I've had weight issues my whole life, now 63. When I was diagnosed with CHF in 2018, immediately went to Google and read, on average once diagnosed it said 5 years was average life span. I thought crap, I'm gonna eat whatever I want, my EF kept dropping 5% every echogram, but then 6 Mos ago it increased 5 %, had a long talk with doc, finally a heart to heart talk, since that talk I've now lost 32 pounds, I feel better, shortness of breathe seems better obviously with weight loss and it feels good eating fruits and veggies again, I had forgotten how good they taste. Why eating whatever and all I wanted I was getting this horrible skin rash on my hands and I'd develop these fat pads between my knuckles. Dr told me that was inflammation, since making and being more aware of food choices it made me feel better, and my body is treating me much better. Good luck😇 everyone, hugs.

I see this is an older post? But have to ask you is you are exercising? walking? doing other things to improve health?...meaning food is not the only issues you think? The answer to the one.... re:not care what you eat or at the very least it's not helping with your heart issues is .....You Will When You Feel You Are Worth it...maybe ask yourself why you feel it doesn't matter & find out why..go from there......peace & self-love.

I use to eat lean everything, no pasta, watched my sodium intake, no pasta or breads for two years. Still could not control my diabetes. After 2 years and doing a lot of research on my own. I educated the Nutritionist. Ate whole wheat pasta, ate sourdough or wheat bread more veggies and fruit. I would have a weekly cheat day and have a hamburger and fries or a steak and bake potato. Now because of my past illness and lost 60 pounds, now I eat everything I can get my hands on to maintain my weight. Well in moderation. It's a fine line to maintain my weight and control my diabetes. I enjoy food more than ever. I also do 90% of the cooking. Oh, I forgot! I had 5 bypasses 16 years ago and next month I will celebrate 1 1/2 years Non-terminal!!!

It is almost impossible for me too. I find its easier eliminating the bad food one at a time. A month later another. We will get there. We have to be kind to ourselves. Good luck and prayers.

I find myself being not very hungry at times,but I try to eat something even if it’s just a small snack or a bowl of soup because it’s fuel for your body and your stomach is working all the time so it must have some food to keep your digestive system working properly,I usually feel a be more content after some food,but try to eat something even if it’s only small but regular,hope this helps
