To think I’m not starving myself!?

Last year I put on a stone in weight. Coincidentally around the time I started taking quetiapine.

I’ve recently gone cold turkey on the bastards and the weight is falling off me. I’m not trying to lose weight, my appetite has just gone back to the way it used to be.

So yesterday I had a cereal bar for breakfast. A few quality streets for lunch and a portion of fish and chips from chippy for tea ... although I only ate half of that and have saved the rest for today.

Today I didn’t have breakfast but had the left over fish and chips at 12. Tonight I’ll have a homemade burger but I don’t want chips because I’ve gone off them and I know I won’t be hungry enough.

Typical day during the week - cereal bar for breakfast. Mackerel on toast for lunch and 2 fajitas for tea.

DH drinks from red cups when they’re mine says I’m starving myself and should see a doctor. Since when did it become abnormal to only eat when you’re actually hungry?? I’ve always had a crap appetite. It’s normal for me

Is your autism diagnosed?

Glad to see you like soup and dishes with sauces. Do you have space for batch cooking? It's amazing how many vegetables you can squeeze into soups and sauces. You could freeze the sauces in single portions and serve with whichever grain/pasta you feel in the mood for at that time. You could keep some frozen chicken/beef etc slices to defrost with the sauce.
How about omelette texture-wise? You can hide several veggies in there too.
