You have to slowly reintroduce food to your body. the best thing to do is sit down and talk to your boyfriend. be completely honest with him and if he really cares, he will stick around and help you through this. but hiding things in a relationship is only toxic for it. communication is the most important thing.

Just what Jaydensmama said. You have to introduce food to your system slowly. So, you'll have to tell your boyfriend that there are some things that you just can't eat...like the really, really heavy and rich foods. Such as burgers, fries...anything saturated in grease.

Try lighter foods like half a chicken sandwich, salad, fruit and veggie sticks, crackers, a bagel with either butter or cream cheese.

I find that if I haven't eaten in quite a while, chips, pop, popcorn, burgers or anything really heavy or really fatty...makes me feel worst. So try off lighter.
