For a few months now I have been having some health problems and have been having a hard time eating. Sometimes I am not hungry at all. Sometimes I am hungry but take a couple bites and can not eat. Sometimes I eat and feel fine. Sometimes I eat and feel sick etc. This has been rotating over a few months. So now most recently I will get hungry but NOTHING will look good not even my favorite foods. Or something will look good one day but not the next. I know I need to eat. But do not like feeling like I am force feeding myself. I never know what will sound good when. How do you make yourself eat? And how do you make food look more appealing when you have no appetite?

Don't take this the wrong way, because I am not joking or being sarcastic. There is much controversy over this, but I happen to know that it has been very helpful for many patients. The use of marijuana for patients, particularly those with cancer, has been helpful in restoring appetite (just like you need). It has helped weakened patients regain weight, appetite, and strength. Currently, there is much controversy over the use of medical marijuana and many groups think it should be illegal, but honestly, I think in your case, it's just what the doctor ordered. I don't know you, or how you feel about drugs, but don't feel like you're going to become a druggie or anything like that. It's not an addictive drug, and if you've ever taken any kind of drug, whether it be by prescription or not, this is really no different. Keep an open mind.

Start with getting a checkup. You might have some underlying disorder, or maybe some medicine you take may cause this as a side effect. If you can't eat much at a time, try to eat small amounts over the course of the day. You need to eat to stay alive. You might try lighter foods like fruits and salads, which won't make you feel as full, but which are still good for you. And when something looks good, be sure to eat it.
