WARNING: VERY LONG BUT PLZ READ TILL THE END ..
I do not have an eating disorder nor have any medical training but..I also do not have anywhere near normal eating habits or schedules..I used to love food..I was a cook forever and can cook well its just natural..and I enjoyed it...until around 2009 when physically I wasn't able to cook my way anymore..after 5 successful surgeries I'm better physically but (always a but sry) I also had some dental issues so I fixed that. Got a nice new top teeth and some repairs on the bottom, first time in years I had a full set of teeth haven't had molors since I was a teen, which caused my sinuses to drop lower (didn't know ow that was a thing, but that's why I had to get a denture rather than inplants)..ready to hit the world running..until about 2-3 yrs ago when the top plate started to not fit as well and I had to start using adhesives ... which doesn't mix well with 4 cervical fusions and sinuses that reside in the back of my throat...and in case u weren't aware dentures r extremely expensive my bottoms have shifted and so now I can't wear the partial.. I go days w/o putting teeth in anymore..with or w/o food is always getting caught in my throat so I'm always having to "cough" it up..(sry) so I don't go to restaurants and when I have to go to a family dinner I deal with all those questions u get (again most of the neg. food comments started a few years ago when I became active again and started losing weight...) I could eat 15xs a day and people would still say I don't eat...
HERES THE POINT AND THE MAIN REASON I GIVING MY ADVICE:
I don't lie or make up or exaggerate WHAT OR WHY I have/haven't eaten.. I've actually have had to defend myself, cry, yell ect.. I'm so sick of eating freaking eggs, oatmeal, I've always had a problem with mushy textured food..if I can't chew it makes wanna gag..but I try to make sure I'm getting some protien.
I miss French fries and chips ... steak or any meat..I'm from Baltimore and it's hard to eat 🦀..
Do u miss food?? Do u defend ur rprotein. Do u try to provide protein & carbs & good fats to ur body..
Again no expert but if u answered no to any probably all 3 questions...I BEG U TO TALK TO A DOCTOR...
again sry for an article instead of a simple answer..good luck and keep in touch plz
