    Support doesn't always mean positive reinforcement. The truth might not be what you want to hear but the IS supportive because it's offering up reality not sunshine and rainbows for the sake of blowing smoke up your *kitten* so you don't feel bad.

    1000-1400 calories, is that just what you're eating while you're sick? Because with that and all the walking you're doing your body has nothing to run on never mind heal and that will only prolong the healing period. It will also increase cortisol from the stress on your body and the stress you are putting on yourself panicking over 5lbs of water. It's all counterproductive.

    Sugar is sugar, in fruit or honey.

    Too true! However, a teaspoon of honey feels really good on a sore throat and has natural antibacterial properties. It's as good as a throat lozenge!

    Isn't only manuka honey that has the anti-bacterial properties? Hence it being eye wateringly expensive. And I'll take the numbing lozenge over the honey but honey is delicious.

    Yes when not sick I eat 1500-1600. :P and it doesnt matter. I didnt ask for any reinforcement. First of all, by reassuring or hearing familiar stories it HELPS me not end up undereating or binging although right now I couldnt binge anyway. lol. Too much pain. But the point is it helps and sitting there analyzing me makes it worse and tbh pushes me and many people with an ED back to it. It's rude and this website specifically says you're not a dr don't judge, diagnose, give medical advice, etc. I didnt ask for advice on that topic or to be told I have "issues" which really we all do and it's not the point of this post.

    I actually dont eat much sugar of any kind :/ unless it's in my carbs... Today I had one fiber bar (lemon flavor) and it has been sitting in my fridge for like a month or two lol because I just dont eat sugar much. Im more of a salt fiend. And I strongly dislike most fresh fruit. I know, some vegetarian I am. Lol.
