Is It Normal to Lose One's Appetite W/anorexia? Posted: 11-04-05 21:39pm
I am recovering from anorexia. One of
the things that made me anoreixc and kept
me anorexic was a poor appetite. When I
was very sick, I went a few days without
food. I was hungry for the first day.
After that, I was not hungry anymore. I
felt a sense of empowerment for overcoming
my addiction to food. How ironic?
Anyway, my appetite seemed to disappear or
not happen much when I restricted. I
might be hungry for a short time, but
after that time, I was less hungry even
nauseous so I didn't eat.
I am seeing a nutritinist now and trying
to keep to my meal plan. If I only ate
when I was hungry, i'd be much worse than
I am now. Right now, it is actually
weird. I usually don't have much
appetite, especially like normal people.
Sometimes though I am ravenous though once
I start eating.
I have seen information stating both ways.
Some information says that anorexics
tend to have realtively low appetite.
Other information says that anorexics
rarely lose their appetite and feel hungry
all the time. I don't know which is
true.
Even when I don't have appetite though, I
like to look at food, recipes, and menus
though.

Yeah once I don't eat for awhile I totally
lose my appetite and then it becomes
really easy to continue not eating.
