I can't eat. I have lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. Went a week, ate only 2 meals in 7 days. I just went to the grocery store and walked up and down the aisles, nothing. Went to a Chinese restaurant, KFC, Subway. Nothing.

Did eat some candy this morning and a little bit of meat loaf for lunch, but now, nothing.

Its just crazy. Has happened before. I'm on new meds (celexa) since last Tuesday.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I know how you feel u218, but you got to force yourself to eat something or it will just get worse.

Good that you had a little bit of something today!!

Its frustrating and scary when you feel so yucky you can't eat. i went through a phase of that, though not as severe as yours.

Is it that you have no appetite, or that food makes you feel sick or something like that?

Also, if you just changed meds, talk to your doctor. It could be a side effect from the change. They'll help you figure it out.

I was taking meds to fight cancer and it made me sick as well, so I know how you feel. But you still have to eat. Not eating can lead to kidney and liver failure if it goes on to long. Please promise us you will eat something.

Please try to eat something. Your body needs fuel to help restore you.

oh no this is not good, talk to your doctor as it could be your meds.....in the meantime keep drinking lots, try soup or sports drinks as they will help to keep you hydrated

You do have to eat. You will just lose more and more weight, but it won't be fat, it's muscle, and so your fat content will actually be higher, and you will start getting weaker and weaker. Please force yourself to eat at LEAST a little something twice a day, minimum. Even if it's just a few crackers.

I still weigh 239 (I was once 305, but I am 6 ft 3 inches tall). I lost down to about 260 on purpose, then the depression set in. Thats when I just couldnt eat. I didnt mean to alarm any of you into thinking I was 75 lbs. But I am trying to eat something now.

I'm glad to hear you are eating. It does not matter what your weight is. Not eating for several days will still damage your internal organs. Please try to eat something at least 3 times a day. You will find it gradually gets easier the longer you do it.

Keep on eating!
I lost weight when I was a teen, it wasn't intentional; I just couldn't be bothered / wasn't interested.
Unfortunately, once I saw the attention that my accidental eating disorder achieved, I realised it was the only part of my life I could control and it started to spiral. Be careful hun. Its tricky xxx
