I got up this morning and drank a hibisicious ginger beer soda. Which also helped me contiune to feel better. I ate some gross pumpkin ramen and a Lunchable. I got coffee from Starbucks and my anxiety and physical issues all remained fine. I did take another ginger chew before going to therapy.
Therapy was very productive. I was focused the whole time because I wasn't nauseated or hungry. We talked about me returning to work. I talked about my fears but then I told her how I was fact checking at the same time. She asked me how my weight and eating was going. I told her I had been eating a lot of Lunchables. I told her I try to eat a lot of stuff for as little calories as possible. She didn't get mad but she did kinda straighten up in her chair and was just like "yeah that is for sure eating disorder behavior." I never knew it was? I've been doing that for years and never knew it was an issue. I told her I'd eat sugar free 50 calorie applesauces and she said "I bet you could list off the calories of any food I give you." She said knowing the calories of every food is also eating disorder behavior. I asked her if she thought I had one. She said based on what she knows she would put me in between the disordered eating and eating disorder categories.
Idk. I never really thought what I was doing was an issue.
At least I'm catching a break from my nausea which is then helping my anxiety. So thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

It's great to know about the ginger Dramamine stuff. Ginger can be amazing for helping with nausea. Ginger tea is also very helpful usually. Nausea is the worst.
