Physically, I feel hungry. Like, that's the kind of feeling in my stomach right now, and it's also occasionally making whale noises. But I don't actually feel hungry, if that make sense. I'll walk into the kitchen and look at the food we have but the idea of actually eating it sounds completely unappealing. Most of the time, it's not repulsive, just unappealing. Almost like I've actually lost the motivation to eat. I've been like this for a few days. I usually eat enough to feed a small family. I think that should tell you why I'm a bit concerned.
Wow, strange! I feel exactly the same sometimes. Usually when I've had an argument with someone or feeling upset or angry I'll notice that my stomach is 'growling' and sort of pinching, basically I'll notice I'm hungry. But when I think about eating it just makes me feel...un motivated like you said..This usually just passes when it happens to me though. Sorry I couldn't help...I just thought I'd share that I feel like that too.
The cause for this can either be physical or psychological. Has there been anything in your life that has upset you recently? Are you struggling with a problem that you can't seem to deal with? Have you had your appendicitis removed? Have you done any strenuous activity recently? Have you eaten something out of the ordinary or that you suspect might have been out of date?
Huh. Well at least I'm not the only one. I have been kind of down for the past few weeks, and I can't think of any particular reason... I haven't done anything strenuous and I don't think I've eaten any expired food, though.
Vitamin deficiency? Time of the year? Hormonal disbalance? Sorry that I can't be of any use to you. I simply have no logical way of explaining this.
I get this feeling too, then I get around to eating and I actually feel like vomiting. It's generally in the morning, and it's really only been for the past month or so. Sometimes I don't eat for the whole day, and yet I'm so hungry I begin to shake and become unwell. We suspect it could be from anxiety, but everyone is different.
I've had that for years, but only when I'm really stressed or anxious about something. Sometimes I know I should eat but I don't want to. Other times I get hungry but if I try to eat my throat feels like it's closed off and I'll throw up if I try. Depression can have a similar effect. You could try easing yourself back into it. Get something small and then take gradual bites of it.
