Didn't eat enough today...really struggling with school stress right now. Tomorrow, I'm going to focus on getting more calories and nutrients in.
*soy coffee, frozen buckwheat waffle with vegan "butter" and organic raspberries
*2 organic ginger cookies
*chicken taco with salsa and avocado
*a few spoonfuls of Rice Dream frozen dessert
Hope everyone had a good day!

You sound so worn out and stressed out. I send hugs!!!
Is it possible to stock up on some safe quick-fixes so lack of time or energy to whip up food or get food is an option?
There are so many safe/quick organic vegan things! What happend to all the beans and greens and quinoa you were into? I'm really worried about you! You need nutrients, a.s.a.p. so you don't burn out!
Wishing you balance and courage,
Kate.

Kate,
So great to hear from you...I've been wondering where you've been. 
Thanks so much for your hugs and words of encouragement...it is definitely a difficult time for me right now, and I am stretched pretty thin emotionally and physically. It has been so hard to keep up my food intake, not necessarily just because of lack of time or energy, but because of the anxiety I experience around eating, which stems from dealing with the combination of Type 1 diabetes, IBS, and an eating disorder (which I still struggle with, despite myself)...sometimes I feel like it's just easier not to eat and save myself the physical and emotional pain I feel when I do...but I KNOW I need to nourish and nurture myself. I've been going to ED support groups and seeing my therapist again, as well as a nutritionist who specializes in eating disorders, and also works with digestive disorders. In our first session, she gave me the URL for Heather's website!
I have been carrying safe stuff with me to school, which helps ease my anxiety during the day...when I'm at home, though, I haven't felt much like cooking. One thing I've been experimenting with is making protein shakes and smoothies to get some extra calories and nutrients in. I am sure I will keep getting better as I continue to get treatment and experiment with finding ways to take care of myself...I'm just going through kind of a rough patch right now.
Anyway, thanks again for your concern and well-wishes. I hope everything is going wonderfully for you right now...how is your quest for balance and stability going? I'd love to hear from you about what's working for you at the moment...
Take care,
--------------------
