Trippin.......it is interesting how people either eat when stressed or don't eat. Thank you so much for your support......that's one reason I love PC so much is because we are here for each other in so many supportive places & things we can relate to......

Trying to force myself to eat, but find that I end up going several days trying to get the energy to cook let alone figure out what I might really be hungry for so that I will be more willing to eat...I know if the food taste good to me, there is more of a chance that I will eat it than just taking 1 bite.....but I can spend a day trying to figure out what food that is.

Sometimes I just go for a knife & the jar of peanut butter with honey. Have some tangerines in the refrig which are refreshing. I struggle as much with sleeping as I do with eating at times like this.....glad my pain specialist gave me some stronger meds to take for sleeping when I can't get to sleep....my blood pressure was so high one time in there because of my lack of sleep....he didn't understand initially that my lack of sleep wasn't just having a hard time sleeping, it was that I WASN'T sleeping......that was when he prescribed the sleep meds. I was using the natural ones until this thing with my husband hit. Sometimes when I need both sleep & food, I am just too exhausted to even get anything from the kitchen, but know if I go to sleep without eating, I will feel really messed up when I wake up.

Buttrfli......I remember your recent struggles....thank you for your experienced support........even knowing that food is a med....when my stress gets the best of me (it really has to be a bad situation to get to me like that) the nausea is bad & my energy to make myself something to eat. I just went to the kitchen & made one of those boxes of pad thai noodles......I did force myself to eat the whole thing....tasted ok.....a lot of time, I just feel like getting a nice bowl of ice cream out of the freezer.......think I need a nap this afternoon, feeling lousy. Only call I even had the energy to make this morning was to the legal aid to see what they have to offer in the way of divorce......didn't even have the energy to do the crafts I want to get done by Friday for the yard sale at church. I never should have married the jerk when I was young I wouldn't be dealing with his stupid financial destruction now.....he was always such a looser.....& he just kept prooving it but none of my family saw him for what he really was which was why they said he had to be a saint to put up with me when I was having all the suicide attempts after loosing my career & wanting the anorexia to win.....glad it didn't because I love where I am & how my life will be when he's no longer anywhere within messing up range. No one knew (not even me until just lately) that it was him & the marriage along with my career that took me to that dark place in my life
