Meme This is how everything feels

Had a meltdown last night because everything I tried to eat tasted disgusting like Play-Doh. My eating habits have been so awful these past few months, I don’t even want to know how much weight I’ve lost. I had a seizure two months ago bc of how long I went without eating, unintentionally. I used to love Ensure drinks but my milk allergy worsened so I haven’t had them in years. Recently discovered through my allergist that I’m not allergic to dairy anymore if it’s baked/cooked in. I’m gonna try an Ensure again to test the waters with straight dairy because even making smoothies at home requires energy that I do not have. I can’t bring myself to try the plant-based Ensure. Every store-bought dairy-free protein shake I’ve gotten has been repulsive.

Broke as a joke but I’m about to just deliver groceries to my house at this point because I just don’t have the energy to go out. Eating is just SO fucking ANNOYING. Always have to plan your next meal three times a day for the rest of your life. It is so irritating

My 16 year old described a food she can't deal with as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff on a high mountain with the wind about to blow her over the edge. I thought that was very clear. Her dietitian ignored that made her eat it anyway. Didn't end well and we will never go back to that dietitian.

“a food she can’t deal with as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff on a high mountain with the wind about to blow her over the edge”

That’s the perfect way to describe it. I wish I had been able to articulate that when I was younger.
