. God damn it. At least this time around should go faster, but ugh.
If you are having a hard time keeping food down I would stick to easy foods, white rice with a little soy sauce, sour dough bread with just some light butter, saltine crackers with a little bit of peanut butter, apples and pears lots of apples and pears and apple sauce. Also yoghurt.
Oh my god. No, I am not having trouble keeping food down. I am having trouble wanting to even eat it at all. Once I do eat it, it's fine, I've just had trouble getting to that point.
Would be a good time to learn how to eat out of habit instead of out of appetite/hunger. If you're not having trouble keeping it down, then just eat. The same way you brush your teeth or do any other routine. Learn to do it because it's something you need to do vs only wanting to do it when you feel you desire to
If you set aside like an hour to slowly eat once slice of pizza, while chatting with friends or something, you'll eventually finish it off. That's basically what I do when adderall completely kills off my appetite.
Exercise, it's a good way to create a craving by your body. Also it'll stop you from losing muscle mass. And while no calorie "diets" aren't really a good way to do it, at least exercising minimizes the main negative aspect (loss of muscle). Usually you lose your hunger for a short while during/post exercise, but it often comes back with a vengeance an hour or so later. Just do some easy bodyweights exercises or something.
Called the wife to say I was heading home as I thought I left my work badge at home. She tells me she handed it to me, didn't even realize I had it around my neck.......
Brought my car in for a brake recall. Get it back and the clutch is slipping. Joy.
Women are fucking insane in some of my FB groups. I have to restrain myself from telling them how stupid they sound. This is why we can't have nice things.
Ugh, I got a realy bad cold and up until a bit ago, I had no tissues, finaly go outside to find a box and..
Sis aggros and asks me to bring more stuff inside. All while i got snot dripping out of one nostril. Ugh. Cold go away.
2nd new pair of glasses in the past month, first pair were beyond useless and while these new ones are better than them and about match my old ones for most part they absolutely suck when using the computer which is a fair amount of time/day, so back to these old scratched to buggery ones that work better it is then!![]()
