Eating Rant (trigger warning: eating habbits)

Ever since I was a teenager i’ve struggled with eating and binge eating. i already struggle to find safe options as a veggie who can’t have dairy and extremely picky and fussy with foods because of tastes and textures. Lately ive been really struggling with eating fruit and veg, or even just proper meals. I keep having cereal or getting mcdonald’s chips. i hate that my safe foods are so unhealthy and bad. I know having fruit or veg can be easy and low effort but i feel like once i work up the motivation to eat, i want something that i actually like the taste of and more filling than just a small snack or fruit or veg. i barely ever have the energy to prepare proper meals so takeaways are such an accessible option but also so unhealthy as it builds up and almost everyday i’m getting takeaways or having bad snack foods. i hate that im like this. even if my mum would prepare me a healthy proper meal i can’t eat it. i can’t bare the thought of chewing certain foods as well as the smell from preparing them and the way it lingers afterwards. 

im sorry for the rant i just feel so frustrated with myself.
