The apathy towards actions that you know are good for your body is so difficult to suppress. That's when I try to take a few minutes to practice mindfulness, i.e. feeling my body, breathing deeply, smelling, tasting, touching, etc. When I do that, sometimes my appetite suddenly returns or I suddenly feel the weight of exhaustion. Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to force myself (if I can). I hope you get what you know your body needs (even though it isn't telling you right now).

I can try to practice mindfulness. I did just drink another hot cocoa because I have some left, so that should keep me satisfied for now. It has marshmallows in it. Not that marshmallows are filling (or even that great for you), but it's something I suppose.
I think my last meal was Wednesday at like 9am, so it's been a while now, and even then, all I ate was a grilled cheese sandwich. I finished the last of my bread and the last of my cheese.
I'm sort of hungry and sort of not. I think my body is going into starvation mode and gave up on sending hungry signals. I just feel a little dizzy/lightheaded whenever I get up, and a burning stomach.
