Food is Disgusting
Well, being a 36 year old woman and 99 pounds isn't what i call "lucky".
I am 5feet 5inches tall and i am a rail, I hate food i have no appetite and i look awful. I don't have an eating disorder, I know I'm skinny and i hate it. But, i hate food even more. I realy don't know why this is and i wish there was something medically that could stimulate my appetite.
I have been thin all my life but this is rediculous, everyone said that i wouldn't complain after i hit 35 because my hormones would slow down and i would gain weight, well, I'm still waiting.
Does anyone have the same problem or know someone who has gone through this? If so I'd love to hear from you.
And yes, I am complaining, being underweight is just as hard as being overweight.
How can you hate "all" foods. After all there's all kinds of really good tasting foods.
Perhaps you've got something wrong with your taste buds?
I do get hungry sometimes, but i can go 2 full days without food and then force myself to eat some toast or something, I do crave greasy foods every once in a while. But i pay for it. I have had allergy tests done to see if i had food allergies because that would make sense as to the utter sickness i feel after eating. But it came back unconclusive.
I went to see a shrink, normal.
I'm in the process of having my thyroid checked right now. It's all a mystery.
do not get confused with chinese food, which is completely different!!! if your thyroid gland and other endocrine glands are ok, then maybe you need to see a psychiatrist. don't get me wrong is not like you are crazy, but you might need the help. going to the psychiatrist is NOT being a basket case.
You need nutrition in the form of three balanced meals a day! Have you not heard of the food pyramid?!
One day Dominoes will deliver dope.
i am a female im not fat and im not skinny, but i hate it when women eat salad and alot of healthier foods becasue they thik their fat, for god sake just relax and eat whatever you want to eat at the time you are hungry.
lost your apitite?
call 999 after 24hrs and they will send out a search party.
seek help.
Stop it.
Just....stop!
Are you stupid? Ignorant? Love attention?
Don't bitch about how it's a "disease", instead, bitch about how weak you are to fight it.
I have the same problem and NO ONE understands it! Food just isn't appetizing. I've forgotten to eat for two days as well. I'll forget to eat unless I'm around other people who happen to be eating or who will remind me, or if my stomach starts burning a hole through itself with acid.
I've been underweight my whole life and have been on 3 medications to try to stimulate appetite and nothing has worked. After that, a doctor recommended that I see a specialist. The specialist confirmed that it is in fact NOT anorexia (though it's a misnomer- the medical term for absence of appetite is "anorexia", but in fact anorexics do have an appetite but try to supress it and deny themselves food). The specialist had me wright down what I ate each day and I had to eat a certain number of calories each day.
And honestly, the only thing to EVER give me an appetite was marijuana. I would smoke (maybe once a week or a few times a month), feel hungry, and then eat as much as I could. It is illegal, but I felt like it was worth the risk. I feel like I should be able to enjoy food every so often. It helped me gain 10 pounds. There is an appetite-enhancing medicine called "Marinol" which is made with synthetic THC, but I doubt you'd be able to get a Rx for it...doctors are very worried about prescribing it because of the "pot stigma" and their reputation. Usually it's reserved for cancer and aids patients on their death beds. As for the other medicines I've tried for appetite- Megace, Remeron, and Zyprexa- they all had horrible side effects and I would NOT recommend them at all. In fact, "enhanced appetite and weight gain" are only side effects of these drugs- their main purpose is not for appetite enhancement! Zyprexa is used mainly to trat schitzophrenia, and it made me feel really dizzy and out of it. it was scary.
So I'd recommend marijuana. I know it sounds weird, but it works. And I'm not a druggie. I don't drink and I don't smoke cigarettes. I use pot as medicine (I wouldn't have though I'd be a pot smoker!). I've pretty much stopped now that I've gained 10 pounds, but if I start to lose weight I will smoke once or twice a week and try to load up on food.
I also recommend ensure- you've probably been told this before. I drink at least two Ensures every day. At least you'll get 350 calories from one drink, and if you drink 2-3 a day it will at least keep you from losing any weight.
