    I see protein. Potatoes are surprisingly nutritious. They’re not drowned in ketchup (though that could be off screen I suppose) so you’re not giving yourself the beetus, that I can see.

    I’ve definitely eaten worse.

    If this is the best you can do, then it’s not shitty. Feed yo’self.

    Potato smiles and mystery meat—sometimes survival is a gourmet adventure!

    This the type of food that causes chronic illnesses

    Potato smilies are the food of the gods and I’ll happily fight anyone who disagrees! They’re fluffy little pillows of happiness! I’m severely depressed, neurodivergent, and have some mystery fatigue illness, and I am generally at odds with reality and just existing can be very uncomfortable sometimes

    But these things never fail to make me feel happy! They remind me of when I was a kid and Mum bought them and they always felt like a luxury

    I’m disabled with chronic health issues ect and always keep smiles in the freezer they are the best

    I’m sorry OP.

    I struggle with food sometimes too.

    You’re doing the best you can, that’s enough.

    I genuinely wish you happiness and peace.

    Is it due to fatigue? I am shocked by how much I cannot do because of fatigue. I have always loved naps… not as fun when you don’t have a choice and it’s either nap or pass out and hit the floor.

    This looks like a depression meal fit for kings

    Hey, nothing wrong with this. My autistic ass would devour the whole bowl. Your best is good enough.

  22. toxicblur

  24. wiener_brigade

  25. Dontfeedthebears

    Unfortunately I feel ya, friend. Whatever you can keep down 🩷

  27. Rosenrot_84_

    I’m autistic and that looks like a delicious meal 😁

  29. rexcasei

    Looks pretty tasty to me, just needs some sauce

    If the most you can give is 10%, then it isn’t 10%, it’s your 100% 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🗣️🔥

  31. Shoddy_Asparagus_503

    I don’t have a chronic illness and this is the best even I can do sometimes. We accept and love your meal OP! Hope you enjoy it and the smilies make you smile!

  32. RIPMYPOOPCHUTE

    Looks delicious AF to me. I recently had my gallbladder out and I’m figuring out what I can and cannot eat.

    I thought the meat sticks were chopsticks at first, then I realized they weren’t. Then I realized they still kinda are.

  34. Majestic_Lie_523

    Better than I’m doing. I’m living on milk, bananas, and electrolyte solution.

  35. Eyfordsucks

    I totally feel you. One of the best things I learned was a therapist telling another Redditor that if they don’t have the capacity to make a meal you can always just eat the ingredients separately.

    To clarify: There is no rule saying you have to make a sandwich to be allowed to eat. You can totally just eat some bread or a handful of cheese or deli meat. You are allowed to do what’s necessary to accommodate your disability/ chronic illness.

    I’m proud of you OP.

    I think my wife has the same chronic illness but I feel like maybe our chronic illness would get better if we didn’t eat processed food every day. No judgment here as I have a slew of chronic health conditions

  37. Financial-Opinion334

    Hey,it may not be the best for you,but it’s still a meal,the point is, you’re eating something,and that’s good

  38. Cloudkicker91

    But you DID IT!!!! Wherever you’re at and whatever your goals are, YOU DID IT!!!! You’re awesome and keep going.

  42. Viivi19

    Smiley potatoes are top tier food and I’ll hear no slander against them. Good job OP.

  43. _commenter

    tell me you’re using the sausages as chopsticks to pick up the smiley tots

  44. Outside-Ad925

    i’m proud of you for putting in the effort, OP!! as someone who’s in the same boat, i know how hellish things can get, and nourished is always best— i hope you enjoy your food! those smiley fries go HARD. just know you’re doing great; sending you symptoms relief wishes ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶ ♥️
