Bad Diet

Matt
over 1 year ago

I don't know how to improve my diet. I only eat and drink sweet sugary things. The healthy stuff always tastes and smells wrong. I know the problem, but I don't know how to get around it.

Whenever I try new stuff my stomach hurts. It hurts anyway, usually aching or sharp pains even without food. I get a lot of burping and it always feels firm and tight. Going to the toilet is ok, hurts sometimes but I'm always getting yellow mucus. I practically live on antacids to ease this. And my stomach feels hungry a lot despite that I'm eating sweets throughout the day.

I'm guessing my poor diet is behind this? 

I keep fit. Do a lot of workouts and sport but my food and drink is all the wrong stuff. I just don't like anything else, I've always been like this with my diet.

I've thought of calling doctor's but it's not worth the emotional and mental strain. I can do phonecalls no problem but actually going to be checked out and have tests is now impossible. My anxiety explodes like a great big bomb and I'm destroyed, it can take months to recover from one appointment, if not longer.

I don't think there's acting seriously wrong. The yellow mucus isn't nice but there's no blood, no vomiting, just discomfort and burping. Sometimes nausea but not a lot.

If anyone else has this problem then any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks team. Thumbsup

    I'm obsessed with chocolate and would live on it if I could, but obviously I can't so what I do is add chocolate to all the healthy stuff to make it more palatable. Like, I'll have a healthy bowl of porridge with peanut butter and banana - and melt some chocolate into the porridge. Or I'll buy the healthy cereal with plenty of fibre in it and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Or I'll buy that healthy high protein Icelandic yogurt and again add chocolate chips. If I'm having an apple, I'll have a bit of chocolate too. My family tell me I eat too much chocolate and they're right, but I've found that I can get lots of healthy stuff into my diet if I just add the chocolate too, so I end up getting a lot of nutrients in my day as a result.
