Eating motivation

@sadcat13

proud of you for sharing your struggles and finding a way that helps also seeking more help in motivating yourself 🤗

my current relationship with food isn't the best either but i luv how comforting soupy pasta is (yes I like mine a lil soupy🥰) also noodles, dimsums, sushi, pizza, kebabs, rolls, chocolate etc some that bring me joy

does any of this help? im drooling here lmao😭

@Optimisticempath @Optimisticempath yessss. Thank you for the wonderful pictures. Make me feel much more comfort around food. And hope you will also find something that helps you with food too🌻

@sadcat13 really glad to know and thank you too 🥺 your amazing!!

I love watching 2d animated depictions of food. They're hand-drawn with so much love and they always make everything look so good. ❤️ You can always find videos of them, but my top recommendation is a compilation on Youtube called "The Glorious Food of Studio Ghibli Supercut". It sparks so much joy!! The food is animated so beautifully and everyone always looks so excited and satisfied as they eat:

I also recommend looking up "Gordon Ramsey likes the food" because for all the times he's yelled about bad food, every scene on his shows where he likes what he eats is just so wholesome. He talks about all the good aspects of his food in great detail, and it sounds like that's just what you need to hear.

Also as a personal story, the other day I went out to eat at a restaurant! I got a Poke bowl with some Boba tea 😩 It was SO tasty, I'm hungry just typing about it! Fluffy white rice, mixed greens as a base, cooked shrimp and crab salad, topped with crunchy pieces of dried onion and noodle... The sauce on it was so good, YumYum Sauce and Ponzo... I don't think I'd heard of them before, but when I go home to my family on Christmas I'm gonna find out what they're made of or where they're sold because I just GOTTA cook with them!!

@AnyaThePickleInAPickle thank youuu for your help. I checked them out and they are amazing 🌻

Food is an absolute gift from nature! You quite literally become what you eat. It’s where your body gets the material to build your cells, and everything else in your body. How incredible is that??

@WayJay time to become a cheese sandwich 😄🧀

@sadcat13 sympathises with your eating disorder . Gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤❤ and shares my favourite food with you🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦yaaay icecream 😋

@Tinywhisper11 thank you. I´m having a very hard day, my ED is screaming. I really need it today.

@sadcat13 I only weigh 58 pounds probably a bit less now, cause I've been ill, but I'm only half a body. So that's not to bad. My is trauma related though, so it's a bit different. I'm sorry your struggling too . Ed is very hard. Make sure you drink enough water. Hugggs you tightly

@Tinywhisper11 wow. Converted it to kg and ooof. You are very light. And i thought with my 99.208 (converted to punds for u) is bad

@sadcat13

i can’t imagine how difficult and frustrating this must be for you at times 🫂🩷 i know what it’s like to experience panic attacks and so i understand the frustration and fear. here’s two of my favorite foods to eat! 

— here we have curried mutton and roti (jamaican style) it doesn’t matter the meat thou, chicken, pork, mutton once it’s curried ☺️

— this is ackee and salt fish with fried dumplings and fried ripe plantains .. when i was smaller my mom used to make bite sized chicken with the ackee instead of the saltfish, tbh i rather the chicken instead of the saltfish 

wishing you the best of luck cat!! 🩷

@WeEarth thank you, will check them out😊

My son has the same disorder he has autism I totally understand that struggle. So sorry you are struggling with this but so glad you came here for support ….

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful thank you. This disorder is peak mental pain. Your son is very brave for fighting it too 🌻

@sadcat13

My son has only a dozen safe foods that he is comfortable consuming he is in university doing engineering and doing well. He has lost 24 lbs the first term bc of so much walking and of course study so much he doesn’t eat or have foods that he prefers so I am always bringing him food …

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful that's heartbreaking to hear. I am in the same boat, although with a little more safe foods. Raw stuff is a big problem, but I can eat quite a lot of things I struggle with in raw state when it comes to cooked meals. So there is at least that. Also being underweight hard, around 45kg on 165 cm and 23 years of age. I feel exhausted all the time. I can't even imagine how much worse it is for him. 

@sadcat13

Frozen Greek yogurt with toppings yummy like ice cream 

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful this looks so good. Thank you 😊
