I can't eat? :\

[NecromancerJali]

Okay so, 3 days ago, I ate at around 12 o'clock at lunch time. After school, I went to my friends house and ate nothing, even though I was starving. I hate asking people for food when I'm at their house so I usually wait until they offer. But apparently she wasn't hungry so I never ate. I never ate breakfast in the morning either. So I waited until lunch the next day to eat again, then I went to her house again and did the exact same thing. Yesterday, when I tried to eat lunch, I didn't have the energy to eat it because for lunch I usually only have a slice of pizza and a bottle of pop. Not much to keep you running for the whole day. So I went to eat something this morning, I couldn't eat it. My stomach started making all these weird noises and for some reason I just couldn't eat it. I'm starving here.

What should I do?

It's all psychological if you don't have a legitimate stomach bug or something.

The more you allow yourself to get intimidated by eating, the more it leads to a problem. Eat, if you get sick, just relax and try again later.

If symptoms persist, as the packaging says, go see a doctor.

Nah, it's not psychological.

Your stomach creates a lot of digestive juices for the food. When it stops receiving food it stops creating these (so as not to just digest your stomach lining. It also starts to shrink. Once you go past the 24 hour (or so) mark, your brain does also start switching off the hunger signals, but it does become genuinely hard to eat, and as your stomach starts up again, it will make a lot of noises, and make you feel nauseous. The only way to get hungry again is to eat.

Just start with something small. Something easy to eat, even it it has to be cake of chocolate or sh-t like that. I usually go for bread or something. Just eat small mouthfulls, a bit at a time over a few minutes. Then something like a bowl of cereal (as said above) is usually good.

Once you've got a bit of food in there, you'll be ready for a snack in an hour of two, then you'll start to get really hungry for a meal a couple of hours after that.


Protip: Don't starve yourself. Get over your pride or whatever and ask your friend for a snack.
