Contemplating
One of the worst things about ED is contemplating..you wake and contemplate everything...what you should eat, if you should eat. It gets so frustrating and the worst part is that u crave food yet u cant make yourself eat. Then when you finally do eat you feel so guilty.
When anxiety makes eating difficult, it can feel overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that small steps are okay. Start with easy-to-digest snacks like a smoothie or yogurt, or something simple like crackers, if full meals seem too much. Setting a timer to eat, even if it’s just a few bites, can help create a routine without adding pressure. If you can, try eating with your sister or a friend for support, as being around someone you trust can make the process feel easier. Sometimes distractions, like listening to music or watching something light, can help reduce anxiety while eating
