I'm so afraid of eating. Il buy myself a new safe food and if I like it I can't eat it again because I'm scared Il not be able to stop eating it. I bought some no sugar vimto and it's really nice but now I can't drink even that. All I want to fill me up is coffee with skimmed milk because for me that's ok. Il also eat micro chips because for a box is only 146 Cal's for crinkle cut and Il eat crumpets because they are 99 Cal's. I'm so stressed out

Suggest you need to go to your GP and get some help - it sounds like a problem is really developing - rather than a fear of food it sounds like a fear of calories - its important to see an ED specialist to help you sort out your feelings - especially given the restrictive nature of your diet which is going to cause you nutritional problems and health problems - have you visited the ABC website - there is helpful information there - they also have a support line which might help you.
