I have the same issue too. I don’t have time to eat and i struggle for the want to eat. I usually don’t eat a lot and I am upset with that. I relate to the dinner so much. Something that helped me pushed to eat was using an app the helped me count my calories. I got see what I ate and it helped me plan out the calories I needed (I would eat 3000 at one point hurray). I stopped so I’m back to point one. But it is very useful to plan your meals. Try having peanut butter to eat with your breakfast and cereal. Just mix or dip your mini wheats into the peanut butter and drink all of the milk in your bowl. I always found it easier to drink milk after my meal. Buy some snacks to snack on during the day when you are hungry. Set some timers. I am sorry but if you feel like you can’t take anymore bites, you have to. Force yourself to. Eventually you will get used to eating more and more. I at one point would gag if I ate too much. Good luck (: I gained about 4 pounds doing this! I used LifeSum. I love it a lot! Please be safe,, take breaks eating if it’s too much. We will be right here with you. You’re not alone.?

I don’t know, I used to love eating, fruits, vegetables, pizza anything. Now I’m hungry but nothing, including fruit or really anything looks good and I don’t want to eat, so I don’t. I need to be eating as well, as I am doing ballet and conditioning everyday. I don’t eat breakfast and I hardly have anything for lunch, maybe a muffin or sandwich, sometimes nothing, but that’s it. For dinner I hardly eat at all because I don’t want to. I know I need to eat but can’t seem to make myself. All I ate today was cereal and a quarter of what my mom made for dinner. Frosted mini wheats with milk is the only thing I can bring myself to eat and it’s really frustrating, because I’m hungry but can’t bring myself to eat. I have had some minor issues with loss of appetite, if that is what this is, but I was always able to find something to eat for every meal. A while back about two years, I had severe emetephobia and wouldn’t eat anything, and I got used to it, and I was probably 20lbs underweight and working out for 3+ hours a day. I really hope that I am not going back to this because it was awful. Thank you for taking the time to read this, this was very long and all over the place.

Lately I have been struggling with binge eating in an odd way I haven’t experienced before. I have been eating a bunch more each night because “it could be my last meal” and I’m not sure how to break the cycle. I’m not hungry, but I force myself because my brain is telling me I’ll never get to experience that again. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Does any one else struggle with eating when on a ocd spiral ( that’s what I call them ) I go through periods where I can’t stand the feeling of food in my body but idk I smoke weed and that helps the thought to go purge everything I don’t know if that’s my ocd or a eating disorder 🫠
