I don't know where to post this, so I'm posting it here.

I need to gain some weight because I'm borderline anorexic. But I can't afford much more than bread, potatoes, eggs and cheese, That is my diet. And I hate eating it. It's the only thing I can stomach that is cheap, but I hate it. I don't want to eat eggs and potatoes for the rest of my life. I would rather die of malnutrition, like I am currently doing.

I have no appetite, but that is a symptom of something else. Ideally, there is a way to gain weight while eating less mass. Something calorie dense.

I might be slightly exaggerating. But for the last couple of years I've been eating potatoes and eggs for almost every single meal of the day. And yes, I eat one warm meal a day. Sometimes I suppliment with some bread to stop the hunger pains. Sometimes I also eat a piece of vegetable.

Nicotine and Metabolism

I've known people in shockingly similar situations that turned their life around by quitting smoking. Mostly from money savings, weight gains, and they, eventually (after withdrawal symptoms went away), got a lot less irritable and felt sick less often.

    That is objectively good advice. I cannot fathom even attempting it.

    Like, I have two things to live for, and smoking is the only one that doesn't make me feel ashamed.
