My daughter said this to me this week and it resonated. I have had issues around eating and I did work out why I did something and stopped. Then I had massive trauma and barely ate for two years. Then I had the it doesn't matter what you eat as finally you're eating but this involved too many biscuits and too much chocolate.

I ate salad every day, with sandwiches and pasta but not enough protein or vegetables. Sorted that. But I still spend too much time thinking about food.

I need to lose 1.5 stone and it feels too difficult due to the emotion I have around food and eating.

Gah. Food NOISE

Can you have a set menu and basically eat the same every day,n with minor variations? For instance…

Omelette for breakfast
Tuna salad for lunch
Greek yoghurt with berries for snack
Chicken breast or salmon fillet plus vegetables or salad for dinner

Buy the ingredients once a week and don’t keep unhealthy food in the house. Stay clear of UPF, sugar, refined carbs, alcohol. Drink only water, tea, coffee.

That's a good idea and I did have time where I pretty much had the same thing with slight variation. I have always had food issues but I really want to get over them. It's such a waste of time and emotion amd hating myself selves no purpose.

Thank you.
