EAT! Content Examples

Topic	Options	Examples
Increasing your Appetite	Description	Gradually you start eating more and more as each day goes on. After awhile, you wake up and you’re hungry.
	What to do	My stomach didn’t want too much volume at once; so I’d eat little amounts throughout the day.
Choosing Foods	Description	If I’m not hungry I don’t really want to talk about food. If I can talk about food, then I would know I could eat it.
	What to do	I made a list of all the foods that I really like and then try them whenever I’m hungry.
Nausea and Vomiting	Description	It’s just easier to eat when I start to get hungry… but if I wait awhile after I get hungry then I start to feel nauseous and I can’t eat.
	What to do	Relax and concentrate on your breathing by taking slow deep breaths. I take a couple deep breaths and like, lay my head back, and close my eyes and that usually helps.
Taste Changes	Description	Foods need to have flavor. If you eat bland foods, you won’t want to eat anymore because it takes away your appetite.
	What to do	Use ketchup, barbeque sauce, steak sauce, or anything to add flavor
Dry Mouth	Description	All of a sudden, it’s like my mouth will just get really dry and it feels gross and sticky.
	What to do	I always drink water before I put food in my mouth; it cleans out my mouth and moistens it.
Control of Eating	Description	My dad gives me too much food, so I eat and eat and makes it looks like I didn’t eat anything but really there’s so much there.
	What to do	Take only some food on your own plate because if you see a big portion, you’re like, where am I gonna start?
Returning to Normal	Description	Eating is not the easiest road but it’s the best road to eventual health and getting back to your normal life.
