Eating When Sick

by

I hate eating when I am sick. I am not hungry yet starving at the same time. It can become very confusing and it doesn’t help when all I am trying to do is lose weight. At the moment, I have finished my food for the day. It was not all weighed and measured as I would have preferred. I ended up eating a lot more grains than I had planned and it bothers me. If I didn’t have an early morning tomorrow, I would stay up late and do my cardio. In this case, it is not possible. So, in the meantime, I have to just give it to G-d and have faith that I am doing the right thing for my body and my health. The weight loss will come. I only have to stick to my food plan and it will happen. Period. There is no reason to stress over it. … but I am a little bit, so I thought I would bring it up in this blog. Why can’t I just be normal around food? It is so annoying and frustrating. I would love to simply eat food like everyone else and have it not be dramatic at all. Man, that would be amazing. Being sick alone is stressful enough - and on top of it, I am analyzing everything I am eat. I am not eating cookies or cake or any of that nonsense. I am taking great care of myself and my body is digesting and keeping everything down. That is all I could ask for as my body heals itself. I am praying for patience.

About Eating Disorder Talk

The goal of Eating Disorder Talk is to encourage family and friends of people living with disordered eating - as well as sufferers - to learn more about the conditions, where to get help, the risks associated and another vessel of communication. I come with 20 years of experience living with (and sometimes for) anorexia; my job is not to cure, it’s to allow others to speak. This means wanting to help those that want help and to provide a voice to those who don’t.
