My friends have all noted that I've lost a lot of weight, and I can't eat more than a cup of food at a time, now. I realized today that where I used to be able to easily down a pint of ice cream, I can barely manage half of that, even if it's all I had to eat all day. I think it's the stress, but I'm surprised, because my reaction to stress used to be eating, and now it's the exact opposite. My family left for the weekend, and the biggest meal I had was a thin liverwurst and cheese sandwich, with a tiny bowl of cottage cheese and raspberry jam. In spite of the fact that we had a fully stocked frigde. I used to cook for everyone all the time, and now I only look at food when I have to. What I'm wondering is if I've got an eating disorder, or if it is something that will change back if things get less stressful. Has this ever happened to you? confused

I have a friend who tends to lose weight when she gets stressed due to lack of eating, she also vomits it up... though... but it's a mental thing for her... it's not like she's trying to vomit.

So I think as long as you're not trying to vomit, if you're not hungry, it's fine for a time.... just if it keeps happening for a few weeks see somebody about the stress.

That is kind of what's worrying me. I haven't been able to eat much in months. I've had a few medical problems that I need to get checked out, but I can't afford the doctors' bills. sad I'm hoping that the website I'm working on will bring in a decent income, and I'll stop being so stressed, but that will probably take a few more months. sweatdrop
