I posted a topic yesterday saying that I had started eating again. Well...maybe you could define 'eating again' for me.
I'm eating food at least and not resorting to ensures all the time or liquids to keep me going. But now I think it's more, eating food to keep me going rather than eating again. I've had one meal yesterday... shit!
Today at day patients I was due to have AM snack, Lunch and then PM snack. I completed the snacks but only managed half the lunch so I had to make it up with an Ensure. I suppose at least I didn't refuse the Ensure this time. The thing is I know I can't have anything tonight. Tomorrow is weigh day there and I'm worried about what they're going to say.
Sorry to anyone who gave me encouragements yesterday...guess I screwed that one up...

I think maybe eating again starts like this and we work towards eating whatever we want without worrying. It isn't just a switch it take a bit of time to unlearn and break the rules we set ourselves.

I don't think you screwed up. You did very well in group and maybe you will be able to eat a bit tonight after all. Don't decide on that now, let dinner time come and than just try. If you can eat some great, if not you'll try again tomorrow.

hon it takes some time, ive managed to have salad and a wee bit of protien and veg the last year or what, not managed at all to eat a proper meal, what others would consider proper anyway so don't be hard on yourself, it takes time. ensure is a good way though, and im glad you didn't refuse it, i usually do and i get it in the mornings i just gulp without thinking but i think hubby makes it thicker every morning and that worries me. oh well as i said don't beat yourself up, it takes time *hug*

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
