No appetite anymore, losing weight without meaning to.?

So for the last 3 weeks are so I just haven't been enjoying food. The only thing I like to eat are chips and deli sandwiches which I only eat ever so often. Foods that never used to bother me are now torture to scarf down. I literally gag eating something that a month ago I might have even enjoyed. I already dislike broccoli but usually I can easily get it down with milk. I tried to eat some the other day and I just couldn't. As soon as it was in my mouth I began gagging and spit it up involuntarily. About a month ago I weighed 101, I know weigh 94. I am 5'4. What could this be? Is it worth going to the doctors for (I hate the doctors).

God I wish I could induce that kind of reaction in me... But only if I could change back after. I'd say you're pretty thin now. Are you put off by the taste or by the fact that you're eating. How do you see your body when you look in the mirror? Do you think you're just right, too heavy or too thin?

What I'm getting at is the possibility that you might be developing an eating disorder. Hopefully that's not happening, but if there's a chance you want to talk to a doc about it. Stay healthy.

I am happy with the way my body is. I've always had a tiny waist and I like it the way it is. My legs could be skinnier but again, I am pretty happy with the way I look. It's not a mental thing where I force myself not eat, I just don't have an appetite. It's quite strange.

Glad to hear it. All I can say is to eat when you're hungry and take in enough nutrition to keep your body healthy.

I know from experience that stress can heavily impact your appetite. For some people stress causes them to overeat but for skinnier people I notice stress causes them to have major trouble eating.

This may sound crazy but try a 10minute jog and then eat right after and see if your appetite helps. Sometimes being idle makes it tough to eat.

You can also try a huge factor that causes people to overeat and that is multitask like watch TV and eat. Just use good foods when you do.

Maybe its psychological why you're not eating, or it might be something else. If this pattern continues, see a doctor.

If its happening with lots of foods not just a couple then it is good to get it checked out
