well heres my story. ifor the past few days ive been depressed. my bf of 2 years broke up with me the other day cause he said he didnt love me anymore. so i was very depressed and i know depression makes you loose your appetite. so i cired for just about 3 days straight. we made up today and we're back together. (please dont judge my relationship with him as you do not knwo the whole story)
im more concerned with my eatng habits. the only thing ive really eaten in the past 3 days is 2 waffels. and everytime i try to eat somethign i feel like im going to throw up. ive lost 5 lbs already (mostly water weight im guessing) but now im happy and i still do not have an appitite. he took me out to dinner tonight and i tried so hard to eat, caus ei know i need somethign in my body but i just felt liek throwing up with every bite i took.
im worried, can i be developing an eating disorder? shoudl i wait a till next week and if it doesnt get any better should i go to the docs?

You work at Starbucks? Have you been drinking coffee lately? Caffiene supresses the appetite. I know that when I drink coffee, I can't eat for a few hours and if I do I feel sick. Avoid caffiene for a few days and see what happens. Also, if you are stressed about other issues or are feeling insecure in your seemingly rocky relationship and it's making you lose your appetite, try planning your meals and eating healthy snacks throughout the day. Your appetite should return. If it doesn't see a doctor.
Loss of appetite can be a cause of physical as well as mental issues. It doesn't mean you have an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. Anorexia and Bulimia are psychological disorders that manifest in problems eating. Typically people who have these disorders see themselves in a very negative light ie. feelings of worthlessness, thinking "I'm such a fat ***" ect. There is also an unhealthy obsession with food. If you don't feel as if food is your enemy, it's unlikely that you are developing one of these problems. Again, if you cut back on the caffiene and try eating light snacks and meals and your appetite does not return, see a doctor.

If you're consuming this fashion in view that you are now not excited about meals, it is somewhat dangerous, however now not wholly unnatural. However, if you're consuming this fashion in view that you think as even though you are too fats (which is usually recommended by way of your purging of meals), particularly in view that you're already underweight, this might be a nasty signal. The truth that you just recognize that you'll have an consuming disease is a well step within the proper course. Talk for your dad and mom, a trainer, or an grownup you believe (simpler mentioned than performed, however it'll be valued at it if it is helping you conquer this quandary). It's not anything to be embarrassed about/embarrassed approximately; close to each and every youngster is going via weight or frame snapshot problems. By the best way: although you do not desire to pig out at breakfast, you will have to devour no less than a bit some thing. Breakfast kicks your metabolism into equipment; if you do not devour some thing, it does not begin going till you devour lunch, that is probably a larger caloric consumption, and you'll be able to with ease reap weight this fashion. So, consuming extra truthfully maintains you from gaining weight on this case!

Im not gonna judge your relationship but you said he broke up with you because he did not love you and now you are back together.I will leave it at that.Think about what you said.I believe although he is back that you are still depressed although you think you are happy now.It takes time to let the past go and someone walking out on you will take time to get over although he is back with you.I would not say there is a problem with eating just yet but you do need to try to force yourself to eat more often.If it makes you feel sick with every bite then just keep eating not a less this continues.I would guess it`s just depression and nerves but if it continues then get it checked out.

your fine itll take a lil bit of time to get your appatite back just drink lots of water and take a few multivitamins or buy some slimfast or carnation instant breakfasts and use those for a lil while till you get your appatite back. you didint eat for three days and im guessing you wernt a huge eater to begin with so you will take another like 3 days to get back into your old habits. till them just try to gradualy get bakc into it.
glad to hear your with your boyfriend again i know how much it sux to be left by someone you have been with for a long time i went thru the same thing when my girlfriend of 3 years wanted to split up i was sh!tty for days but we are on the same route as you two prolly gunna get back together soon. hope you two are happy

It can be very normal for people to lose appetite when they are stressed or depressed. You will get it back. Don't keep up not eating much for weight loss though. If you actually have weight you want to lose, eat healthy foods.
