What are the things that may lose your apetite?

I think for me there are many things/factors that may lose my appetite, such as weather, environment, etc. But one of the things that I really really don't like is bad news during or before a meal. Anything that would make me feel bad can lose my appetite and sometimes make me think and forget that I was supposed to eat our dinner.

And I find that once you vomit something up, you never want to eat that particular thing again...

A sudden shock or piece of bad news will make me lose my appetite completely. Also, strangely enough, if I get some wonderful news, I don't want to eat much either. At other times, I love my food, and have to watch a tendency I have to over-eat. _Derek

Mostly I lost my appetite to bad news also. When i am stress and have problems especially if I have financial problems. It is really hard to fix financial needs on time. It is my first ever big problem in life until now that i have a job. But my job also give me the problem now. They do not give yet the amount that i need. I mean what is due to her is due to her. On the very beginning of my life money makes me the source of losing m appetite.

Hi ivygrey, Like you i too get my appetite affected by different elements or things. However I have never been influenced negatively on my appetite by weather or climate things. I usually lose my appetite when I am tensed or in some stress, in angry mood, too sad over this or that, too happy and when I am sick. Or else I go with the normal appetite and eat the usual quantity. Sometime, however, a little more.

Me to if I hear bad news I can't eat. I'm the type bad news or bad things happening around me there goes my appetite. Also hearing someone sick in the bathroom will turn my stomach. Watching something on TV that is disgusting will also do it for me, such as, bloody things.

When I cook something, I tend to not be hungry for it after. Being sad will make me lose my appetite also.

ivy bad table manners of fellow residents, a resident that complains all the time, and tonight it was not being able to send emails out as my son put an imap account on my email and forgot to make a change in the user name for my new email account, so my son tried to tell me how to c hange it but I just could not make it work. He will come s ee me Saturday so that will fix that problem. So bad computer problems, too much hot weather, those things will kill my appetite, and a complainer at our table will dampen my appetite. I know I am much too emotional over things but I wa so mad at myself for not b eing able to follow my son's directions adequately.

Foull odours make me lose my appetite, specially fat. There are places, specially at the beach, where they sell some fried food on the streets. The smell of the frying fat feels like I never want to eat again.

I usually have a healthy appetite with no problem. If I am nervous about something, everything changes. i can't eat if I am nervous or worried. The only other thing that can cause my loss of appetite is not feeling well. Hot weather is also another contributor to the cause.

Hi Ivygrey!. Honestly when I really tired I don't have appetite to eat. One day when I visit my Dad hometown, I go to one of my uncle farm and we harvest a leek there, its fun. I don't realize how tired I am until when we have dinner and we pray before eating. And you know what I am sleeping in my prayer so you can say I fall a sleep in dinner table. Another think that made me loose my appetite is when someone spit in front of me or dirty environment.

Hi ivygrey Mood of a person while eating plays a big role in hunger, if you are happy, you may over eat, if sad hunger may vanish totally, i have faced this several times.. Yes weather, health problems do have roles to play too.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. HAVE A NICE SUNDAY. God Bless. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I rarely lose my appetite as I like my food too much! However, occasionally the idea of eating eggs makes me feel nauseous, and when that happens it puts me off everything. It´s rather weird, as I really like eggs 99% of the time! Just occasionally, just the very thought of them is enough to make me heave.

Not much (LOL)! I am what is called an emotional eater and if I get upset I tend to eat more of the wrong things! If I feel depressed I don’t care and get stuck into the chocolate etc! The only time I feel off food is if I’m sick or if I am grossed out by something! I wish I was one of those folks who stop eating when upset or angry; I would be a lot slimmer!

I lose my appetite in extremely hot weather. I think that is why so many people gain weight in the winter months. There is no heat so we feel more like eating. I think it might have something to do with eating hot foods though. People don't want to eat something hot when they are already hot. When they do eat, they eat things like cold sandwiches so they don't get hotter because of it. I do force myself to eat at least one meal a day because I know that I have to. I also lose my appetite when I see something gross. I mean by that, that if I see something on the news that sickens me or when I hear somebody say something gross, talking about body functions etc.

That would when my kids would scream or whine in front of our meals, usually takes away my appetite. Or anything that stresses me out, like arguing with my husband. Oh, and I also hate noise when eating.

I often lose my appetite whenever I am tired of office work. I do not eat dinner all the time because of this, though I benefit from it sometimes because I lose a even a little weight... :P
