My therapist

At my appointment today after i told her i got dizzy and light headed yesterday at work, she is strongly recommended i look into treatment for ptsd and a eating disorder.

My parents used food as a punishment and a way to get me to stop having tics and outbursts. It got much worse after my sister died. The more outbursts i had the less food i got. Their they wouldn't let me eat.

Their are times i barely eat anything at all. And the days im having a lot of outbursts i don't eat.
I guess its been hard wired in my brain.

Say to yourself, "everyone else eats some breakfast or lunch or dinner, and most have all 3. Our body NEEDS this to maintain cell function, for nutrients. I need to meet this basic need like my kids do, or friends or anyone."
And just start small even..a banana or yogurt before lunch, a nice salad or sandwich midday, and maybe chicken with veggies or rice at dinner. All are low cal, and sustain you. Our food is not do we deserve it, its fuel for sustaining us. Just like putting gas in the tank of a car when its nearing Empty. You got this!!🌈🍓🌹
