It's been a struggle

The last time my weight has low as it was I was in the hospital for almost 2 months. I gained a lot back after I got out by the last 6 months I have not been kind to myself.

So at the start of the new year I've been working hard with my therapist, our support group and of course my family to get back to a safe weight again and I've gained almost 20 pounds since January. I still have my bad days where I barely eat anything but they are getting less and less.

I prescribe you, Dirtcake! If that doesn't downright stop or slow down your digestive system, but that's not the issue right?
It's more like an inability to even attempt/want to eat, correct?

@Levenrack my mom used to withhold food from me whenever I had a tic or an outburst as a child she did this for years. She would also hit me every time I had a tic at the dinner table so I have a lot of PTSD surrounded with eating the dinner table and my tics and outburst

@Cigarguy Yeah that's too bad. I suppose it's so ingrained in you that you feel like you're under attack just sitting at the dinner table. Eating alone as well I take it?
God I hope one day you'll be able to overcome this and feel at ease, eating with your family.
