Re: Eating lunch at school (Elisabeth)

[Guest guest]

Hi Elisabeth

I never used to eat at school either. At home i barely ate, my

parents could get met to eat some by talking to me, but at school I

also ate nothing at all. It wasn't that I was stubborn or something,

I had a very tight throat so only very small sliced peaces of bread

could go through it. It took till my two years to find that out,

then they fixed it with an operation.

A couple of years back I had a back-brace because of the scoliose I

have from RSS. I couldn't eat to much back then because my stommach

couldn't grow because of the brace. So now I still eat very little

and not if i don't have to. Drinking is even worse, it gives me a

full feeling, I drink way too less. So food and drinks is a disaster

with me, it has very much to do with RSS.

Love, Amy (18 years old)
