IDK if I should tag this? I wanna talk about my eating habits, which are not always the healthiest. If that might be triggering for you, please avoid.
ANYway, a thing I've struggled with on and off for years is just....the basic executive function act of feeding myself? 1/?

It became noticeable around high school age. During the school week I was fine, because I had structure. Once the weekend rolled around, there would be days when I would roll around trying to convince myself I should eat until dinner time, when my mom cooked.
When I described that to GF she said "that.....doesn't sound great for someone with hypoglycemia?"
Me: "NOPE, IT SURE WASN'T."
Guess who passed out from a low blood sugar crash WHILE ON STAGE PERFORMING at age 18!!

I marginally started to get my shit together after that, where I could acknowledge that I at least needed to eat SOMETHING, but on days without structure there would still be moments of "......oh it's 7pm and I've eaten a piece of bread with butter all day, whoops."
The thing is, it's not a problem with the food itself, or with my weight, or anything like that.
It's that food is HARD. I have to get up, and make CHOICES, and sometimes even COOK. It can get overwhelming, and oh look, just drink some water and you can ignore the problem.

I don't know that I have a point to this, other than all these issues I thought were gone are starting to slide back into my life, and I have to be a lot more vigilant.
