anorexia is serious... you should see a therapist in the mean time force down a couple of protein shakes or some ensure a few times a day. Take some vitamins as well.

Sorry, but we Americans will have a difficult time imagining what you look like, as we don't weigh ourselves with stone...we use pounds...I think this means you weigh about 98 pounds, which is definitely underweight for someone of your height.
At any rate, you clearly have an eating disorder. I'm not entirely certain what it would be called (I dont' think it's anorexia, as you're not fixated on your weight). You need to see some professionals. Probably more than one. Probably a medical doctor and a psychiatrist.
You really should take it seriously, if only so that it can make your life easier for you...eating is actually kinda nice, and in particular, at holidays and such, I'd hate to think of you sitting around the table with the rest of the family, feeling ill!

It sounds like you have some sort of eating disorder hon, I have a similar problem, im 8st 2 and am 5'8, although I don't suffer from the sickness I can go for ages without food,I don't think about it even though I cook daily for my family, I know I'm not fat, and I know I'm too skinny, but there seems to be a mental blockage there. I do eat a healthy diet when I'm hungry and I don't have any fear of food. I suggest that you visit your Doctor again and ask to see a dietitian, they should help you overcome this.. I'm currently seeing one and they have helped me loads.. Good Luck x

This is hard for some people to understand but some people just hate eating 5'4 and seven stone is not mega skinny, so first stop worrying bout what other people think remeber most of britain(60%) is overweight so thats considered normal here .Next thing is get food you like to eat plan meals that are tasty to you thats what I do I just eat enough to live ane train any extra turns to fat ignore any rude answers that imply you are wierd just find food you enjoy !! good luck paulx

Dont know how long you've been like this but you probably feel sick because you're hungry. Try to eat small amounts. Little and often and drink milky drinks like Horlicks. I am 5'1 and weigh 8st and suffer from IBS my dr told me to eat little and often and my weight hardly ever changes. You sound like you are anorexic and need your doctors help before things ge any worse. If you dont eat Your hair thins and falls out your skin gets bad and worse, parts of your insides can start packing up. See your doctor!

that's because you've taught yourself to be sick of food. You're gonna die soon if you don't get the proper help- i'm the same sort of frame but i love food- i just have a higher metabolic rate so i don't put on weight so easily although i'm 7 1/2 stone and 5ft 5" not that much of a difference really.
Display a feast of what used to be your favourite foods and choose something that'll make you eat.

I think you could have disordered eating or an eating disorder. Please go seek professional help before it catches up with you and kills you. :( It might not seem serious now, but it's taking its toll slowly and one day you'll be in so much suffering that it's almost impossible to get out.
Is it the amount of food or caloric amount of food that compels you to eat less? If it's the amount of food try eating more calorie-dense foods, like chocolate. Take supplements if necessary.
I'd just go see a doctor. Please don't let it get out of hand.
Take care.

You weigh seven stone? No, sorry, I can't picture what you look like.
No, seriously speaking here, you need a doctor who can really help you. Not just hand you some pills...that's ridiculous! It sounds like you need psychological help as well. You should be able to eat when you feel hunger. There's something wrong with that.

I ve heard of problems like that, have you tried going on a cleansing diet maybe your body has something it shouldnt thats why you feel like your not hungry. If not smoke pot it will at least make you think your hungry. when i quit smoking i lost like 20 pounds
