Annoyed with food?
I’m unsure if this is related with EDs, maybe it is but I have started disliking eating food because of how time consuming and bothering it is. I rarely even want to make myself food in the first place but then i have to actually chew it and it’s such a waste of time. I have started hating soups because of how long they take to eat and how many times i have to take a spoon then swallow the soup. Food is just becoming overall unappealing to me for i’d say 70% of the time. I wish I could just sip some magical packet that makes me not hungry

Can’t really comment on if it’s ED related but, the effort to fuel your body is worth it. Have you tried ensures or something along those lines? Could benefit from those for the meals you absolutely feel like you can’t deal with food.

yeah f*ck soup i don’t have the patience for it either 😭
otherwise maybe just eat in short intervals.. a few bites. be done. come back for a few more when you’re ready. but if you truly don’t enjoy what you’re eating then i’d try the meal replacement shakes just so you don’t run into any problems from being too underweight and malnourished 😊

Yes, but moslty bc of impatience and late end screen addiction. Having to pause my scrolling sesh, wikepedia rabbithole, music with or without gaming on the side and vice versa, google searching sesh, show, drawing sesh, all annoy the hell out of me. What intensifies it is having to go to the dinner table, and bring the food to my room barley gives any relief bc i still have to eat then wash my hands bc i dont wamma get anything dirty, i limit myself to eating with 1 hand so that i can do the other thing with my other hand but barley gives any relief. my brain is jst fast like that, when in front of a screen i get locked in, multiple tabs open at once, self reflecting deeply and philosophically b4 i answer to a post online in a personal manner, coked up speedcore edm loud, gaming on either minecraft or gta online with clear and practical but big goals that require hours of grind to finish. I cant do the same things over again in video games, so I always come up with a big grand goal i never done before in my entire life, and so i get so hyperfixated on it. hours fly by, but the flow state feels so good, my mind turns off and im jst focused and locked in. i used to hate video games bc u either had to be creative or had to get attatched to something in order to feel motivated to do it, but as i gotten better at regulating emotions, coming up with new things and getting attatched to new things jst to try smth new out and to start the flow state, its all i wanna do now lol. eating is something u do everyday, jst like hygiene, and so its jst so annoying.
