Prediabetic, underweight with no appetite!

[Cornelia49]

Hi Liz and thanks so much! 🙂
Yes, thanks, my therapist is great. I was initially referred re an eating disorder, I don't "tick the boxes" for that, but we're working on related issues ,which I hope will help in the long term.
Yes, there are times when I decide a ready meal is better than no food at all! I'm working towards improving my diet, but it's not easy - as I'm sure we all know! 😳

Thank you so much for checking in with me, sorry to have gone AWOL, lots going on atm! 😱

Cheers
Cornelia

hi Cordelia, you sound so much more cheerful🙂. Seems to me you need to eat, remember when i was depressed, with IBS. Cooking can be just too much effort. So long as you choose carefully, (maybe not shepherds pie) and have a stash of frozen veg to throw in a pan, its def better than panicking and not eating, because you cant work out what to have.
And yes, lots going on does not help. Good luck with it all. Liz

Hi Cornelia.

I have been through this and it does get better. Lots of support from family and friends and online forums even, people like Liz above. Very hard to eat when you don't want to eat.

Personally, I just felt like anything that I was going to eat was only going to add to my problems. I just ate a little and then a little more and then my body started dictating it, not my mind. My body was screaming for more food. I think since December, I have gained 10KG.

I don't know your story and am not pretending to know but once we clear some of the issues in our mind, the rest starts to fall in place. Another thing I did was a lot of exercise to build up my appetite. That helped a lot for me.

I wish you luck in your personal battle. But change it from a battle to a challenge that your mind can fight for rather than against.

Chris.
