No.
Try becoming a little more active than you are right now. It helps make you a little more hungry.
Also, lay off knocking back a soda, milk or juice right before a meal. Stick to water.
Hmmm.... I'm trying to think of what I did, cause I used to have this same problem.
Also, try asking if you can wait just a little bit longer before eating, so that you'll be hungry.
No, you don't have an eating disorder. At least from what you've told us.
Here's some things to start looking for, to make sure that you don't start developing one:
Anorexia: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/anorexia/DS00606/DSECTION=2
Binge eating (yes, a real disorder): http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/binge-eating-disorder/DS00608/DSECTION=2
Bulimia:

Hope this helps!

It is possible. But I'm the same way. I even forget to eat for up to 4 days at a time. I don't think I have an eating disorder, so you probably don't, but if you think you might, then go see a doctor. At least you'll feel better.

No you dont have an eating disorder! just a body system that is slightly out of time!
maybe try to train your body into eating at different times...
Do you have a late lunch? if so maybe try to eat a little earlier.
The best way to keep your body at its peak performance is to eat 6 small meals a day...
big breakfast, small snack (nuts, fruit), decent lunch, small snack (yoghurt), dinner, snack.
Try not to eat too much after 8pm so your body has a chance to digest etc. But if you can slowly get into the habit of eating dinner earlier, you will find that your body will get used to that and will want to eat then.
cheers

I agree with eating mini meals spaced every few hours. Not that unusual to have no appetite sometimes. PrettyMommy is the one with the eating disorder. How can someone "forget" to eat for 4 days? That worries me.

Your best bet is to go to your doctor and talk about what is going on they can shed more light on what is going on than any body here.
