I encourage you to talk to your dr. you seem to have slipped off track. what is it going to take to get back on track? just writing this post indicates that you realize you have a problem and you want to do something about it. you just seem scared of the steps you have to take or the consequences of getting off track. you have got yourself in a good place before so I am confident that you can get yourself back there. set small goals for yourself. one step at a time. take care.  |
Hi there, thanks for getting back to me. Well, on a typical weekday this is what I usually eat:
Morning - nothing apart from a cup of tea and a yogurt (but that is pushing it)
Afternoon - packet of crisps/chocolate/candy and a cup of tea (very rarely anything else)
Evening - usually something more nutritious like a curry or a stir fry. Friday nights a takeout like fish and chips or Chinese.
I have fear about being force fed because my doctor has already told me I am low in a few minerals and vitamins and they needed supplementing. I also have difficulty swallowing too.
I am scared of the steps I know I need to take because I know that once I am well again my family will be back on at me about finding a job etc. Also I have problems with being consistent, I don't usually stick at anything.
