I haven't been able to eat in the past 5 days.

For some reason I haven't been able to eat in the past 5 days...

and I'm losing weight

I'm already skinny

I'm one of those really skinny girls who eat a LOT..

but in the past 5 days I've had no appetite at all, I've only eaten a few snacks but if I try to eat more than a tiny morsel my stomach feels really full...

I don't feel depressed...

and I've never had an eating disorder...

what would you do in this situation?

that happened to me a few years ago I had to force more than 1 hot dog down and it would be 3 days before I was even in the mood to eat the thought of food made me urge, it lasted a month of me trying to force feed myself.

the only good thing that came out of that was at the time I had 35lb more than I should so I didn't worry I eventually got my apatite back but not before looseing almost 20lbs. if you are skinny or advrage weight 20lbs might be more than you're body can handle.

I say if you don't start eating normally in 3-4 days go see a doctor and first tell them that you have little to no stress in your life and you suddnly can't eat more than a small snack every few days. I'm sure there's eather a "make you hungry" pill or the doctor can give you or you can get vitamins for food supplements

hope my answer helps

my appetite sometimes decreases when I'm stressed.

what else is going on in your life? anything that'd make you stressed? changes at work or school? new job? family problems? new or different exercise routine?

if you're not too hungry, I'd focus on eating healthfully when you do eat. make sure you're getting good foods, lots of fresh greens and so on.

if the problem persists for more than a week or two, and you start losing weight, you might want to see a doctor. appetite loss can be a symptom of serious problems.

I'm having this same problem...I don't know what it is honestly.

If you used to not drink a lot and got dehydrated, but recently started drinking more water, a lot of people confuse dehydration for hunger. Which would have gone away if yous tarted drinking more.

I confuse dehydration/mild heartburn with hunger allot. as far as I know if my stomach is telling me something it's time to eat. my family tells me to drink more water all the time but I just get a glass of pepsi. I do try to drink at least 1 glass of water a day,

It could be stress, when I'm stressed the thought of food makes me wanna vomit.
