I want some gum but it has no nutritional value and too many calories.

The brother told me I looked fat yesterday. I was getting used to eating. Now I feel terrible and I haven't eaten all day

@TheChaoticsystem

your brother should not tell you that but I had brothers and they love to tease and agitate. Most likely said that because he knows it's a sensitive issue for you. Since you haven't eaten today , and it sounds like you were doing really good nourishing yourself, maybe you can start off with something light. Fruit or crackers with peanut butter (great source of protein). Then later you can eat a meal. Gum is not enough calories to mu

@TheChaoticsystem There isn't a lot of calories in gum though. Not when you think about how much you "should" eat in a day. But I totally get it. When my ED got really bad again 3 years ago I thought that I couldn't have watermelon, bc I thought [edited by Anomalia for calorie specifics] was too much :3
