I’ve got into a place where eating is a bit by the by for me and I’d just as soon not bother to do it at all. I only ever rarely feel hungry and sometimes will make something and then a mouthful in I find I am unable to eat it.
Typically a day for me would be -
Nothing to eat until 5pm ish and then I would have a bag of crisps, maybe a slice of toast and then I may have a snack of a couple of biscuits in the evening. Sometimes I will have a bag of crisps in the day too.
Probably once a week I will eat a proper meal, such as a jacket potato and cheese, omelette or pasta. Maybe twice a week on a good week.
I am very tired all the time and I have been anaemic previously.
My BMI sits around 18, so I’m only slightly underweight but I am aware I look quite thin and probably ill a lot of the time.
I’ve got in such a pattern where I don’t even know what normal eating looks like and rarely ever even consider food.
I would like to do better as I know I am setting a poor example to my dc and at some point my lack of nutrients is bound to catch up with me.
Any suggestions as to where to start?
