My struggles with food have, unfortunately, intensified.
My pain clinic nurse told me that she’s starting to worry. My work colleagues now remark on how thin I look and how, if I stand sideways, they can barely see me; how my clothes hang on me..
I’ve lost 29 lb now. Not much by many standards but when you’re a tall, rather gangly individual with a long body, long arms and legs and broad shoulders and you were never “big” then, apparently, it shows enough to worry people.
I was asked how much weight I would lose. I said I didn’t know. I was honest and said that food doesn’t really interest me now. I went shopping today and haven’t purchased a single item for breakfast or my work lunches next week. There’s simply nothing I could eat that I want to eat.
I’ve looked at websites and read a hundred recipes, I’ve even made cookies but I have no motivation to make stuff that I know I’m not really interested in eating.
It’s become an issue and now people are noticing I suppose I need the help.
But the sense of failure and not knowing where I am going with this is quite overwhelming.
