i thought it was weird when i lost my apatite for a few weeks and then got back to where every other day or so i would eat good then not want to eat the opposite day.. ive always been a good eater and never had an eating disorder.
my best friend and husband started having it too around the same time.. not wanting to eat.. neither of them have eating disorders or anything but i figured we knew each other and close enough that maybe we all were going through a phase...
a friend in a totally different state that im not too close with stopped eating too.. same time range for no reason..
another friend in a state in a different part of the usa stopped eating.. no reason..
now my mom has admitted that she hasnt been eating either..
what is going on? 2 out of 7 dont take medications so that cant be it. the others have mostly been on the same meds and hasnt had it affect their apatite much at all..
ive never noticed this happening before to where people just for no reason STOP eating or barely eat and be all over the place and not in the same area.. not to mention most of these people do not know one or the other..
is this a spring thing or is this some new weird bug going around? i dont remember this happening before at a certain time of year.. are you having this too? or noticed a weird pattern of illnesses or something that makes no sense

Its the water!!! Something is in the water!!!! My bro for about the past month or two hasnt really wanted to eat and has lost 20 pounds because of it. I am starting to eat a little bit again...but like one or two snacks and a meal and i am full for the day. I also dont drink a lot during the day either.lol.

Its a truly microscopic organism that even filters cant catch...it latches on to your stomach making it think its full/ your not hungry.

I've had that happen off and on. Sometimes when get busy at work and then get back home and be overwhelmed by playing catch up. I'm hungry, but food just doesn't appeal to me.
I honestly think it is more common before the holidays to have this happen. Thinking about planning and fixing or even the depressing side of it that all the family is doing their own thing so why bother. I kind of felt like that this coming week until my daughter's plans changed and she called and asked can we eat at your house. I kind of got pumped up for it then.
I think we all do go through phrases of eating and non eating, but I don't think it's unhealthy becuase if you aren't hungry then you aren't hungry. I feel terrible when i eat just because the clock says it's time too. I don't feel well afterwards. Maybe it is a spring thing telling me that I don't need that extra pound or two for the summer months - that or it's telling me to get off my butt and get some yard work done to work up an appetiate - LOL.

With me it was i just didnt get hungry...i went an entire day with nothing to eat and never got hungry and it wasnt til the middle of the next day that i realized i hadnt ate anything and still wasnt hungry and had to force myself to eat something.

Hey moonlit! Whatever is in all your water would you please send
it this way! I wish I would get that "stop eating disease"! I
really need to stop eating! I have gained 10 pounds that I don't
have any idea how I'm going to lose! I do go through not wanting
to eat spurts, but not recently! So, could you please send those
"not wanting to eat vibes" my way" and hurry it up before I
blow up like a blimp!lol
