    couple thoughts-

    When I can't eat food- I drink it. Make a smoothie with pb and milk, toss in some molasses and drink.

    Thyroid issues can take hunger away. High levels of cortisol can do the same thing.

    How long has this been going on and how severe is it? Are you just not hungry today or are you having trouble reaching 1200 calories every day?

    Another thought- sinus infections (or other breathing issues) can make you less hungry because you can't smell the food.

    It's to freaking HOT!! I hate eating in the summer because I LOVE hot food and the last thing you want to do is put a hot meal in your gut when its 95 outside. BLAH!

    You could be pregnant that is a sign. Or have you quit smoking ciggarettes recently that will surely make everything taste different. Both of these things altered my tastebuds incredibly.

    Nothing to do with the heat I live in Ireland and it's only been raining for the past 2 months:mad:

    'Round my TOM I start to fluctuate between being a little nauseous/without appetite and DYING for junk food. Could have something to do with that? :smile:

    I know this is going to sound strange, but damn i wish i was you! All i want to do is eat, which is not very good for a diet.
    It seems like you're in a place were food isn't controlling your life, which sounds like a good place to be. I can understand how being uninterested in food would make eating seem like a chore, but perhaps it's just a phase that will pass. The only advice I can offer (which isn't much) .... do you cook? i don't cook - i hate cooking - but people who cook seem to have a lot of fun with food and get really jazzed about food. Maybe you should go to the movies and see julie and julia :wink: :wink:

    You might want to visit your physician, jiggly. This can be a symptom of many things. You say it's been raining for two months, you could be depressed. This can be aided by going to a tanning salon.
    Don't put it off, go to the doc and make sure everything's ok.
