Sooo
for the past 2-3 months my diet hasn't been exactly stellar.
I keep eating the same things over and over again and I seem to be eating less and less.
I have absolutely no desire to cook a meal for myself.
Usually it's not too bad ;cause my mum'll cook something for me or I'll eat what she cooks for dinner...
But now that she's gone on a long holiday, I haven't really made any effort to make anything. The thought of eating grosses me out for the most of it.
The only things I still enjoy eating are rice cakes, veggie burgers and oat cakes (just ground oats mixed with water and baked into cookies).
And I'll have a smoothie if I can muster up the effort to make one. For vegetables I'll have eggplants, tomatoes and occasionally zucchini's, roasted in the oven. But I don't always take the effort to fix myself some vegetables, eventhough it's real easy.
I'm trying to add brussels sprouts to my diet as well (next time I go to the shop). When I feel faint I force myself to have some cashews.
And I don't mind eating sponge cake, but 1 cake has 4 eggs... so if I eat an entire cake (in say 10 days), well.. I'd have eaten way too much eggs!
Because I don't see this changing any time soon, I was wondering if it'd be a good idea to add something like a protein shake to my diet ( I have my eye on a tub of vanilla whey protein). 'Cause with the way I'm eating, I doubt I'm getting in enough protein. And taking 1-2 shakes would at least add some calories.
I was also thinking about getting something like spirulina powder to sneak in some extra nutrients to my smoothies, but my main concern is getting the protein shake I suppose, since I'm already taking a multi vitamin.

It's been so long.....
) that said, you seem pretty knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition. I think it's awesome that you are aware that you may
not be getting enough of the right foods and that you're focusing on your health. protein is tough to get in the right amount for me too. are you still
vegan? if you are, i can see how getting enough protein can be a major challenge. maybe powder is a good idea.....wreds might know since she's vegan? or
jam? or g? anyone?? 
Eventhough I loved it so, especially hummus made with avocado.. ever tried that? It's a-mazing.

i don't know about
there, but here all they usually do is write scrips for meds. sounds like you need a good clinical psychologist who can diagnose you properly. it's a shame
you have to wait so long for this.
