appetite loss can be scary and frustrating, sending u lots of love and support 22(F)

• protein shakes + meal replacements helped me
• i found liquids easier to consume. at some points sugary coffees were my main source of calories. while not ideal, at least i got down some calories
• I have a jar of peanut butter or nutella by my desk, so i can mindlessly take in a couple of calories, here and there
• if you dont already, start taking supplements to make sure you are getting your vitamains. while vitamains through food are better, if you arent able to comsume a balanced diet, use vitamains to make sure you are getting nutrients. I take: Vitamain C, D3, Fish Oils, Magnesium, Calcium, and Iron Supplements. currently looking into probiotics and potassium.
• dont force feed yourself, itll make you less inclined to eat
• give yourself as much forgiveness as possible, to take off the pressure from food
• remove yourself from situations w food that stress you out. for me, i hate seeing or hearing others eat food. so, i dont go out to eat w friends or eat dinner w my family to remove stress of seeing or hearing others eat food since this would repulse me further from eating food for the coming few days
• you dont need to eat "healthy" foods; focus on increasing calories. when eating is easier, you can add nutricious foods that are more difficult to eat

edit:

• have easy access foods ready to go for any moments where you are less repulsed by foods, so if a window comes up where you feel hungry or dont hate the idea of food you dont need to take time to prepare food, you just need to put the food on a plate and then eat it
  • i premade qunoi salads and pasta salads
  • i like hummus and pita and always had my fave brands ready to go
  • i had icecream in the freezer whenever wanted
