Time to start building your eating back up to healthy levels again.

The longer you leave it, the harder it ultimately becomes.

@HootyTheNightOwl it is so hard sometimes
@MommaBear I know... I'm struggling to keep my eating regular, too.

My diet is not balanced by any stretch of the imagination - but my main focus is on trying to eat at least one proper meal a day (and a sandwich is not a "proper meal" - apparently).

@HootyTheNightOwl I have 4 kids so I’m very busy and I skip meals I’m such a slow eater and I don’t like to eat alone so I never finish my food either
@MommaBear You won't be any use to your children in hospital, though.

From what you are telling me, I think that it might be better for you to try to eat six small meals a day rather than three larger meals - that way you might be finishing your meal at the same time as everyone else without skipping on the calories.

There's things like Nutrigrain bars that you can buy to snack on as part of a healthy diet. They're not a meal in their own right but should be good as a snack between meals if you aim for 6 smaller meals a day.
