    Eating 2 meals a day instead of only one in the evening.

    I’ve been working irregular shifts since 20 years and eating my daily calories in one evening meal. It’s not good, I don’t mind hunger and can ignore it but my body is on survival mode until next meal.

    So I’m starting to have breakfast in the form of homemade smoothies (with everything you need in it) in order to get use to have a breakfast. Next step will be solid food but there’s no rush.

      Wow, impressing. I know some people that eat only once a day, but I never thought it could be bad for them. Are you feeling better now?

        I’m not sure yet, it’s only been a week.

        What I know is that breakfast always been my favourite meal (French… patries and/or baguette with butter and jam) so eating that again would be really good for the moral.

      If you were already good at it you wouldn’t be “trying.” Remember to be kind to yourself. When you finally get to bed, remind yourself that sleeping is an important and valuable task you’re doing, and resting with your eyes closed accomplishes a lot of the same physical repairs so don’t fret if you don’t feel asleep enough.
