Like An Eating Disorder, But I Dont Wanna Lose Weight.
Posted: 06-19-06 00:07am

I have no idea whats going on with me

let me say something first. I dont wanna lose weight. Im fine with the way I look! Im not depressed either

but, honestly, (i cant even how long this has been going on. Years or months, I dont know. Never paid attention) some days, like maybe 5 times per month, my appetite will dramatically change. Like, I mean, most days I eat normal. I have a normal appetite. But some days, I can never feel full. And some days I could go through the whole day without eating. Im just not hungry. Im not trying to not eat. It just happens. And its odd!

Also, one time, when I was a child like 9 I dont know, I lost my appetite for a whole month or more. I was so young, and I just stopped eating. I lost so much weight and my mother had to force me to eat everyday. I just didnt see anything appetizing about anything. I cant remember if it was depresion or something. I dont remember.

Help me! Isnt this odd????????

This is quite an interesting case. It could be anxiety or maybe just a condition your body has developed..My aunt has this thing when at times her matobolism just speeds up so she feels like she has to eat heaps! Like lots and lots! And then say a month later she has to force herself to eat because she feels full just from a drink of orange juice? Maybe you could have the same thing as her. I would deffinantly see a doctor about this

Yeah the same thing happens to me, but I have (had?) bulimia. My therapist says its the whole binge & purge thing, though...
Could be stress...Talk to a doctor, though.

Hi there! Go into like a gnc store or a health food store and talk to one of the employees there, they have like a weight on instant shake mix and you can add like ice cream fruit or something like that or you can drink it plain, I used to have the same problem. It is also good to get a check up from your Dr.
Good luck to you!

I had this too I think its caused by too much acid in ur stomach unfortunately for me it kinda made me lose weight like the way I looked more then gain it when my appetite came back which led to an eating disorder but originally it was just an appetite thing for me...You may be able to take something for it

I had an eating disorder for years but the thing was, I didn't want to lose weight either. I had people coming up and telling me I was too skinny and I ignored them because I thought I looked normal. I thought I was the same as everyone else. Ive thought over the years and I think its just a form of being in control of yourself, managing what you're eating. I was a very fussy eater when I was younger. Maybe that's what triggered it because I remember as a child, throwing my food away. Im just glad ive got over it and have put on loads of weight. If anyone wants to talk to me about their experiences or people who need help just pm me anytime or email me on roseja ckson03@msn.Com. I hope this helps anyway
