not sure if there's somthing wrong...

[htmlrulezd00d]

So, basically, I don't know if I have some kind of disorder or I just don't like eating or what it is.
But, I find excuses not to eat breakfast and lunch, and I also lie about eating. But at night I eat dinner and like... a bunch of stuff before bed. So I'm trying to decide what my problem is and why I can't bring myself to eat during the day. And it's not that I'm hungry and I don't eat, I'm just never hungry until I actually start eating.
So I guess I also can't tell when I'm hungry anymore. I don't know, I'm just confused about it.

yeah, i feel the same way some days. but other times i need to eat constantly in school.
it's so confusing.

I think its cus i completley binge on food from after school till i go to bed so maybe im still full from the night before?
I dunno
Lol aslong as you eat when youre hungry, then you sound healthy enough ^^

You've probably just gotten into the habit of eating later. Lying about eating in your situation probably isn't a problem because you're probably doing it to keep parents and such from nagging you "Why didn't you eat breakfast?!?"

Although you don't have a disorder it's not very healthy to only eat during the later half of the day. Your body functions a lot better when it has a constant supply of energy throughout the day. If I were you I would try to get into the habit of eating SOMETHING for breakfast, even if it is just a piece of fruit or a poptart or something, and SOMETHING for lunch just because three meals is better for your body than just one.

It doesn't sound like an eating disorder to me.
Do you think that you are fat?
Would you eat if you where hungry?
When you have an eating disorder you can't eat without feeling guilty, because you believe you are not good enough the size you are and you starve yourself even if you are hungry.

Well, good, as long as I don't have a serious problem.. makes me feel better.

I'm kinda late on throwing my two cents in, but there is a medical condition called anorexia, which is different from anorexia nervosa, that causes you to not be hungry. I'm not saying that you have it, because I honestly don't know much about it, but maybe you should think about talking to your doctor or something.

I have the same thing. Im never hungry until I start eating. Then you cant stop me! Haha

The thing with being anorexic is that the person itself causes it. People with this dont eat for a vast majority of reasons. Usually its to get skinnier. Thats why some of the best models are sadly anorexic, but for example if you cannot eat you can become anorexic and its not caused intentionally. Although good guess!

That's anorexia nervosa. It's a mental disorder whereas just plain old anorexia, like I'm talking about, is physical and you're just not hungry.

Believe me, I know all about anorexia nervosa.

Well anorexia itself is just a symptom sooo...

As Amanda said, anorexia and anorexia nervosa are two different illnesses.
Anorexia nervosa is a mental disorder in which a person stops eating to acheive a goal... usually to become thinner. The person becomes obsessed by eating as little as possible.
In Anorexia, a person is not hungry and therefore does not eat.
