This has never happened to me before. I suspect it is a result of getting sick, but I have absolutely not been hungry at all in about 3 days. I have eaten, not as much as I should, but still a couple thousand calories daily at least. But it is the damndest thing. I have not eaten in over 12 hours, and if I didn’t consciously remind myself of that, I would probably continue…
Has this ever happened to anyone? it is frustrating, I was making good progress up until a little while ago when I got very sick and could hardly eat, since recovering, I have had a difficult time getting back into the course of eating regularly and sufficiently, and now, I just don’t even feel hungry at all…
I recognize that hunger and need to eat are not entirely related. But it is still disorientating, I feel as though I have lost 10 pounds.

Hmmm. Odd. I’ve had something similar, but not for such a long period. Could it be that you’ve been eating the very same stuff over and over again? This probably doesn’t explain it since a lot of people do just fine by a repetative diet routine.
I have realised during the course of writing this message that it is useless and probably won’t help at all. So I’ll just wish you a speedy apetite and hope it works out.
Hey, it’s no big deal I’m sure. It is only frustrating because like… I’ve always been skinny and I feel like I have put such a good and solid effort into getting bigger( approx. 60 pounds in 3 years) but I’m still skinny on account of being really tall. As a result, it is just kind of heartbreaking to be blasted with this illness, lack of eating, weirdness where I feel like all I am doing is wasting away.
Though, I don’t think I have gotten any weaker in this time, I guess I’m just a little protective about my hard earned mass. haha.
Fortunately no puking. Though I feel I came very close a few times. Well, I managed to force myself to eat about 5000 calories today, despite generally feeling against it. Just paying the dues I guess…
I posted this a while back and I’m sure people think it’s weird but Angostura bitters is a great appetite stimulant. You know, the stuff you put in cocktails. You can just mix it with water.
Getting sick sucks when it messes up your routine, I hope you are feeling better.
