That also depends on what you mean by 'feeling' like eating, a lot of times people will be hungry, yet not "feel' like eating because of whatever reason. At those times it's not really good to not eat. I know there are different circumstances to everyone's story, so it is between that person and their doctors. It's not normal to skip meals, everyone should have at least three meals a day to fuel your body, but it is better to have five small meals a day. By skipping meals it screws with your metabolism and just your body in general. Everyone has different bodies, so the size of meals all depends on what your body needs, which should probably be decided between you and a doctor.
I just took her own term saying that if she didn't "feel like eating"... (Not to talk about you as if you aren't in the room,Godsgirlalways. I'm just trying to explain). I actually don't know what you meant, Godsgirlalways, when you said that, but I know what I felt when it happened to me. I would be hungry but just not interested in food at the moment, mentally, and I think that the two should get together before someone eats because it's just going to cause indigestion if the food isn't wanted by both. Attitude toward it makes a difference as to how it goes down.
I've been forced to eat when I didn't want to, and forced to eat things I hated (not veggies, either... gross things like cream puffs......eww) and so I was just wanting to point out that there is a danger of the person ending up on the opposite end of eating disorders from being forced to eat.
I've talked to lots of thin people and remember how it was when I was thin. I was never anorexic, neither are the people I've talked to. Also, I've read online blogs and answers to questions at forums, etc, who say that hunger for them isn't an emergency that they feel they need to take care of right away where heavy people do.I am not really sure what's been going on lately but lately at times I go through phrases where I eat only a meal a day usually between #-# at night. When I go through the phrase it lasts for alittle while. At times I get hungry and even though I know I am hungry I won't eat at times because I just don't feel like it..
Isn't an eating disorder when the person is obsessed with food, one way or another... thinking about it all the time, always wanting to eat, and either giving in to that all the time and eating when they aren't hungry, or not letting themselves eat for days at a time?
Actually, the best thing is to consult a doctor because parents and friends can misdiagnose and that was my point. Thanks for making me be more specific in what I mean.
Is it clearer now? It seems to me that I've got it more jumbled up than it was in the first place. :o
But, I tried.
