Okay,
well I have always been a "good eater". meaning I could tell when I was hungry and I could tell when I needed to eat.
For the past 3-4 days, I've been in total hell.
I haven't been hungry at all. And the few times I have, I've only eaten a few bites out of the meal.. then I was full.
I know this isn't healthy, but I really can't eat if I feel full or not hungry. =[
So I haven't eaten a full meal of anything in...
2 days.
And when last time I ate it was some pasta and noodles, and I couldn't finish the whole (very small) plate.
Can anybody help? What's wrong with me? =[=[

To begin with, this may not be as serious as you think. It may be the beginnings of the flu or other viral infection. If it persists, please see a physician. To explain more about hunger and what controls appetite, you must look at the brain. The hunger and feeding portion in the brain is the hypothalamus. Many individuals have problems with their hypothalamus. Some can't stop eating and others don't eat. certain signals in the brain ether trigger or do not trigger the appetite sensation. To control these abnormalities with hunger, hormone therapy is widely used. I do not think you need to worry about it too much. Depending on your age, and since you can use a computer, I think by now you would know if you had a hypothalamus disorder. That is unless you have recently had an accident where you have hit your head rather hard. So, my advice would be to wait it out and if it persists, see a physician and simple blood work will indicate any problems with unbalanced hormone function. Keep in mind, the human body can survive about 2 weeks without food but only about 2 days without water. So keep drinking lots of fluids and see if your apatite comes back. Hope this helps. Take care.

Firstly, consider going to see a doctor, especially if this continues for a long period of time.
There are many reasons that you might not feel hungry. Stress or too much coffee might do it.
You might be sick or your might have some sort of stomach flu (which usually leaves me hungry, but when I eat 2 bites I end up full). You might have brain damage to your hypothalamous.
So, if you want to wait a few days before going to the doctor, you should still eat.
1. Diet supplements. YOu can buy them, including hospital strength ones, from the chemist. You should be able to get the basic ones from the supermarket. They can give you the complete range of protiens, vitamins etc that you body needs.
2. Drink soups and plenty of fruit juice and milk (they are easier to take and give you some nutrients).
3. Eat some food. I always eat a little, even when I am very sick. it helps the body recover.
My one friend didn't eat or sleep for 6 days because of stress, then collapsed in the shower one day. If you eat a little each day you will be ok, and if the problem continues go to a doctor.
