For the last two months, my anxiety has been so awful that I could not eat or drink anything for weeks. I started to eat one egg a day (because that's all I could stomach) and now I am able to eat half of your typical meal at a restaurant. I feel hunger, food smells amazing to me, but when I try to eat I feel so sick to my stomach. I used to be very into the gym, but o have absolutely no strength or energy to be there for longer than half an hour. I also have lost a very good amount of weight which I would not mind keeping off (before I was considered over weight. My doctor says my weight now is great for my height so I am not underweight). I'm scared if I start eating a lot right away, I'll gain all of the weight back quickly, but I also want to be able to feel better as soon as possible. What should I eat? How much a day?

Hi when we don't eat much for a while our stomachs shrink which makes us feel sick when we try to eat a normal amount again. You need to stop trying to eat normal size meals at the moment and concentrate on much smaller ones more frequently. You can also graze eat. Make sure your diet is healthy and in time your stomach will recover x
Start slowly eating more and more.
