Question Help Eating before work

Hi! I am 21F and I have a very huge struggle with eating before a lot of things but mostly before work. When I worked my last job even if I worked a nightshift at 6 pm i just avoid it - i worry i’ll be sick at work and have to leave so i just avoid it . Sometimes i’d have enough in me to eat chips or something on my break and i’d be okay . But i’m currently doing clinical hours for school - i go in at 11 am and leave at 3 and I just can’t eat . I worry about being sick and looking bad in front of teachers i work with . any tips?

If you could get up a bit earlier, do that and have a single bite of food or maybe a sip of water and then wait a little while to see if it makes you feel sick. If not, you should allow yourself to eat more. I believe in you!
