Remembering to eat independently

Basically I forget to eat because I don't really feel hunger cues. This has led to large amounts of weight loss in a short space of time in the past. After the last quite scary one my parents set up a system where if they realise I'm not eating they remind me and if I'm in the middle of a distracting thing they'll pester me/help me prepare food.

I'm going to uni in two weeks and I have been trying to find resources to help me set up a plan to remember to eat without the parents there to take notice but have thus far found zilch. It's all either about weight loss plans, not what I need, or about stuff like anorexia and how to cope with difficult emotions enough to eat, quite a lot of which is about distraction which is the last thing I need. I can't go to my GP as far as I'm aware as this is pre-emptive and. as far as I can tell, all referrals in the NHS have severity/effect on life criteria which I don't yet meet and would rather avoid meeting. A private consultation with a dietician is also probably not in my budget

Any advice, resources, plans or techniques that work for you. Literally anything welcome, I'm desperate.

  • It’s perhaps too obvious to state - but presumably you’ve considered setting reminders/alarms on your phone or tablet? And also if you have any snacks that you really like just having lots of these readily available and visible in your room will remind you/tempt you to eat? 
    But I think having a regular routine that you stick to is probably the best answer to this.
