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.

Ps. It’s easier to eat if you face things you like (:

I’ve been ignoring the googling urges I get. They’re the strongest urges I feel. I’ve been distracting myself and going on about my life without considering them or ruminating. All for what? I had to go into a public bathroom to have a panic attack that had been building all day. I’m so sleep deprived, so tired. My sisters say I resemble sadness from Inside Out. I believe them. I feel so drained.

I have hold back my tears . I’m trying so hard to play it off. I can’t think about it anything without on the verge of falling apart . I have no self control over my mind . I’m scared. Is this a psychosis . I have barely eaten in days . My stomach is growling but I have no appetite. Idk what’s going on . Normally if I have a rough week I can fight it but I can’t fight it this time. My biggest fear is loosing my bf. I’m spending the day with him and all I can do it think about what’s gonna happen when I leave .
