    I would recommend eating some food when you go to the Mexican place, and trying not to feel guilty about eating real food. Try not to look at food as being bad or good, just try to eat a well balanced diet, get all the nutrients you need, and enjoy what you eat. If you are really struggling with those feelings, it might be worth talking to a professional who can help you. Being afraid of food is not healthy.
  • drama and attention seeking. Sigh.

    simple.. grab something and eat it.

    even i will go through a drive through and grab a salad if i haven't eaten all day (and I'm totally against fast food)

    Stop at a convenience store and grab some fruit and hard boiled egg.. many of them have salads.. take 5 minutes and eat??

    Why can't you eat late? I eat after 9p and 10p all the time.. if it's healthy you'll be fine

    Get a taco salad and don't eat the shell

    Going into a Mexican restaurant hungry is a torturous disaster for me. Even if I leave my wallet in the car I'll still eat the chips..

    You're setting yourself up for a binge!

    What exactly do you want here? You are making excuses for reasons to not eat. You have the same opportunities as the rest of us to eat. You skipped lunch and you won't eat late.....just eat food.
  • stop being so idiotic.

    if you dont eat, your body will just store your body fat because if thinks its going to need it, and from the sounds of it, it will.

    see a doctor, you seem to have a mental problem with food

    This! You really should eat properly though and plan your meals so you dont have a panic when you dont have time to eat.

    grab a piece of fruit and/or veggie...when you go out with your friends tonight eat a nice taco salad (salsa makes an excellent "dressing" that is low in calories) I'd also urge you to seek help from a therapist and/or doctor to talk about your unhealthy relationship with food. Food is not good or bad...it shouldn't cause you to have anxiety. And I'm taking a wild guess here but stay away from pro ana sites!

    My advice take control of your eating?

    If you do not find time to eat then this is down to you and nobody else?

    If you are suffering from anxiety around food then seek help.

    Wow it's kind of amazing how rude and unsupportive so many people are on here. Also, a lot of people who need to educate themselves on these topics before throwing out random, insolent responses.

    Luckily for you, if it's fresh, actual mexican food there are a lot of healthy options that will fill you. Remember, you've only had 230 calories today, so you have a lot of lean room! And you should be coming close to your recommended intake every day.

    Just get something with lots of veggies (beans are great! filling and nutritious) and not fried. Also, fresh salsa for the win.
  • No. Im not. I was hopeing for some suggestions from KIND people, not to be bullied.

    So all FOUR of your posts are about how little you eat and how crappy you feel, but when people suggest to eat more and give you honest advice you just go start a new thread about how little you eat and don't even respond to the other threads. I'm really not sure what your motive is here, but honestly seeking help sure isn't it...

    Do you want people to pat you on the back and say "good for you!". This is a fitness site, not a pro-eating-disorder site. Eat something. Get a protein bar, or a healthy muffin. Skipping meals is not healthy and will only lead you to binge. You're better off eating small meals throughout the day.

    Actually I don;t care if you have that taco or not. But the shutting up .. that's pretty key.

    Wow, regardless of if this is a troll or not do you know how much mental damage you could be doing to someone with the eating disorder right now? Jesus.

    This is a site for SUPPORT and people talk about food related issues/mental relation to food all the time. So this person should just NOT seek support advice? We should just tell them to screw off because they have a mental disorder?

    Disgusting.
  • Thank you for the people giving good suggestions, amd to the people being rude im sorry you feel the need to be so mean. Ive never been in a situation like this. And i post my problems on here because my family doesnt understand.

    Yes to this ^^^, you ate 250 calories today so, you probably have 1,000+ left over for the day. Holy cow! That means you could eat almost anything and still fall within your calorie allotment for the day. Enjoy dinner!

    You're going to a Mexican restaurant, how are you struggling with how to get a meal in? Just choose the healthiest entree option you can find.

    I see this post, this is a typical troll only ask for help if you really need it.

    People on this site can be very rude. I just started trying to use these boards for support a few days ago like OP and have been appalled by some of the responses that frequent users give.

    The OP is seeking help because they know they have a problem and want someone to reassure them. That is the purpose of this post. Not to "troll". As a previous comment mentioned, yes, OP is "seeking attention": THEY WANT HELP AND REASSURANCE. Have you never wanted support in a tough time?

    In response to the original comment, I think you should take a step back, relax, and try to think about the bigger picture. Don't listen to insensitive, negative comments. It's a good thing that you're reaching out for help. When you get too wrapped up in calorie counting and weight loss, it's easy to go off the deep end occasionally and dip into some extreme behavior. Just keep telling yourself that your health and physical well being are what matters the most, and that undereating will only stall your metabolism and cause complications. Eat a healthy snack as soon as possible, and eat something healthy but filling while you' re out with your friends. What good is weight loss if you can't even enjoy your daily life because of it?

    Good luck and I hope everything works out for you. You can always seek out a counselor if you feel that this is a reoccurring issue that you don't have much control over.

    There must be something healthy at the mexican place. Dont put yourself through only drinking water whilst all your mates eat yummy food whilst your practically starving. If your anxious about eating junk, go for a healthier option or ask the waiter to put half your meal to go in a paper bag, so you dont have to worry about skipping lunch the next day. You must understand skipping meals on a long term basis will not give you a strong, toned and healthy body, or mind for that matter.
    Good luck though :)

    Well doll, I've been through a rigamarole of mental and eating disorders. Being healthy is difficult for some people (we probably wouldn't have this site if it were easy). I actually have been sitting at home with only junk food in my house (my mother's) and forgot to eat since breakfast. Easy solution, cooked up a nice healthy meal with a balance of nutrients!

    There are some people who literally cannot even see food without an anxiety attack. EDUCATE YOURSELF and stop the ignorance and cruelty.
