Default Not Hungry...?

would not being hungry be a eating disorder? I don't purposely starve myself...I promise. Though I don't eat much. Sometimes I went three days without food at all. Also, daily, I don't eat breakfast or lunch...cuz...I'm lazyish. Like...Idk, just not hungry, don't see a point in eating or making the food, so I just don't eat. But I don't get hungry...is that bad? And I can tell it's effecting me sometimes cuz I'm sometimes shakey and weak, but that's it...i think.

Yes i would say not getting hungry is bad. I'm not sure if it would be classed as an eating disorder although some one else may be able to advise there.
Your post sounded just like the way i am. I wont eat unless i feel physically hungry, i know when it started with me. I have always struggled with my weight and I used to avoid eating meals in public and would skip meals. I guess i just got used to not eating properly but it has messed me up. Now i cant stand most foods, i went years like you not eating breakfast but im slowly getting back into the habit. Im trying to eat better now, im trying small amounts of food often even if im not hungry instead of the usual 3 large meals. I'm not sure yet if it will work but if you are getting weak and shaky you deffinately need to start eating a bit more even if you have to force yourself.

Ah I do the same I will go all day without eating. It gets to about 7-8pm and I will start shaking. I know from experience that when I start shaking I have about 20mins before I faint, then I just force myself to eat. It sux, but again I don't do it on purpose.

Smoking doesn't help with appetite either, nicotine is a hunger suppressant.

Yeah, I also can go days without eating just because I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat alone, but not in public either, so if someone isn't around to cook for or eat with it just doesn't seem worth the effort. Eating always seems such a waste of time.

I do think, however, there is an self-abusive side to it. I look forward to the weakness, dizziness, lethargy coz it keeps my mind off other things. I also struggle to drink enough water. Anyone else have this problem?

Yeah I don't drink enough water either. But I drink stuff with water in it, I don't see how it makes a difference?
