Alright, I don't have any eating disorder. (That I know of) However I NEVER have a appetite. Maybe, just maybe once a month will I eat a good sized meal 3 times a day. For years I eat one meal a day (usually junk food, like taco bell, arby's, mc donalds, etc). Now, my thing is, I'd eat more if I was hungry.. But I never am, I'm 5'10 and weigh like 115 pounds give or take a few. I don't know if it's a psychological thing or just my metabolism. I don't want to go to a Dr because the last one I talked to try to convince me to go to rehab and insisted that I'm in denial. I don't think I have a eating disorder.. Anyone else like this?

Are you trying to lose weight or do you think you're fat?

No. I know I'm skinny and underweight. I don't want to gain fat, i want to gain muscle, but for whatever reason I have no appetite. Been like this for a few years now.

Then it doesn't sound like an eating disorder. It sounds like some form of anorexia. Not anorexia nervosa, the eating disorder, just plain old anorexia, which is a medical condition where you lose your appetite. I am not a doctor, so I can't diagnose you, nor will I claim to be knowledgable in that area of expertise. I'm just speaking from my thoughts and my opinions. In all honesty, I'd suggest you go back to a doctor. Make it blatantly clear that you have to appetite. They might be able to help you.
