Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Julia, I send you hugs. You really sound like you're struggling. Indeed, you sound beyond tired and overwhelmed.

Are there any treats you can keep handy? Some soy ice cream or tofutti cuties? Can you keep some quick-fix meals stashed in the freezer? Maybe some veggie burgers? Soups?
(I'm becoming a split pea soup nazi, lately!) Sweet potatoes are really fast and combine well with beans for a filling/quick meal. If you have a rice steamer, you can have great (and interesting)(and cheap) eats in less than 20 minutes--trust me, I live on basmati rice or quinoa and beans and greens. Maybe you could try having half a peanutbutter or almond butter sandwich for a snack?

I pray that you find the self-love and motivation to be the difference, to make the difference in your life. You seem to display such detachment, helplessness and apathy. Don't give up! You're worth the effort. It's all a part of growing up, which you cannot avoid through disordered eating.

Kate.
