Thanks, Macy. I'm trying to force myself to, but won't lie, it's kind of a psychological game that I'm not necessarily winning at the moment. I'm 5'8" and have been about 140 lbs my whole adult life, but am down to about 120 lbs now. So objectively I know you're absolutely right, I'm not doing myself any favors by not eating. Now it's just a matter of overcoming my fear... I'm working on that part, and it helps a lot to hear from yourself and others who have gone through the same before -- thank you for that!
