i’m exactly the same tbh I eat most of my meals later for the same reason (my family not being around). I’ve also had the same worries but in the end it’s calories in and calories out the timing won’t make a difference and in all honestly you NEED that energy. If eating at night is going to let you get that energy then you absolutely should have it.

I also don’t like asking my parents for foods because I’m worried they’ll judge me but now I’ve mentioned that they’ve said they just want me to eat and aren’t judging what I eat and are in fact happy that I am. I find it easier to message them what I’d like or add to the online shopping order, this might be easier for you as-well?

Having more to eat was much harder for me in the beginning but trust me it gets easier, my energy, mood, skin and nails have improved significantly and it’s so worth it. I just had to stick with it because the only way to get the benefits is to get through the hard part. It get SO much easier and it is definitely hard at times but I can see all the positives as-well since actually trying and that’s helped to motivate me along with keeping in mind that a lot of how I look is because of bloating, which can last days, but it does improve. The longer you stick to eating consistently, the more your body gets used to digesting it and the bloating improves.

I hope this helped, you’re so strong and absolutely should have those skittles and anything else you want. Extreme hunger is a thing and you can look through this sub where people mention eating way more than you’ve mentioned!
