    Bruh my meals, if I remember to eat anything, are basically just a protein shake and a cheese stick. Every day. Or occasionally just chocolate chips and milk because it’s fast and tastes good enough I can eat it even if my body doesn’t want to eat.

    If I had the motivation to buy and cook a frozen pizza for an actual dinner, I’d feel like I’d been cured of mental illness lol


    Edit: To alleviate any concerns, I’m well aware of the health detriment. This is the worst I’ve been in a while, but I am working on it.

    Also thank you to the comments because just remembering this post made me remember to eat food rn lol. I’m eating some fruit now and am going to make some ramen with carrots and an egg later (totally forgot I had carrots lol)

    In case anyone else reading this is like me this is your reminder to eat food today; do it now before you forget again

        You’re 100% right, unfortunately my brain doesn’t connect the feeling better to the eating vegetables and I totally forget I bought them by day 2 and then end up throwing away rotting vegetables a week later.

        But I did just buy a mini fridge so hopefully keeping food nearby will remind me it exists and my brain won’t be able to use the excuses of “it’s so far away” or “you might have to interact with people in the kitchen or on your way”

          i think one of the best things to do is just stop thinking about it and do it. it works for me, and hopefully works for you too. USE YOUR WILL POWER!

            I have ADHD; executive dysfunction is a bitch, but yeah later in the day when my meds are kicked-in, that’s usually when I can do this. My schedule is just bad rn with school and work so I either don’t have the time or am exhausted.

      Get yourself a microwave meal, they’re honestly much better than they used to be, nuke it and eat it. Preferably one that contains vegetables but any will do. You’ll feel amazing for having real solid food inside you. :)

      ikr on a “bad day” I’m basically just grabbing a slice of bread and opening the fridge to find something edible to wrap it around.
