too much junkfood... not enough regular cooked food, or at least that was the case sunday anyway.

yesterday wasn't so bad, but not one of my better days still

[Deilla]

I ate well until the late afternoon. I had 2 servings of grits cause I was stressed.

I just read about this disorder where you are an extreme picky eater. That sounds like me. For the past few weeks I’ve only been able eat little cups of peanut butter, chicken noodle soup with no broth, some canned pasta, eggs, crackers/chips, and the only chocolate I can eat is Kinder chocolate. I can drink iced coffee, and soda and tea though. Everything else makes me feel sick. I had a macaron today and it was disgusting. I can’t remember the last time I had pizza. I think it was about 5 weeks ago. I don’t know. I guess I just like the taste of the same food and I don’t want to get away from that.

Today has been difficult for me emotionally. Several times I thought about eating heavy meals just to be eating. But I told myself no. Tonight I'm not hungry. But I want more grits. I may just eat a banana.

small successes: I'm trying to save myself for my evening meal.

working so far but hungry so don't know if it will last

I have a new tin of cookies

I spent 10/15 minits struggling to open the tin, then I found out I didn't like them much.

dinner wasn't great today but was okay. ate it all still

I've been eating a lot of carbs lately. I have real bad cravings in the middle of the night. Last night I had pancakes.

I wish I had pancakes more, honestly. love them with lemon on them

had chicken today. it was okay

[Deilla]

I ate late last night. I had a couple of eggbites. But I haven't wanted carbs this morning. Maybe I need to add more protein to my diet.

I haven’t felt like eating all day. I didn’t do breakfast the way I was told. I just had peanut butter. Lunch was fine. I got coffee after. I need to eat 2 packages of oatmeal for dinner just to make people happy. There is nothing I want to eat but the oatmeal is the least vile thing right now that I can think of. I know I’m under my calorie goal, probably by a lot but whatever. I’m going shopping in the morning for a few safe foods.

I had my late-night snack last night. I just had 2 slices of cheese. I guess the protein helped. I'm not hungry and I don't want carbs. I'm thinking of having two boiled eggs for breakfast. I think I am doing well. During the day I am fine. My only trouble area is something really sweet. I don't normally buy sweet stuff, but I had a smoothie yesterday. It was so sweet that I had another one. I can't buy that smoothie mix anymore. I just have to use plain fruit.

The only things I’ve been consistently eating lately are peanut butter, noodles from soup, and scrambled eggs. I had been eating oatmeal and bananas and crackers but then they started grossing me out. I had a couple soft pretzels in the last few days which were ok. At this point I don’t care if I only eat 3-4 kinds of food as long as I’m eating. This girl I saw on the news was autistic and only eats spaghettios with meatballs and they were having trouble finding them during the pandemic.

Basically if I eat the same things everyday the main thing is to make sure I have a good supply on hand at all time.

I doubt my therapist cares what I’m eating as long as I do actually eat. She understands sensory issues regarding food.

I've been doing a little better.

much more junkfood than proper food this week.

still don't enjoy regular food as much as chocolate and chips, so need to fill up somehow

I also had one of my famous stomach aches this week, so that shows in itself I am eating too fast

[Mountaindewed]

I ate different stuff today. I still didn’t eat great but my stomach wasn’t hurting so I was able to eat new things and not have an issue. I had a weight watchers TV dinner at 10:30 and then I ate a little bag of chips and a European chocolate bar at 1:30. I know that wasn’t a good lunch but it made my anxiety so much better. Dinner was a hard boiled egg and a cup of steamed vegetables. I did have a couple unhealthy drinks today which were 500 calories total. So yeah I ate pretty badly today but I didn’t feel sick so I think that’s an improvement.

Lately I’ve been reading a book about someone who inherits a house with a housekeeper who cooks her meals as well as cleans, and it’s made me very hungry and wish that I had my own private chef. Tomorrow I’m picking groceries curb side and hope I get all of the foods I ordered online, occasionally there are a few items missing, but it’s so convenient to pick groceries up, it’s worth it.

[Deilla]

I did some stress eating yesterday. I ordered a sandwich with bread cause it's comfort food. But the bread is not really on my eating list. I'm trying to relax about it. Last night I ate a lot of snacks like cheese and nuts and Mac'n cheese. I use food to help me feel better. I know there are better things to do. It's just hard.

after reading that I just want to rewatch downton abby.

good thing I have it on dvd

I surprised myself yesterday by eating my mcdonalds (all of it) without getting a stomach ache.

I say surprised because I spent most of the day eating salt and vinnegar crisps and I didn't think I had the room

too many crisps today... like 3 packets so far today, but that's still a lot

I just finished dinner, and I didn't eat much of it..

not surprised- lots of junkfood today.

feel quite ill now

[Deilla]

I wanted to stress eat some noodles yesterday. But I told myself not to do it. I had 2 slices of cheese instead. Not great. But better. I will allow myself the noodles for breakfast. It's a new day. And I've been good most of the morning.

I did not too well today.

ate an entire 6 pack of mint aero chocolate bars, plus my main meal, plus 4 (4) yogourts

I don't feel as full as I did last night, but I still think it's pretty accessive
