Hi.

You can have disordered eating, without having an eating disorder. The first one just means your eating patterns don't fit the "norm" and the second one is a diagnosable condition. We can't diagnose you here, since nobody is a professional.

What don't you like about food? The hassle of making it, the texture, the time wasted, the varieties of food out there, etc.

Personally, I don't eat a lot some days simply because I forget to eat. My body doesn't always remind me that I'm hungry so sometimes I won't eat for longer than I should. I actually don't hate food, I love to eat. That's my other problem - sometimes I eat too much, or intentionally DON'T eat because I don't want to gain weight, or I hate myself or just because I'm too depressed to eat.

I would say that if you're worried about your eating patterns, to consult a doctor or a therapist and talk about it.
