Q: Complete Loss of Appetite
asked by: hayleyh5 on October 5th, 2005

Hi everybody. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas what might cause you to lose your appetite. I'm finding it so hard to eat, if it wasnt for my mum keeping her beady eye on me, i'd probably not bother. At the moment I dont have breakfast or lunch, just a small dinner. I do eat fruit and drink lots but these are a poor substitute for proper meals! I have autoimmune thyroid disease but my thyroid is functioning on well its own right now and has been for the last 3 months. I normally have such a good appetite and demolish meals! Its bizarre but i'm losing weight. I've spoken to my gp but they dont really want to know. So far i've lost about two stone (over about 6 months). People are starting to notice, and I am getting bored with forcing myself to eat. Any help much appreciated. :)

I'm not sure what a gp is, i'm never good with abbreviations. What you're going through right now is not a good thing, even if you don't want to eat, you have to get the right nutrients in your body. I really suggest going to find someone who can help you out with this, because not eating or not wanting to eat is a serious problem.

Not Wanting to Eat Help
I feel that I don't want to eat either its not that I have a problem with my weight and I am skinny and I know I should be eating. But I don't know why I can't eat I feel I can go a whole day without eating and I don't understand why I find forcing myself to eat, but I feel sick. Whats wrong?

If you dont eat like you should and not eat at all sometimes it makes it harder for u to eat something when u know u should. Sometimes I have that problem, just the sight of food makes me sick. I usually just try to eat slowly and build back up to eating right, but thats me. Hopefully it will help.

Form Habits
I have a very crazy schedule with school and work and each day is different for eating times. I have found that since this has happened I do not feel like eating all the time and sort of get used to the idea, and my stomach does too. This is also kind of like when I was younger and never ate breakfast before school. I physically felt sick if I ate breakfast. What I did is I slowly increased food intake in the morning until I could eat a good meal size for breakfast without feeling sick. Same thing for all meals. You need to time meals and set up a plan to build up the amounts of food you eat. Start small like a piece of fruit or toast and build up to meals. This has worked for me, and in my current situation I know that I have a sparratic schedule and I need to make sure I fit in proper meals!
