(20/F/5'6"/110lbs) Always hated eating, never been healthy, never had energy.. I'm sick of this!Hi /r/fitness! I admit I've never stepped foot in here before but it's already obvious that this is a supportive and helpful community. And I desperately need advice! All my life I've been slightly underweight. As a child I hated eating and mom invented sneaky ways to get more calories in my body, probably not the healthiest ways but they kept me alive haha.. Still to this day I do these 'shortcuts' so I have to spend as little time as possible eating. I put loads of butter on my sandwich and hope the calories keep me awake through the day. I gulp down a snickers bar and drink Cola if I feel faint 'on-the-go'. I'm fed up with this. I'm depressed and anxious and I know my diet is not helping. I just dread getting in the kitchen and cooking a proper meal. Lots of food make me nauseated and I rarely have a good appetite. To follow subreddit's rule I'm gonna list some things that I know are factoring into this: 6 years ago I had anorexia, but have recovered and even ate pretty normally for a year after recovery, about 3 years ago. Today I don't want to be skinny, I just want to be healthy. I have been diagnosed with acid reflux and am taking Omeprazol for that. It still causes me to get nauseated when I'm full. I don't exercise except for walking my dog for 30 minutes a day and yoga once a week. I'm in a vicious cycle where I don't have any energy to exercise but I don't have energy because I don't exercise. I take anxiety meds that can cause nauseousness and many other side effects. I was in a car accident two months ago and my back has been a bitch since, but I'm starting physiotherapy in the next couple of weeks. I would love advice on how to start eating properly but in small steps so I don't get overwhelmed and frustrated too early. For example I like eggs but I usually fry them in loads of butter to increase the calories. What can I add to my eggs to increase the calories and nutrition haha? (Before you recommend chicken or sweet potatoes, I'm sorry but I can't eat those two. Pretty much everything else I can eat.) Goals: * Have more energy. * Enjoy cooking. * Enjoy eating. * Eating healthy + semi regularly. submitted by /u/DunkinDazzle [link] [comments]
