For a couple of my meals I've taken a picture of the "meal" (sometimes it's actually meal-worthy food but crazy small portions and sometimes it's literally a cut up pickle and hot sauce), and after eating captioned it with what I had to do before, during, and after to handle eating. I was thinking of doing this for the harder days, and showing my therapist and maybe that will help her connect the dots and maybe she'll think "ay, maybe lunch shouldn't make someone think about ways they can die for a few hours a day most days because holy fk this is ridiculous."

For a second I thought maybe it's a bad idea because it'll be kind of a reinforcer, but realized the behaviors are already there, I'm just capturing them with a picture and narrative to make sure she sees what is genuinely happening.

Thoughts?
