I keep forgetting to eat between writing stints. i can last 25 to 30 minutes. then need a break due to fatigue and pain. Then after 30 min to an hour, I can do another stint. Rinse and repeat.

And yet I consistently forget eating is a thing my body needs. *sighs*

It's "funny" how a few words can seemingly undo months and years of work on your #self-esteem, #self-worth, and #BodyImage. Writing this blog post was hard and I cried a lot as I wrote it. But I want to share it with the world anyway, hoping that maybe other people feel a little less alone because of it.

@drandrewv2 I agree, well said!

You're right, there are so many of us! Especially within the #AutisticCommunity

I also prefer #SameFoods and a strict routine. After #Anorexia and #DisorderedEating I have found what works for me, and like you, I don't eat the same as my family anymore and no-one has a problem with it!

Thank-you for sharing and your honesty, it's good to know I'm not alone. 💗

The main thing on my to-do list for the rest of the day is: eat.

I'm planning to go grocery shopping tomorrow, so allocating time to eating today is efficient in that it allows me to organize the grocery list.

Apparently I am not yet fully persuaded by "eating is necessary to sustain life" and "eating can actually be enjoyable."
