    Babe flavor your water with Crystal light or something and have a protein shake/bar. I know the chronic migraine/depression life and it helps to start somewhere even if it’s ultra simple if you can manage it.

    Take your pain meds with your Cheetos and pair it with hummus or sour cream for some extra calories and decent fat to line your tummy. Hope you feel better soon 🩵

      Switching over to healthier snack foods, as you suggest, was a big help for me as well.

      For example, I managed to wean myself off of potato chip style snacks by replacing with trail mix.

      Obviously this will not work (at all, or as well) if you have some kind of nut allergy…

      But for me, you’re getting the salt, you’re getting the crunch… you’re getting way way more calories per volume, so you don’t need as much, it actually fills your stomach… and you’re getting protein and other nutrients, as well as maybe a bit of fiber if it includes like raisins or maybe chex pieces or something.

      The downside to a straight switch to trail mix is that you will now literally shit bricks.

      So, pair it with some real, actual fiber, a salad made from a mix of veggies, baby carrots, celery if you are a rabbit / masochist… or even maybe metamucil or some kind of fiber supplement mixed in with your drink flavoring or what not, maybe get a blender or bullet type mini mixer, and make some smoothies.

      I also switched over from uh, like little debbie cake type things… to just muffins.

      A muffin is a dessert, more or less, is how I began to teat them, a minature cake.

      Most grocery stores have a bakery that makes some on site, also same with a deli or whatever, that may make sandwiches or some kind of refrigerator (not frozen) safe microwaveable meal… these will often be more freshly made, less hyper processed, and not too much more expensive than a frozen meal from the same store, sometimes even cheaper than some brands.

      Anyway, yeah, hummus is also a great suggestion to pair with munching on many kinds of affordable veggies =D

      I personally just tend to not like its taste… that often, that regularly.
