Food is hard to explain...

[ThatGayishKidFrom98]

I have this thing where the only meal I will eat is lunch. No dinner and breakfast. My favorite foods are looking gross and my lunch portions are getting smaller and smaller, now down to a carton of skim milk, some cucumbers and a tuna fish on wheat...whats going on?

Well if you were a girl and said this I would say your experiencing sympons common to the first trimester of preagnacy, but on a more serious note it sounds Psychological in nature and beyond that without knowing a lot more about you and why you don't enjoy eating it's hard to say whats going on. Just curious does eating foods other than you listed have any physical effects like neausea or is it you just have no appitite? Whatever the reason for this i would see someone about this like to start with your family doctor.

It depends. I could say that I have no appetite often but sometimes food makes me nauseous. I eat, but only once a day and it's like I'm being force fed...and my body seems to want to puke it up sometimes but I'm not bulimic...

Have you been checked out by a doctor to eliminate the possibility of the cause being physical in nature?

If the feelings of not wanting to eat are due to not being hungry, or feeling sick when you eat with no obvious anxiety about eating, then you don't have an eating disorder.

With Anorexia people don't eat because they are scared to put on weight. They often view themselves as "fat" and feel the need too loose weight. They feel extreme guilt when they eat. You're also right in that you do not seem to be bulimic. That would mean forcing yourself to be sick, in order to "purge" yourself of the food.

However it could be of psychological origin. If you're stressed at the moment or worried about something that can decrease your appetite. It usually happens to me when i'm really upset about something. I just feel sick as soon as I eat.

But of course, like others have said, there's the possibility it is physical in nature and if it carries on then maybe you should go to the doctors.

I know it is very hard to get off of this pattern.. I was on it for 3 years
but please please
take a multi vitamin or something similar so you can at least get some more nutrients. It helped me a lot.

In this one puberty book I read it said that teens going through puberty will experience changes in hunger (i.e. feeling really hungry sometimes, feeling nauseous at the thought of food other times). Essentially you just have to force yourself to eat so you don't get any serious medical condition from not eating. And as the poster above said, you should also use a multivitamin. Alternatively, it could be an eating disorder, in which case you should see if there is a psychological precedent.
