Then, if you don't fill up because you skipped a meal, it's more likely to lead to bingeing. I also always try to have healthy foods around to snack on first (in most cases, I'm not perfect).
Yeah I think part of the problem is I don’t have set meals. I kind of eat at random times during the day. And it’s usually not a full well balanced meal. Sometimes I get caught up in whatever I’m doing and forget to eat then I overdo it trying to make up for it when I suddenly feel like I’m shaky and need to eat. I’m hoping to start cooking more and having actual meals Sometimes I struggle to eat anything at all because of the dissociation. So I have protein shakes for those times. Which aren’t ideal at all. But I physically can’t eat when I’m dissociating so I have to have something around because sometimes it can last upwards of half a day. Mainly because if I try to eat whole dissociating I might choke cause it makes it hard to focus and swallow food when I’m floating mentally

I need to start meal prepping more and cooking
