Still can't get on track....

I've never had good eating habits, for as long as I can remember. I used to starve myself in high school, until I passed out. Then I started eating a little more, but JUST enough to sustain myself. I told my mom what I did, she didn't really care. She just commented on how I was losing weight. I am 24 now, and I can't seem to get back on track with healthy eating. I was doing good for about a month, but food seems so....tedious to me. I don't even think about it, even while fixing the family dinner, and I'd rather not eat. I don't do it on purpose, I wish I could eat regularly. Sometimes it makes me feel sick, or I have the intention of fixing myself something, and I get busy with the kids and forget I'm even hungry. When I finally get around to it, I can barely eat anything before I'm full.
However, I am MUCH healthier than I was in high school, since I HAD to eat while pregnant, no matter how much I didn't want to. I know I feel this way because I have trained my body to not like food. It used to be that I felt physically sick just TIHNKING about it, but luckily I'm not like that anymore. I just realize I'm hungry at the end of the day when I feel like passing out, and realize that I forgot to eat that day. It gets annoying, because I'm not setting a good example for my kids, even though I have them eat breakfast, a healthy snack, lunch, then a snack, then dinner. Anyone going through the same thing? I guess it takes a while to FULLY recover from an eating disorder, even when you want to stop depriving yourself.

Hi mommieslilangels3, and welcome to the ed board.

I couldn't agree more.
