Post-surgery, I'm down almost 10lb. Some of that is to be expected, but I haven't regained it.

-
I also quit drinking, and that is undoubtedly a factor. But what can't be overlooked is how little I'm eating.
-
"I'm happy with my body" is a weird statement for someone who just had $80,000 worth of major plastic surgery done, but it's true.
-
It's easy for me to hide it. It's easy to not be noticed not eating. So I'm talking about it a bit today to shine a little light on myself.
-
Anyhow, recovery is an active process and good intentions don't erase the complexity of the struggle.
-
To end on a positive note, here are some things I am doing: - I use an app called Rise Up to track eating and mood. It pings me reminders.
-
- Working remotely for a company -3h means my lunch hours are meeting time. After, I leave the house to ensure I don't work instead of eat
-
- My wife and other close folks check in with me. - I make sure to keep snacks stocked so I can still eat healthy even if I won't meal.
-
Feel free to DM me if you need. I can't offer real help, but I'm happy to talk privately about how I am approaching this.

Im so sorry you're struggling with food. You deserve to be able to talk about it (if you want to of course)

The whole election cycle wrecked me physically. Food isn't for nourishment anymore.

Be patient w/yourself, it'll get better, improvement is not all uphill, it's good days & bad days. It sucks, but you'll get there.

Thank you both for talking about this. I’m still struggling to figure out how.
-
I keep telling myself I’m fine; it’s my stomach being sensitive. I have difficulty admitting that may stem from anxiety.
-
Beyond that, I have trouble understanding that it is a problem no matter the cause.
