There are alot of causes for anorexia, & for me, stress is a huge part of it.....when I am stressed, I start feeling sick to my stomach....when I'm feeling that way & try to eat, then I feel even worse, so I end up not eating because I don't like feeling even sicker....then it ends up in a vicious circle....because when I try to eat after not eating.

There are many other causes....& medications can be another....& of course, what they always say is the body image issue, but I would bet that most cases of a huge weight loss has other bases than that. I can also just get involved in doing things & just forget to eat until my stomach reminds me that it is still there.

Sounds like you need to find some GOOD foods that you like....I know now that I am on my own, I can go to the store & buy the foods that really call to me. Food is much more enjoyable when it is something I like & I find that I am drawn to the good foods when it comes right down to getting what I like......of course, there is always the bag of chololate that I have to limit because of headaches.
