I can't remember the last time I felt hungry. I eat because I want to, not because I feel the need to. I tried not eating for days yet I couldn't feel hungry at all. But it's not like I can't eat. I'm totally fine eating (aka I don't feel like I'm gonna throw up or anything if I do), but I just can't feel the need to to it. It's been like this since forever.
Is there something wrong with me? Should I talk to a doctor about this?

It took years after my anorexia to feel hungar again & even now it's easy for me to ignore.

I would talk to your md about it though...they might have a solution

I have this same issue. I can go all day without eating because I just don't have an appetite. It's not because I don't want to eat, but I guess eating just isn't a priority on my daily to-do. For me, however, I feel that it is depression-related. When I am in a low point, I tend to not eat anything, as opposed to the "norm" of overeating with depression. Is that something you deal with, or something you might be dealing with without realizing it? If so, you might want to talk to a doctor about it.

When my anorexia was at its worst, hunger pangs disappeared. I hadn't been responding to hunger pangs for a long time and they just went away. I finally realized I was way too thin and my ED had taken over me. I was no longer in control and that scared me. Plus being an adult at 5'8" but size children's clothes. I had a wake up call. I slowly reintroduced food and hunger pangs returned.

I'm not recovered. I'm still underweight. But I do get hunger pangs. Admittedly, my default is to ignore them. It isn't healthy or normal but I'm loads better than that dark time I described above.

I don't know if that helped or not. Take care. xo

How's your sense of smell? My mother lost hers many years ago and since then, she hasn't felt hungry ever. She eats a meal when someone tells her to, not b/c shez hungry. (tho snacks b/c she likes it )

If recent issue, maybe sinus trouble? see doctor?
