Grazing
To cut a long story short, I make myself throw up after meals but I'm in recovery for my anorexia. I was wondering though, are there any breakfasts especially high in protein that I can just nibble at? My dietician said fruit's the easiest for me because it can just be chopped up, but it's too many carbs. Any suggestions…

To the men; is sex really such a deal breaker?
Would you start a relationship or stay in it, if your partner didn't want to have sex with you? What I mean when I say this is if they had old fashioned values, as in they wanted until their wedding night, that sort of thing? I'm christian and actually pretty old fashioned when it comes to this sort of thing, so I want to…

Bread, pasta, rice, potato replacement?
Does anyone have any good replacements to any of these? It's not the calorie count, I'm trying to up my calories but today I realised just how ill I feel after eating bread. It was wholemeal so please don't suggest switching to brown or wholemeal for any of these, it doesn't help my condition. Thanks in advance.

Advice?
My body is really weird when it comes to food. I eat, and five minutes later I'm really sleepy and don't have any energy. It happens with anything I eat. My old diet: fresh fruit and vegetables only. way over the recommended 'five a day' guideline. I'd have a sugar free redbull every morning and that'd sort me out. Aside…

Feeling really faint, why?
Okay so to cut a long story short, I have suffered with anorexia for almost fourteen years now. I've had periods of recovery but always relapsed.
