How often do you eat?
I thought every 2-3 hours was the reccommended frequency but I'm surprised that most people eat more like every 6 hours! I'm very worried about keeping my metabolism going so I always have snacks on me just in case, haha. Also I feel extremely weak just 3 hours without food. How do you humans do it?!

I have friends who only eat twice a day. I could never do that. Because of restricting, I have a problem where my stomach doesn't empty fast enough, so I get premature feelings of fullness when I have eaten like half a meal. So I eat small meals 6 times a day instead of 3 actual meals.

It really does vary for me. For years at the beginning of my ED, it was once or twice a day. Now (about 12 years into my ED), I find that's not really sustainable. My body just can't go without nourishment that long, and if it does, I feel like absolute hell. I'd say that I currently eat something small, even if it's just a box of raisins or part of a fruit smoothie, at least every 3-4 hours.
now every feeling, it kicks me to the bone
and takes me under to a place that i have known
there goes my quiet life i used to keep me warm
in the shade of this moment, i am born

It varies , but you get used to it. My mom eats 1 meal a day and shes just fine lol
You can never put your life in another persons hands . Why you ask? Because humans are not perfect , eventually in one way or another they will let you down ; its not sad it just is. I only I am the master of my domain , wherever I am now I put myself here.

It varies. Either once or twice a day mostly.
I'm trying to do 6 meals a day. I did it for a while once and it fitted in with my lifestyle.

every 4-6 hours, depends on what I am doing and where I am, I can go about 8-9 hours between eating and thats not when I am sleeping lol

Varies, very much due to my fucking incompetent brain (sorry, this was a bit of rant, I'm aware that many people have similar problem).
At times when I try and succed to eat every 3-ish hours I'm doing best on my recovery.~If you place a thing in the center of your life, that lacks a power to nourish,
it will eventually poison everything that you are
and destroy you...
No one can be the source of your content. It lies within, in the Center.~

I mostly eat once a day. I do not eat breakfast or lunch, but once in a while I might have lunch and if I do that means I can't eat again, because my one meal a day or every other day is supposed to be dinner. It's too hard to eat more than once in any given day, but I have had days where I have eaten more. As a person who is a Recovering Anorexic I am trying to eat more than once, but the guilt is too strong on me, but I still persevere nevertheless.
Contradiction.

Rational & Irrational.
It is a Contradiction.

I eat once a day because I can't handle anything more
