you can go to whole foods and get them. Or a juice bar, but it can be expensive. Best to do it yourself.
Will you provide a little background info please. Why do they think you need a FT? Why do they think you have been in "starvation mode" for a long time?
Cathy I wish you the best with the challenges with your son. Mine went through a rough and rocky stretch from age 17-20 especially. Somehow his life has landed in a good spot. I prayed for a long long time for him to have a safe landing.
As for the eating, what I see in your posts is a great level of awareness. We know the term "mindful eating" - and at least we can be "mindful" of when we are overly emotional (which is probably un-mindful). If we are aware, we can prepare to make different choices.
So maybe it goes something like this.
Be aware.
Prepare for the difficult moments.
When you need to eat - eat the better option FIRST.
Don't mentally rule out the poorer choice - just tell yourself you will WAIT on the crackers or whatever it is for you. (for many years, I equated the thought of a food with a compulsion to eat that food. It's not necessarily the case!)
Repeat the cycle....and it's not to say we will NEVER opt for the poorer choice, but we will delay it. And if we eat the better option more often than not, we probably won't physically have room for the bad stuff.
Stream of consciousness here...
