should I be worried about this?

Well people always tell me to eat but it's just that, I don't like food at all. I hate the taste, how it feels in my mouth and stomach, the way it smells, the way it looks even. I don't see the appeal. I don't get why I should want to eat it. And after I eat I always regret it, and wish never had done it in the first place. And I like the way it feels when I haven't eaten for like a day, it's calming. Similar to like I don't know... yawning. Or like how stretching feels when you've just woken in the morning. I'd love to go days without eating but my parents would freak. Which I'd rather avoid. But yeah, is this a problem? Should I try go in the opposite direction or is it just fine?
I mean I don't want to be super thin like people with anorexia I just don't like food.

I would most certainly say this is a problem. It appears to me that you do have some form of an eating disorder--do keep in mind that there are other eating disorders than just anorexia or bulimia, those are just the most common. If you aren't eating, then that is a problem--regardless of the reason behind it, it is unhealthy and harmful to your body. Also, the pleasure you get our of hunger indicates to me at the very least the psychological aspect of an eating disorder. I'm not entirely sure of what one you would be diagnosed with, but I would try and at least eat some every day. Maybe even try seeing a therapist, to try and figure out if there is anything more you can do so that maybe you can actually come to like food, or at least be able to tolerate it more.

Thanks for replying.:) I've been thinking and I'm pretty sure I should mention this to someone I'm just gonna take a few days and not think about food, I've got it planned out, and I'm sure I'll be fine then later.

I kind of get how you feel. My parents and a lot of my friends are really into food, and like to have big meals, eat out, etc. I just don't get excited about it like them. I'm not at the point you are, where I feel really put off by food (though seeing a huge meal does kind of make me feel sick) but I wish there wasn't this whole 'three meals a day' thing, and we could just wait until we're hungry and then eat until we aren't and continue with our lives.
